Hi all (Cross posted because relevant to both newsgroups)
I'm guessing that some people on this list use the Tiny MCE WYSIWYG editor (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/) - it's OSS, it's cross platform and works really well. Moxiecode have a number of 'compressors' which gather up all the (non-image) files you need for your required configuration of the editor, and sends them out in a single JS file, optionally with GZIP compression, which greatly speeds up the loading of the editor. But it was only available in PHP/.NET/JSP/ColdFusion and a separate port to Ruby. So.... I rewrote the PHP compressor in Perl yesterday, tested in Firefox 2.0 with version 2.1.0 of the editor, and it works a treat. It will run under CGI or under mod_perl. It should run under Windows or Macs, but I haven't tested it. Download it here: http://www.iannounce.co.uk/tinymce_compressor_perl_1_0_0.tgz I'm not sure why the Ruby version is maintained separately from the other versions, and I haven't heard back from Moxiecode yet, so I'm not sure where this will live permanently. If anybody has any ideas about that, or any bug fixes etc, please let me know. To use it, you need to - install : File::Spec, Digest::MD5 and Compress::Zlib - untar tinymce_compressor_perl_1_0_0.tgz in the tinymce directory - create the directory 'cache' in the tiny_mce dir, and make it writable by apache - set up your webserver to serve tiny_mce_gzip.pl as a CGI script or using mod_perl (example in the README) If you find any issues or can suggest any improvements (for instance, a better example of using it with mod_perl?), please send them to me - I'll be happy to fix them.
