Hi Eduard,
I haven't installed your example yet, but maybe it is a good idea to integrat it with the edittag. It's just like the second implementation of the edittag i was thinking about working on. It is in cvs speeltuin/andre/edittag for some time now, but i will upload my latest updates (f.e. made EditTag an interface) shortly.

Hello all,
I have always thought that adding wysiwyg editors could be a good point for MMBase and for this reason i've been hacking this weekend. I have created a servlet which can put an EXISTING taglib page into edit mode and further do nothing yet (since it is only a prototype)
First of all i hope that we(MMBase) is willing to support such functionalities(i know the reasons why we shouldnt;) ), secondly i would like to have some response on my prototype.
Notice that this is a prototype and i dont want it to be part of MMBase in it's current design (i've written better code ;) ), but it can be found at the following location: http://nergens.org/projects/mmbase-tablib-wysiwyg/
I dont have a demo, since i dont have MMBase running on a websserver :D
Below is the text of the readme:
WYSIWYG Editors in MMBase taglibs
=================================
Goal: To make it possible to turn taglib pages in edit mode. This edit mode
will have the functionality to change all the visible text in the page. It
could change the layout of the page in a way, but this is a consession which
must be taken so that 95% of the pages can quickly be changed.
A direct next project could be the detection of lists, and make the possiblity
to add a new node to the list in the page.
About ===== This is a prototype, to test the idea of inline wysiwyg editors for existing pages in MMBase. This servlet will generate editable pages for every taglib page that is retrieved under a certain url.
Installation:
=============
1) Add the source files to the code and makesure that the resource url in the file
WysiwygTaglibEditor.java is correct (i couldnt get the resources working)
2) Place the following code in the web.xml <!-- The MMBase attachment serving servlet. --> <servlet> <servlet-name>taglib-wysiwyg-edit</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.mmbase.bridge.jsp.taglib.wysiwyg.WysiwygTaglibEditor</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>4</load-on-startup> </servlet> <!-- mapping for taglib-wysiwyg --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>taglib-wysiwyg-edit</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/mmbase/edit/taglib-wysiwyg/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
3) Retrieve the taglib pages under the new edit url:
%mmbase-url%/mmbase/edit/taglib-wysiwyg/%page% instead of %mmbase-url%/%page%
(http://localhost:8084/html/mmbase/edit/taglib-wysiwyg/mmexamples/taglib/ instead of http://localhost:8084/html/mmexamples/taglib/)
Todo's
=============
1) Dont handle all pages in the servlet, only jsp pages, others should simply give though the data
2) Research if it is possible to do some servlet forwarding
3) Modify javascript in the following way:
- toggeling normal->edit mode will put original value in array
- toggeling edit->normal will add the new value also to the array
- save will only send the value that was changed
4) Try to use dove for storing the data into the database
5) Smarter replacement code in the servlet
6) In node detection, when a taglib was placed inside a html node, then there should be other
/ no replacement for that field.
7) Create better div to replace the current div
PS: Or was the mssql / oracle implementation more urgent :D.
I think i've spend now again too much time on mmbase for the moment so i will not be able to do a lot in the next weeks, but please do react!
