Agenda

This month we will be discussing the integration of WYSIWYG editors and Drupal. Drupal has historically not included a WYSIWYG editor in the core package and due to the pluggable nature of the system there have been a number of different component “recipes” that have been developed and some that have been identified as “best practices”. The installation and configuration of a WYSIWYG editor in Drupal has notoriously been a complicated and often painful process. Please come and share your tips, trick and suggestions about the approaches you use when you build sites with WYSIWYG editors.

Ideas for presentations:

  • Working with inline images
  • Installing a WYSIWYG editor (CKEditor, TinyMCE, etc)
  • Which toolbar buttons should you enable?
  • How do WYSIWYG Profiles relate to Text Formats?
  • Customized installations for specific client needs
  • Adding new functionality to a WYSIWYG editor

We would love to have you speak! You do not need to present a polished presentation to contribute to the conversation. Even if you only have a question about a particular WYSIWYG-related issue, others probably have the same question and asking it will begin a useful discussion. Add a comment below with a summary of what YOU are going to present!

As usual we will begin with introductions and we will also spend a little time talking about the upcoming DrupalCon and have some social time following presentations.

I'd be happy to show what our standard setup is with Ckeditor, IMCE, and Plupload.

I would also like to chat about inline/embedded media players like MediaElement.js

Hello,

I spoke about adding a little feature at the meetings for us newbies. I have a site that I have been working on for a local political cartoonist and It would be great to get feedback from all the vets out there. I would be happy to demo what I have done so far. Yes, I am willing to take punishment. That is how I learn.

I'll quickly demo the WYSIWYG features of D8.

Help for newbies

Brian - If your question isn't specific to WYSIWYG, it would be better to review your site setup after the regular meeting. I'd be happy to have a look and provide feedback.

Coworking before SeaDUG meeting

Coworking will be at Zeitgeist Coffee http://zeitgeistcoffee.com/
171 S Jackson St. http://goo.gl/maps/6uq4j
before the 6pm meeting, starting around 3:30pm.
If you are new to coworking in a coffee shop,
it is an informal gathering to work on individual projects,
to share tips, and to get help.

Dynamic MS document generation

Hi Group,

I've just created a sandbox project for creating dynamic MS document based off of word mail merge fields. If there is time at the end of tonight's presentation, I would love to present what I have thus far. I am only in Seattle till tomorrow night so this would be my only chance to present with this group. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Trevor
