TinyMCE

Will TinyMCE work on Phoenix?

https://apps.oscommerce.com/Fc1HV&advanced-tinymce

It looks like an easy change, I would want it in the catagories.php only to make better/nicer looking product descriptions.

@burt?

Since the admin is not going to change on a short term, I'm looking for a solition like this.

Yes, we have it installed - het's goed zo

Thanks!

I thought so, because the admin is not yet bootstrapped.....

Probably translating "It's OK" to Dutch "Het's goed zo" is not bad.

I understand. "Het's goed zo" is usually interpreted like "It's OK" or "I'm OK with it" in a means of "I no longer wish to discuss..." 🙂

 

Just installed it, and it gives a much better response that my currenr bootsrapped Frozen admin (no offence to anyone).

Your Dutch is probably mch better than my Cornwallish.......... Hahahaha

[Heatherbell]

Dank je wel! Veel geluk. It's a long time since I lived in Drenthe.

[burt]

I wonder if it could be done with zero core code changes...

Possible ?

[Heatherbell]

@burt The king of rhetorical questions!  It's definitely a good idea that I expect would be welcome by many - it's one of the first things we load up.

[burt]

What is it actually used for (in real life)?  

• product description
• maybe category description?

anything else ?

 

[René H4]

I sometimes use it for order updates, bolt figures for important thingy's, like tracking codes.

[burt]

I'm pretty sure it's possible with no core changes, in Phoenix. 

I think older versions of CE (and certainly all flavours of 2.3.4.1 and older) would need core code changes.

Who's going to have a go at a no core code change TinyMCE implementation ?

[puddlec]

Done a little bit of it.

Getting the code added to the admin.

Using the admin hook.

Just can't work out how to target specific textareas.(could only see name, no I'd or class)

Or would it be better to just include it in all textareas?

[burt]

Try; 

textarea[name^="products_description"]

it may work, I dont know.  I use something similar in a different admin thing I built.

it is possible with all as long it contain an identifier like a class or ID, or as in your example the name element.
The problem with the name element is that you must list them all, so the editor fires.

a wysiwyg is most used:
- products descriptions.
- categories descriptions.
- manufacturers descriptions.
 

Addons what let you edit:
- privacy.php.
- shipping.php.
- conditions.php.
- * other information pages.

No, that will ruin your SEO text fields.

[puddlec]

just managed it.

it only loads on the selected textareas e.g. product description and category description.

if using multiple languages, you would need to make a small edit to the file to use tinymce with those languages. 

due to how the name of each field works ( it includes a number)

 

[burt]

The code I posted should target all "product_description", regardless of the number in square brackets...

got it working,

for some reason all the other config i used ' and on that line i used "

[puddlec]

this is what i managed to achieve.  With my first attempt at using the hook system

i'll possibly tidy it up a bit on Sunday. and upload it as an addon

basically it just works just like the hooks on the shop side.

works on all category description, and product descriptions  textareas, regardless of how many languages you use.

in regards to the themes / plugins / toolbar you can just add / remove them as you see fit (the settings you see in the file are the ones i use myself)

it does with work the tinymce CDN (if you got an API KEY), loading locally, or via another CDN (using an CDNJS just to show it works),  you can use whatever source you want.

the same basic idea can also be used for ck editor, or any other javascript library you think you may need within the admin.

Ckeditor should be a better choice as it supports bootstrap tabs editing.

Ckeditor (or any other scripts) can be added into the admin using the same method that I used.

Not sure how ckeditor manages it but you can add in any external stylesheet into tinymce. Like I did with the bootstrap css

Excellent work @puddlec - loads of people will be very happy with this!

There is one small change I'd potentially make;  add in an array of good pages such like;

var $good_pages = ['categories.php', 'manufacturers.php'];

and then in the function, global $PHP_SELF and check it against the good_pages;

if (in_array(basename($PHP_SELF, $this->good_pages)) {
  ...
}

This will then load the scripts only on the pages that need them rather than on all pages.

And add textarea[name^="manufacturers_description"] to the selector (for manufacturer descriptions).

Note:  untested!

Thanks for that, I'll add it in.

[puddlec]

Update

So I now got it to load on the manufacturer description.

And it will only load on the pages where it is needed.
