Hi
I think I am close having finished the Blog Upgrade to 2.0 Syntax. The only major issue I have is that if i have WYSIWYG as the default editor I cannot switch the editor because in the 2.0 WYSIWYG toolbar there is no SWITCH EDITOR icon.
This seems to be the default behavior in 2.0 which is fine for regular pages but in the Blog this is not working out because there is no way the user can switch between the editors because there is no 'Choose editor' panel.
If you edit a regular 2.0 wiki page you'll notice the WYSIWYG editor has two tabs above the tool bar and the menu bar ( http://tinyurl.com/lenva6 ) . The "Source" tab allows you to edit the wiki syntax so it's similar to the "Switch Editor" tool bar button from the old editor. You can make the tabs appear when editing blog articles by editing templates/textarea_wysiwyg.vm and replace
#wysiwyg_editProperties($tdoc $editors false)
with
#wysiwyg_editProperties($tdoc $editors true)
This will load the full editor, instead of the compact one.
The questions are: - do we want compact mode for the blog? BTW what does the compact mode do compared to the normal mode? Is it only the removal of the tabs? - shouldn't we have a switch button in compact mode?
Any way to reintroduce that SWITCH EDITOR icon onto the 2.0 Toolbar?
Right now you cannot replace the "Source" tab with a tool bar button. You should make a feature request in JIRA. I tend to prefer a tool bar button since the tool bar is configurable ( http://tinyurl.com/ mb2hd8 ) but the tabbed interface was been voted iirc.
I don't think it was ever voted. At least I remember Sergiu and I didn't agree with it (at least not the way it's done as part of the editor). Also I don't think we ever decided not to have a switch button in compact mode, did we? Thanks -Vincent
