Redactor: suggestions, ideas for features to add, info on building plugins

"Is the HTML output of TinyMCE incompatible with the HTML CKEditor wants to see? Once the HTML is saved, it's just standard HTML right?" It may work fine, but redactor does inse…

I don't have a problem with that but I do see some medium to long term maintenance issues with having 2 very different RTEs in the same site. That would affect both the system c…

Great, we seem to have some common ground. As a start though, I'd rate redactor as 1/10, TinyMCE as 6/10 and CKEditor as 8.5/10, so your proof of concept is going in the right d…

You are absolutely right - our needs are different. We have a range of clients; at one end of the scale who sells a large range (100s) of industrial equipment and materials who …

To that list I'd add the list from MrKDilkington that opened this thread. But I think you are totally missing the point. A content block is a free-format block, i.e. it's there …

Here here. I'm really trying to like 5.7 but 9 months and 12 version releases we still have a totally inadequate rich text editor (RTE). I can't help but feel that the sterling e…

Edit bar gone missing on some PCs

Hi, I have a strange problem with the edit bar. We built a site for a client on c5-6.2 who has been using it and editing content for months. He uses Firefox & IE on Windows 8 at …

Redactor: suggestions, ideas for features to add, info on building plugins

@virtualgt's solution to pasting preformatted content is certainly workable but the suggestion that we get content editors to develop their pages in some other WYSIWYG editor then …

@mhawke It's a blight for all of us to have to sort out the clients' HTML produced by an editor whether it be redactor or tinymce. I invariably end up copying out into a desktop…

Very good - that makes 15 redactor plugins available! In another couple of years it might have the same capability as Tiny. Now we need only another 250 plugins to give redactor…

Thanks Mr K, My mistake about floating images - I've looked at Redactor several times since it was introduced and never found that function. But that doesn't change my view that…

Really HATE Redactor. It may be lean and fast and have a modern looking toolbar but it simply does not have the functionality that should be there for a CMS where editors need t…

Hi, I've built a couple of sites with c5 (v5.6) and it's really easy and now I am trying to create some new blocks for special functions. I've got the general idea but I can't w…

Modifying a theme - no image, name or description in dashboard

Yes, That should do it. Thanks again

OK, I get the gist, thanks I've just put the theme folder into themes and that much works. It looks, from your comment, as though I also need to put the blocks and the helpers f…
