Hello everyone, I'm getting ready to ship v6.8.0, soon after the holidays are all cleared away. I was working today on the new versions of CKeditor and TinyMCE that ship with Dada Mail. One of the things I made sure was that dragging/dropping an image into the editor works well with Dada Mail. It now, does! Another thing I'm playing with is to have a way to insert Dada Mail's template tags into the editor, rather than requiring you to type them in yourself. Got to a nice proof of concept, that you can check out: ...Continue Reading

Hello Everyone, v6.8.0 Beta 2 has been released! Download/Install: http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-6_8_0-beta2/install_dada_mail.pod.html This release features updates to the included CKEditor and TinyMCE. We move from v3 to v4 (basically the latest-ish version) of both. KCFinder and the new File Manager will work pretty darn well with either - give it a spin to verify all the banging-of-my-head to make this happen ;) The creaky old FCKeditor, has been removed fully - you may notice the download ...Continue Reading

FileManager will be using Dada Mail's own session-based system, KCFinder uses a php-style session based system that Dada Mail reads and tries to interpret, as DM is written in Perl, not PHP. ...Continue Reading

Thanks for the TinyMCE demo link. I checked it out and I like it much better than CKeditor. The MoxieManager file manager is nice, but I realize that will not be an option. I'll check out the FileManager. Is there a demo of that anywhere? Is there any difference in the security between FileManager and KCFinder, specifically in allowing hackers to upload files to the server? The missing picture handles in CKeditor seems to be related to the Chrome browser. In MSIE and Firefox, the handles are there and work as th ...Continue Reading

Hmm - when I place an image in the editor, I see those handles - they seem to work pre ...Continue Reading

It's more the interface, than the functionality, that I struggle with. To change the size of a picture, you need to right-click and go to the properties and specify your best guess for a new width and height. It doesn't maintain the aspect ratio when one dimension is changed. If the image had handles in the corners, it would be much more intuitive. Sometimes, after my text is all entered, it says I don't have permission to browse the server's images, or to upload new images, even though I am the administrator. I ...Continue Reading

If you want to try out TinyMCE, here's a demo: http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php The, Insert Image button is on the far right of the toolbar - looks like a mountain/sun. It's pretty standard stuff - doesn't really stray too far off from what TinyMCE had in 3.x or CKeditor has now. The file manager that pops up is called, "MoxieManager" - http://www.moxiemanager.com/ It has a non-free license, so it's not something I'm going to support, for the time being. Pretty nice, though. ...Continue Reading

Hi Justin, Can you describe what kinds of picture handling capabilities Tiny MCE has? The ckeditor is pretty much limited to just changing the size, border and justification. I can't even get the image handles to respond and the image upload process is awkward. I don't want a full desktop publisher, but a more standard image handler would be welcome.

Hello everyone, I was playing around with getting the new FileManager working on all the supported WYSIWYG editors, but TinyMCE just wasn't wanting to play along. Noticed that there's a fancy new version out of Tiny MCE, and it seems pretty easy to implement in Dada Mail, so here I am, doing just that! All these different editors have their strengths and weaknesses - I didn't know if there's anything in TinyMCE 4 you'd hope/expect to see, when integrated in Dada Mail: plugins or abilities enabled by default - but d ...Continue Reading
