WYSIWYG editor works. Oh, my!

[Ryan]

I have to thank you guys for including a WYSIWYG editor that actually works in OmniWeb. It's lovely.

Which reminds me, why don't all those other editors work (TinyMCE, FCKeditor, etc.)?

[aaike]

Have I overlooked something or is this a thing of the future you are talking about?

[Ryan]

I may have been a bit ambiguous. I meant the WYSIWYG editor on this forum. A lot of forums/blogs/etc. that have WYSIWYG editors don't quite work in OmniWeb. This one, however, does, and I like that.

WYSIWYG editor on this forum? Are you referring to the formatting bar?

Um, yes.

It lets you do WYSIWYG formatting. Eh? How's that?

We WordPress folks refer to it as a WYSIWYG editor, because we tend to hand-code our site designs but complain loudly if we have to code our posts. It's odd.





Oh, you want to know what's really funny/stupid? I didn't actually try said formatting bar. I just got really excited to see all the little icons, and assumed it would style my text right in the editor. I didn't realize it just puts in tags. My face is quite red.:D

I wish we could get the WYSYWIG toolbar in WordPress 2.0.2. I only see it when I use FireFox.
I reported the problem quite a while ago and I was told that this would be something to be implemented in WebKit itself (some kind of limitation with Javascript as far as I remember).

PS: I also avoid typing html tags by hand in WordPress: I use MarsEdit (http://ranchero.com/marsedit/) :-)

[Ryan]

Ah, MarsEdit. A nice application, one I may invest in soon enough. For now I open up Camino (http://www.caminobrowser.org/) and do my editing. Using OmniWeb would be pretty sweet, though.

Sigh. And if only OmniWeb did my laundry as well, then it would be a near-perfect browser.

Bit of a thread (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/60870) over at WordPress on this, but Opera and the latest Firefox Universal Binaries seem to be OK.

Sneaky Peak (Peek - doh!) works with the Visual Rich Editor - when spoofed as Firefox anyway.

Veruy nice!! I never thought of pretending to be FireFox. I jus tried andd saw it for a second... then OW crashed....

Thanks for the tip though,

Hi Splutter,

I tried with the latest sneaky peak, but i can not use the built in WYSIWYG Editor in Joomla, Mambo powered sites and even not in SugarCRM as i spoofed omniweb as firefox....any tips?

I'm developing sites with Joomla cms. Joomla uses advanced Rich Editors (Tiny MCE or JCE editor). They both work as long as you spoof the website as Firefox, but only basic features work correct. You can't use the advanced features like uploading images. Also viewing html source of the text you're editing doesn't work. Indent and lists are not working too. When trying to change the font style or font size, the selected text is deselected when clicking on one of the font menu's.

The last post is a little old, but I did try the suggestion to spoof as Firefox and see if my Wordpress WYSIWYG editor buttons appeared.
They both appear and work, no crashes so far.
