The htmlArea 2 & 3 editors have been discontinued.

We've made these forums available as a read-only reference and knowledge-base for people using or developing editors based on htmlArea 2 or 3.

Anyone who is interested in taking over version 2 or 3 is free to do so. All we ask is that you choose a new name that doesn't have "htmlarea" in it to avoid confusion with this site. We'll even give you a link in the directory to make it easier for people to find you. If you are developing or hosting an htmlArea based-editor under a new name, please submit it to our directory.

Hi Mishoo,
Second, I'd really like to see the Image Popup extended with an upload possibility. Until now I used htmlarea_wei_*, but that one still isn't updated for RC1, so I can't upgrade yet. Frown Will the Image Upload ever be in the main HTMLArea code? Or be supplied as a plugin? To be honest I can't live without it anymore.Cool


It is not just simple to do General Image Popup Extension/Plugin.

Everybody is not running they CMS's or other solutions on LAMP environment. Only this is one case why there is not real usage for making general upload and imagebrowse features to such a plugin. BUT if threre will be some general - it should be so light that people could easily write their own image browsing and upload mechanisms in it.

We are using htmlarea on Java based Content Server - so there is no usage of php/asp upload popups.. OfCourse we could use some parts of them, but generally we need to write own solutions..

Re: [mishoo] HTMLArea 3.0-RC1 [In reply to] Can't Post

Thanks for the great software mishoo!

I'm new to htmlarea and just downloaded htmlarea 3.0 yesterday and I was having some trouble customizing the toolbar and just wanted to post what I found. I couldn't get the code in the reference file http://dynarch.com/htmlarea/reference.html to work (

var config = new HTMLArea.Config();
config.toolbar = [
[ "linebreak", "my-toc", "my-date", "my-bold", "my-hilite", "my-sample" ]
];
HTMLArea.replace('id', config);


) in IE 6 or Mozilla Firebird 0.7 running on IIS 5. What did work was:

editor.config.toolbar = [
[ "linebreak", "my-toc", "my-date", "my-bold", "my-hilite", "my-sample" ]
];


which I extracted from an earlier post in this thread (thanks to this person for posting this code) and added right before editor.generate(); in the code from core.html.

Not sure if this is known or not,

In Mozilla, the advanced URL entry popup comes up, however, I cannot enter data into it.

I'm using Firefox 0.8ish on Winblows 2k.

Re: [webmonkey] HTMLArea 3.0-RC1 [In reply to] Can't Post

Yes it is, webmonkey. There is a patch in the 3.0beta thread. I don't think it was applied to 3.0 rc1 for some reason. Search for "focus" and you should find it in that thread.

Also, how do I use graphics of different size for the toolbar? After changing the 18px to 22px in htmlarea.js, the toolbar does not work properly in Mozilla. On mouseover, the toolbar expands and get larger (and keeps growing).

And I did not see how to return the border arond just the textarea like was the default in 3.0 beta.

It is not just simple to do General Image Popup Extension/Plugin.


Hi everyone,
Is it possible to have some variables or methods in the existing config object that will let us modify the urls to popups of the icons : link, image, table, color, fullscreen, about, reference and the link that explain how to update mozilla for cut/paste (which is wrong on mozilla.org with v1.5 and v1.6 and not evident enough to let non specialists modify it).

At each new update, i am modifying almost each of thoses urls to custom php versions (link.html, insert_image.html, insert_table.html, select_color.html, fullscreen.html, about.html, reference.html, http://mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html)

Or perhaps a urls.js, or in the language file (but i dont like much the language file solution, by using some methods or modifying variables from the existing config object is my fav Tongue

Mishoo, any possibility to include this in future CVS please ? Sly

Have a good day
Mokhet

Re: [mishoo] HTMLArea 3.0-RC1 [In reply to] Can't Post

The problem with mozilla/firefox and style.display = 'none'; style.display = 'block' problem is STILL not fixed. This is a very big deal because many sites use DHTML to control much of the functionality of their pages. (see problem here: http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=24794).

I know this may be related to a bug in Gecko, but is there a workaround for it? This really should be fixed before rc2 (if there is one)

Re: full window in IE [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi

Thanks for your work on this. Just a couple of minor problems with RC1 that you may have already fixed - but just in case.

With the enlarge editor option there is a relative path setting in the popup html fullscreen.html

<script type="text/javascript" src="../htmlarea.js"></script>

This doesn't seem to matter in Mozilla but in IE 6 it seems to mean that the full screen option will only work if the file calling it is in a subdirectory of the htmlarea folder. I have hardcoded this line to an absolute url for the htmlarea.js, but would it be possible to change this file to use the _editor_url variable to set path to htmlarea.js in the fullscreen.html file?Wink

Also the

if (ev.keyCode == 27) {
update_parent();
window.close();
return;
}

cause an error in IE 6 (complains about an object being needed). No major issue as I just commented these lines out, but perhaps an if(ie) check could be added here in the release.

I have also put together a php based image upload dialog to replace the existing image dialogm which allows users to upload and then select files for insertion. Let me know if you would like a copy of this to include in the release.

Thanks again for your work on this.

Regards
Glen

Re: [mishoo] HTMLArea 3.0-RC1 [In reply to] Can't Post

Another thing I've noticed that's strange: When you fisrt start typing in the HTMLArea, it's not set to the font style that's specified in the toolbar. You must first hilight the text, and then change the font or size to something else, and then back again.

I'm assuming this is not the expected behavior, hopefully there's a simple fix for this??

Insert-Link doesn't get the focus using Mozilla. There are some patches to solve the problem.
But there is another Problem with link.html: If you press the OK-Button nothing is inserted.

by double space do you mean adding more br tags than origionally provided?

I have made sure mine does not do that. If you are talking about something else though please specify the problem better.

Re: [rehab_shouman] HTMLArea 3.0-RC1 [In reply to] Can't Post

well..... aspell is a very seperate program from php. to do a spell check using aspell and php you would need do some command line stuff... I'm not sure that any of the hacks around actually do that. Most use Pspell. Pspell is a module that can be included in php not a CGI. There are instructions on installing it on the php site. Or if you cannot install modules on your host, then you may need to find someone who will host that spell checking file for you.

Mishoo's script is perl and it runs as a CGI. The CGI compatability and directory are set on your server. Perl needs to be installed on the server and the CGI bin must be set in Apache(or whatever webserver). Most hosts provide support for this.

One nice thing about all of this is that someone not on your site can host the spell checking file, all you need to do is point the form in the spellchecker_UI.html file at the cgi or php file. (note: not exact name of file).

I hope this clears things up... maybe :)

Re: [webmonkey] HTMLArea 3.0-RC1 [In reply to] Can't Post

to use pspell i have to comple php with --with-pspell[=dir], but the problem is that i'm using Merak Mail server and its internal php, so i don't really know how to complie php with pspell, and thats why i used the comman line version of aspell, and it is working fine except for that error with double space.

so i really don't know what to do

Re: [mishoo] HTMLArea 3.0-RC1 [In reply to] Can't Post

You did not answer the <html><head> tag quesiton? how do you stop those tags from automatically being inserted into the pages?

While I'm at it, is there a way to keep it from printing the html in one long string? I have my html saved in a db field. My program calls that field up and loads the html, and then i use htmlarea to edit. The problem is, is you switch to code view it's all one string, no matter how it was originally saved in the db field.

1. stop loading "FullPage" plugin -- that one adds <html> and <body> tags.

2. try the new HtmlTidy plugin (present in the CVS code); it requires some stuff on the server side (PHP & tidy) but it worths it; it cleans and beautifies code.

Re: [glendavies] full window in IE [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi Glen

I just made this change to fix that 'fullscreen' editor_url prob you mentioned.

Code
  <title>Fullscreen HTMLArea</title>    

<script type="text/javascript">
_editor_url = window.opener._editor_url;
_editor_lang = window.opener._editor_lang;
var BASE = window.opener.document.baseURI || window.opener.document.URL;
var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
var base = document.createElement("base");
base.href = BASE;
head.appendChild(base);

document.write("<scr" + "ipt type='text/javascript' src='" + _editor_url + "htmlarea.js'></scr" + "ipt>");

</script>

Re: [mishoo] HTMLArea 3.0-RC1 [In reply to] Can't Post

Just downloaded RC1 and started checking it out. Bumped into a problem that seems to occur in Mozilla 1.5 and 1.6.

When you load up the popup windows for Insert Link and Insert Image they do their pretty little dance while opening up. After opening you try to click in any of the text boxes so you can type and the text boxes wouldn't gain focus. If you click off of the popup and back onto it however the text boxes can gain focus.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this problem or not. I tested it out on 2 different machines, one with Mozilla 1.5 and one with 1.6.
