input format

^KEKJIR:  node  ^KEKH8E:  main-post  (updated 20090205145702):

Collecting discussions and patches for a better input format support in Drupal 7. My battle plan writeup is at http://hojtsy.hu/blog/2008-feb-04/supporting-wysiwyg-editing-better-drup... and there are groups post here about cutting through the format clutter (http://groups.drupal.org/node/8911) and format association observations (http://groups.drupal.org/node/9072). This list summarizes the patches in different states to improve input formats and support RTEs better.

• For review:
  • http://drupal.org/node/125315 - Add the #input_format Form API construct, so that additional form fields are not required, and metadata is captured for WYSIWYG editors and form altering in general
  • http://drupal.org/node/110242 - Make filter access first class permissions
  • http://drupal.org/node/240873 - Move custom help settings to blocks
• TODO:
  • http://groups.drupal.org/node/8911 - Limit available input filters by "type of widget" used (node type body, comment, block, etc)
  • http://groups.drupal.org/node/9072 - Bring consistency into how we apply formats and provide more format support where it is missing.
  • Move site mission and footer message to blocks / new block regions (in part to add format support).
• Done:
  • http://drupal.org/node/222183 - Make input formats reorderable (committed!)
  • http://drupal.org/node/240988 - Break out HTML escaping filter to make non-HTML input formats (instantly) recognizable (committed)
