rte (rich text editor) package deployed by fastblogit.com

About: Cross-Browser Rich Text Editor

Rights: " .... supplied later ... "
Components:

richtext.js - this contains the javascript that controls the rte box at fastblogit - it has been extensively modified from the original
.....

This is supported by a form : DevinRoth.com forums my access is 1180

His blog is: here.. who ever heard of a bolg with no ability to comment ... seems like a contradiction in terms to me.

This is not a discussion node. It is to document this software component that is being used for the rte.

Progress report: mrbrdo's revised rte (quoted in a comment below) has been installed and tested in ../add/index2.html. So far it is working to eliminate the extra click on file upload. Continueing to try the styling do-cy-do.

Re the licencing of the second module that i dont know if i need or not:

NOTICE:

HTML2XHTML License:
Free for non-commercial using. Please contact author for commercial licenses.
------------------------------------------
If you use this (the xhtml export) in your commerical applications you must pay the author of the class a license fee.
See the html2xhtml.js file for more details. Upon past research you can pay a one time fee for all your releases. I wasn't able to
determine how much this ran.

You can shut off the xhtml export by setting the genXHTML attribute to false:
//Usage: initRTE(imagesPath, includesPath, cssFile, genXHTML)
initRTE("images/", "", "", false);

Found this on the forum here.

From forum: RSS Styles

This has been installed on our server under new_rte

Sure..

The archive contains a modified version which contains css support besides the image uploading script. But it's done a bit dirty, cause IE or Mozilla didn't seem to recognise <whatever class="class"> in the editor (it didn't change the text correctly), but it did recognise style="whatever here", so that's what you see in source code. So if you want to use css styles these are my notes:

- styles are read from user.css, and in that file each has to be in one line like this:
.style1 { bgcolor: #000000; other: ...; }

- when giving text to the editor (in the writeRichText function) that contains css classes (like class="class"), you have to call the function "editorCorrectClassesForRead" in the same way you call rteSafe (check the examples in the original (!) rte editor download).. you need to call both functions) from MrBrdo.php (btw you can rename and put this file wherever you want or copy the code to another file, you just have to set the path to user.css in the code then) else the classes won't be recognised

- if you want to replace the style="..." with class="the_right_class" (you probably want that when you get the content that was inputed into the editor and want to display it or save it somewhere), you call "editorCorrectClassesForWrite" from MrBrdo.php

- also, the file is now richtext.php and not richtext.js (so watch that when you put in the html)..

If you only want the image uploading support, only copy the following files from the archive:
insert_image.htm
image_upload.php

You have to edit image_upload.php and insert the right paths (like the local folder for the images on the server and what the url in <img src=.. will be). Also note one thing.. I couldn't get it to work if the script doesn't know how the editor control is named (you name it in the writeRichText function in the html you use it), so you have to set it in image_upload.php.. It will not work for editors that are not named that way (so that can be a problem if you want multiple editors on the same page).

If you have any questions ask or if you found a problem tell me.. I hope the explanation was ok..

you can find the archive here: http://www.mrbrdo.net/my_rte.rar
