Feeding off TineMCE
Since the cat just brought a mouse into the house, I thought I should mention that TinyMCE over at MoxieCode now works with Safari version 1.3 (latest update)
Using a content management tool like ExpressionEngine is brilliant but even more so if you can get a bit of formatting in those entry boxes. I have implemented TinyMCE - a set of javascript routines that provides this functionality. Hitherto, I have been recommending FireFox, but now Safari on Mac also works because of the wonderful work reported by Dave Hyatt here
Addendum: It certainly displays the buttons but the formatting does NOT work. Back to FireFox and wait to see if this can be fixed,
furthermore...
So what is TinyMCE? You can read all about it over at MoxieCode. The reason I use it is this: When I build a system for people to enter content, I don't want to ask them to put any HTML in the fields. However, they do want to add some basic inline stuff like (em) or (strong). TinyMCE puts some little formatting icons beneath each of the form fields- a bit like a word processor. To implement the feature in ExpressionEngine, a modification needs to be made to the file - cp.display.php - to link the javascript code. There are various custom settings that can be made and when I am happy with what I have, I can share, the way that I have done this.Posted on 18 Apr around 7pm
