editing

I took the time to rewrite the Wysiwyg (Editor) module into a generic API over the weekend. So the primary concerns about TinyMCE-specific code all over the module are eliminated now. Also, you might have noticed, that I have added an example integration for FCKeditor already - which of course is rather a proof of concept than a fully-fledged integration (and it works cleanly 8).

So Wysiwyg has become a real API finally.

I have spent the last hours to get a first draft of FCKeditor support in Wysiwyg Editor module.

It's still very rough and dirty, but it outlines what can be done and what needs to be done for multiple editor support in Drupal via one API module.

Now I badly need some feedback from folks that are interested in centralized Wysiwyg editor support, who know jQuery + JavaScript, and who might have ideas and suggestions on how to solve the outlined design challenges. Of course, all editor module maintainers are implicitly more than welcome.

Today I saw a presentation on a site that had small icons next to each editable field on a website. It truly was "dummy proof" and got me to thinking about how this could be done in Drupal. Could the jquery editable plugin be integrated to update drupal nodes?
