Hi Fady,
So far we haven't written a demo of the WYSIWYG editor outside of XWiki
but it shouldn't be hard to write one:
* Create a demo GWT-Maven project
* Add a dependency on xwiki-web-gwt-wysiwyg-client (
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/web/trunk/xwiki-gwt-wysiwyg-cli…
)
* Inherit the WYSIWYG GWT module in your own GWT module descriptor
** Use the same entry point as the WYSIWYG GWT module, which publishes a
JavaScript API you can use to instantiate the editor, or
** Use your own entry point and instantiate the editor in GWT code
The only limitation is that you won't be able to use the
"switch-to-source" feature (i.e. the tabbed version of the editor) and
XWiki-specific plugins (link, image, macro and importer) unless you
implement the GWR-RPC services currently implemented in
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/web/trunk/xwiki-gwt-wysiwyg-ser…
.
If you choose to use the same entry point, the JavaScript API that is
being publish is described at
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Modules/WysiwygEditorModule#HWysiwygEd…
. You can find the configuration parameters at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/WysiwygEditor#HConfigur…
. Note that we have written a custom GWT script loader (
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/web/trunk/xwiki-gwt-wysiwyg-cli…
) which allows us to write:
Wysiwyg.onModuleLoad(function() {
// code here
});
This way we know for sure that when we try to create a new WYSIWYG
editor the GWT module was loaded. The easiest way to create the editor
without the special loader is to use a button and to place the code on
click.
Hope this helps,
Marius

I'm aiming to run the wysiwyg component as a
standalone GWT for a number of
reasons:
1. To be able to test the component without it being hooked up to XWiki
2. To be able to expand it or add more features to it as required.
I would like to get all the possible assistance in achieving that task so I
can share it with others and probably update the documentation if it's
beneficial to others.
Cheers,
Fady
