Jörn,
I just read through your quick HowTo for adding an editor to Lenya. I am
still in the process of learning about both Lenya and Cocoon and have
found the available editors to be inappropriate for my needs. I would
particularly like to edit arbitrary XML in a visual but structured way.
oh yes. many of us would like to do that :-D
it's definitely non-trivial.
I have found the editor I need but I am not sure how to integrate it
into Lenya. Can you help me? The editor is an abandoned project on
Sourceforge...it's called xmlwebgui (http://xmlwebgui.sourceforge.net/).
It's Javascript but it interacts with a servlet.
funny. iiuc the author is a cocoon committer, so it might not be too far
away from lenya's way of doing things.
another alternative is an editor that thomas comiotto is working on, but
i don't know when it will be available for general use - thomas, if you
read this: care to chime in?
If you have some time can you take a look at it and maybe give me some
ideas as to how I can integrate this editor?
i don't have time to download it atm, but the basic idea is simple (as
outlined in http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/GenericEditorAPI)...
did you succeed in getting a static page to include a functional editor
(without saving to the server)? then all you need to do is move it into
a pipeline and intercept the "save" event (which should be configurable
in any cross-platform editor). steal the code from the editors or
tinymce or fckeditor module. i'll be happy to help if you have more
detailed questions.
