Hi Reinier,
http://wiki.hippo.nl/display/CMS/Overriding+core+CMS+code should be the
way to go in this case. But you are probably trying to use the Xinha
trunk. Beware that the current Xinha trunk/release has refactored it's
core and the current JavaScript API( which is used inside the CMS)
probably won't work anymore if you change it to Xinha trunk. The current
Xinha is now located in called XinhaCore.js or something similar and the
HTMLArea object, which previously existed, does not exist anymore in the
new Xinha code and is replaced with the Xinha object.
Hi,
I have a couple of questions about Xinha:
Q1:
I would like to add some plugins to Xinha that don't come standard
with the Hippo editor (eg. definition lists).
And fiddle with/replace some that are standard (because they don't
place themselves correctly on the toolbar).
I was hoping to be able to add the plugins somewhere down my
extensions folder and tell Xinha to look there, but haven't found a
way to do this.
Any suggestions?
Sure you can create your own Xinha plugins. I've done it in multiple
occasions.
Try adding this function to your extended htmlarea.js (which is
referenced in the <lib> tag in your BE templates.
HTMLArea.loadExternalPlugin = function(pluginPath, pluginName, callback) {
// Might already be loaded
if(eval('typeof ' + pluginName) != 'undefined')
{
if(callback)
{
callback(pluginName);
}
return true;
}
var plugin = pluginName.replace(/([a-z])([A-Z])([a-z])/g,
function (str, l1, l2, l3) {
return l1 + "-" + l2.toLowerCase() + l3;
}).toLowerCase() + ".js";
var plugin_file = pluginPath + "/" + pluginName + "/" + plugin;
if(callback)
{
HTMLArea._loadback(plugin_file, function() { callback(pluginName); });
}
else
{
document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='" + plugin_file
+ "'></script>");
}
return false;
};
Now you should be able to say something like (where Expander is the name
of your plugin):
HTMLArea.loadExternalPlugin("/extensions/xinha/plugins", "Expander");
Q2.
Looking through the Xinha docs I don't see any reference to the type
of HTML it generates:
XHTML, HTML 4.01, or some older version.
It looks like it is XHTML. If so, is there a way to tell it to
generate HTML 4.01?
Xinha itself creates some HTML, which is not always very well formatted.
Therefor we have use the HTMLCleaner. In the new version of the CMS, you
can choose between XHTML strict and transitional. It will allways
generate valid XHTML if you use the HTMLCleaner.
Q3.
I noticed some keyboard shortcuts are defined for Xinha (<ctrl-1>
for H1, etc).
They have apparently nothing to do with the plugin that allows
changes like that from the toolbar.
So is there a way to disable these boys?
(I don't want to allow content editor anything but entering plain
text, lists, emphasis etc.)
Yes, you should be able to create your own Xinha plugin for this. You
can then catch the key events.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Reinier van den Born
