Mitchell Harper's WYSIWYG HTML Editor

I have just stumbled on the article on WYSIWYG HTML Editor. WOW I am impressed! I want to integrate this into pages of a client's web site so THEY can edit the pages. I was looking for the support material for the 2nd half, and the zip file that uploaded was zero length.

Has anyone done this, and does anyone know where the 2nd half support files can be found? They should be of help I assume in converting to PHP and probably flat files to hold the data. The only other question immediately coming to mind is the uploading of any images up to the server. I know how to do this, but integrating it into this editor would be a very interesting (challenging) task I'm sure.
Thanks.

Hi Scott,

I'm looking to do the same thing...except with a MySQL database and articles.

However, I don't think that anybody (at least from the devArticles team) will tell you how it's done. You see, that's basically the whole idea of their product, SiteWorksPro. I've been scouring the Internet for resources, but have come up empty-handed.

Have you read Mitchell's article called, "ConMan from a developer's perspective?" It might be worth checking out.

P.S. If you find any resources or code, please PM it to me. Thanks!

I am trialing editize at the moment from sitepoint.com Their support guys told me that the next version would have an image support and an upload facility.

you might try using a popup window to list available files and provide the option to upload a new file.

A user could then select the image they wish to use from say icons ? and then all you'd need to do is call the insert image function from the window.opener and parse through the url of the image on that site.

At least that is how I have done it previously and have seen other people doing it also. Although I used the code provided by ms on msdn.

scoot,
are you scoot guthrie from asp.net team ?

cde, Thanks for the idea;
James Yang, Nope.

Has anyone played with making this work on a MacIntosh?

I agree, it is nicely done and would make a neat and simple editor for a CMS.

Have you guys tried out EditWorks Professional.NET or .PHP?

It's the WYSIWYG editor in easy to use format.

.NEt on is in server control format and also includes features like adding tables, color picker and custom inserts.. You can also upload images..

Check it out..

James,

I have customers in industries using exclusively MacIntosh. These editors are indeed very nice, but require a PC.

I was ready to shell out my $50 when I first looked at the page. But, alas, PC only.


Thanks,

Ken

hehe unfortunately, technology used in these editors are not supported in Mac IE.. But the new IE coming out for Mac should support them : )

Please note, when the control is viewed in netscape or other un supported browsers, it "should" display a normal textbox : ))

i havn't tested mac ie but ill do that tonight.

i don't think it shhows normal textbox for mac cuz its still IE.. ill fix that!

I tried it on an imac/os9 with IE 5.2.1 and it displayed a textbox with html in it and a view button to see the page.

Ken

Oh ok.. any way unfortunately the technology we use isn't supported in Mac IE

i don't have access to a mac atm..

could you do me a favour plz? could you go to
the ewp php site, and see if the demo there works with Mac?

If it does, i can fix the .net one to work with mac IE as well.

James,

I was wrong in my last posting. I was testing some other code when I say the textbox and view button.

On the imac, both your .net and php product work the same.

They display everything correctly, same as on a PC, but you can't type in the textbox. You can't get focus on it.

You can, however, type in the html box.

Ken

Oh ok ..

yes that is a bug as ive suspected. ill fix it tonight

For WYSIWYG Editor on mac IE, you will need to use Java Applet or Active X control
