[xwiki-devs] Blog 2.0 Upgrade and WYSIWYG
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. Any way to reintroduce that SWITCH EDITOR icon onto the 2.0 Toolbar? Cheers Andreas Schaefer CEO of Madplanet.com Inc.

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.

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. Thanks, Marius

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?

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

Right now the "compact" mode is activated by default when editing in-line. The "full" mode is activated when editing a regular page. A blog article is edited in-line so the "compact" mode is activated. There's no custom editor configuration for the blog application. We can have one but I don't think it's a good idea.
do compared to the normal mode? Is it only the removal of the tabs?
Right now yes, but the "full" flag can be used to drop other features in "compact" mode if we wish to. It's not a "displayTabs" flag only.
- shouldn't we have a switch button in compact mode?
Switch to full mode? I'm not sure. The tool bar is a place for tools so it's not the right place IMO for this button. It's hard (if not impossible) to define the "compact" mode and I think most of the users will switch to "full" mode from the start because some feature that they like it's no included in the "compact" mode. Showing the most used features by the current user in "compact" mode would be good but it's not easy to do.

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).
The tabs were part of the UI design proposal ( http://tinyurl.com/n5z42l ) which we voted.

No, we haven't decided. Thanks, Marius

Switch to full mode?
I meant switch to source view. BTW we need to conclude on the fact that we still have 2 text editors which is bad. And they're even different. -Vincent

Well, I tried this and it works to some degree but for example Links were lost when switching to the Source tab. Cheers - Andy On Wednesday, July 15, 2009, at 11:43PM, "Marius Dumitru Florea" <[email protected]> wrote:

This is a bug that was fixed in 2.0M2 AFAIK. Thanks -Vincent
