[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Remove TinyMCE files from the XWiki WAR
Hi devs, Here’s what I commented on https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/307 : “ Thanks Pascal. I've just noticed that we still bundle TinyMCE in XWiki's WAR. It was probably left for backward compatibility but since it's been like 6-7 years that we've dropped it, I believe we could vote about dropping it from our sources and if someone really needs it they'll still be able to manually install them in their wikis. I'll follow up on the devs list, thanks. “ WDYT? Are you ok to remove it? Thanks -Vincent

I'm not best to judge but my gut feeling is our TinyMCE implementation is not being used so +1 in principle. Thanks, Caleb On 07/29/2014 02:26 PM, [email protected] wrote:

+1 from me. It is still being used as the WYSIWYG editor of documents in the xwiki/1.0 syntax, also as the WYSIWYG editor used for textarea fields displayed by a sheet for 1.0 documents. That could mean a lot of content created by old applications, and a lot of long-lived wikis migrated from 1.x XWiki instances. Do we want to keep the buggy WYSIWYG editor for those, or do we want to give them another push to migrate the documents as well? On 07/29/2014 07:25 AM, [email protected] wrote:

Good point, I had forgotten it’s still used by xwiki/1.0 syntax. BTW, even though we don’t have docs in xwiki/1.0 syntax anymore in XE we still have some in platform: - xwiki-platform-application-manager-ui - xwiki-platform-repository-server-ui I’m still +1 to remove TinyMCE and add explanations on how to add it to your instance if you need it. What do others think? Thanks -Vincent

My personal opinion is that it's OK to save a bit of time and remove the code entirely, the retro-compat documentation would in this case be "if you use syntax/1.0, you now need to edit it using the wikitext editor". It's not as if their data will nolonger be accessible. Thanks, Caleb On 07/30/2014 11:32 PM, [email protected] wrote:

It's been more than 1 year since we started this thread and we still have the TinyMCE editor bundled in the XWiki WAR. I just created a branch to remove it https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/compare/remove-tinymce-editor . Note that besides the files located in resources/js/xwiki/wysiwyg/tinymce/* there are many other files (Velocity templates, JavaScript code, CSS styles in the skin, Java test page objects) that reference the TinyMCE editor and which had to be updated (see the branch). This makes the creation of a "TinyMCE Editor" extension that can be installed, even manually, pretty hard. I'm in favour of simply removing the TinyMCE files and its references (see the branch). For the XWiki 1.0 documents, there will be an automatic redirect to the Wiki editor. So we simply say that we don't provide a WYSIWYG editor for the XWiki 1.0 syntax any more. WDYT?

I think we should wait 1 more month and do this cleanup in 8.0. +1 to say we don’t provide a XWiki 1.0 WYSIWYG editor any more for 8.0. -1 for doing this in 7.4 (seems too risky for little user benefit). Thanks -Vincent

+1 and yes 8.0 branch is not very far so we should probably wait
Great that you finally worked on this :)
Note that in the same subject old rendering engine is planned from deprecation and contrib move in 8.0 too.

This makes the creation of a "TinyMCE Editor" extension that can be installed, even manually, pretty hard. I'm in favour of simply removing the TinyMCE files and its references (see the branch). For the XWiki 1.0 documents, there will be an automatic redirect to the Wiki editor. So we simply say that we don't provide a WYSIWYG editor for the XWiki 1.0 syntax any more.
WDYT?
I think we should wait 1 more month and do this cleanup in 8.0.
+1 to say we don’t provide a XWiki 1.0 WYSIWYG editor any more for 8.0.
-1 for doing this in 7.4 (seems too risky for little user benefit).
Thanks -Vincent
Thanks, Marius

Hi devs,
Here’s what I commented on https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/307 :
“ Thanks Pascal. I've just noticed that we still bundle TinyMCE in XWiki's WAR. It was probably left for backward compatibility but since it's been like 6-7 years that we've dropped it, I believe we could vote about dropping it from our sources and if someone really needs it they'll still be able to manually install them in their wikis. I'll follow up on the devs list, thanks. “
WDYT? Are you ok to remove it?
Thanks -Vincent
