Wolfi, I fixed the bugs you reported, I hope. Please download the latest copy. This version will create files when needed so it should not have any more missing files error. Also contents will be added if the sections or pages contains no contents so all pages should be editable. Let me know if you found any more bugs.

I will try to see if it is possible to incorporate a different editor into the CMS. I'll keep you posted.

Great Tom, works like a charm. Now the markup editor, if it's possible, and we're done!

Love it BakieBakieBakieBakieBakie!

Thanks Wolfi. Bakie

I just added your latest design (wfiedler_91) into the theme list and I realize that we have one potential problem on our hands which is managing the page listing. You know not everyone will use the designs with the same number of pages and with the same name. So it is important to allow the users to able to reconfigure the page listing with some simple procedure. Right now this is done manually by updating one template at a time. So if we were to convert all your designs into themes, the users will have to update 91 templates if there were changes to their listing.

I'll look for a solution. Let me know if you or Robbie got some ideas.

I'm still looking around for a way to incorporate different editors into the CMS.

I'm trying to keep the way Robbie set up the page so I use NicEdit but having trouble adding a Save button for saving the content. Anyone knows how?

Here is my test site:

Make sure you select wfielder_91 theme.

Tom – personally I don't prefer these WYSIWYG editors. They usually mess up the code and the code don't validate.

Also NicEdit. And the development of NicEdit stopped a while ago.

Isn't it possible to use the simple markup editor I suggested here: http://wfiedler-online.de/edit…..ditor.html ?

Simple markup editors also teach users how to create basic (X)HTML code.

Isn't it possible to let such an editor appear after, when you click in the editable area?

When I look at the editInplace.js there is a textarea created, when you click in the editable area. I just don't have an idea how to incorporate an editor. I'm not such a good programmer like you.

Just my opinion and my suggestions.


BTW: Have a look at this Edit In Place Plugin:

Seems more flexible.


Keep up the great work and enjoy your weekend.

Your editor is nice but I'm not making an attempt in using it for the CMS yet. The main reason is I want to maintain Robbie CMS's multiple editable sections feature. As you know, you can change any contents by just clicking on the editable area of the page. If we can configure your CMS to do that then we can give it a try to implementing it.

When I look at the editInplace.js there is a textarea created, when you click in the editable area. I just don't have an idea how to incorporate an editor. I'm not such a good programmer like you.

I incorporated NicEdit but as I noted I can't save the content after finishing editing.

BTW: Have a look at this Edit In Place Plugin:

jeditable

Seems more flexible.

It is pretty much the same as the one the CMS is currently using.


I'll continue do more searches and see if I can find one that will do the job. I agree using the markup editor is better so I'll only looking for those unless I can find one that can do both (markup and wysiwyg).

Hey guys, nice to see you're putting some work into this. I've been relaxing for a while and I'm pretty much back to do some work.

As far as I understand you guys are tying to make (find) an WYSIWYG editor that would validate and actually work with saving files?

I'll see if I can figure out something.


P.S. The WonderCMS reached a couple hundred downloads. :)

Here are the latest changes I made:

1.     Incorporated Wolfram’s Markup editor while maintaining the Inline editor as well.

2.     Implemented a Menu Items function. Now you can add/delete/move pages without updating the  templates.

You can try it out at my development site or download it into your own site. Let me know if you have any questions.

Tom, I noticed, that the markup editor works only with template wfiedler_91. With the other templates you can only edit page 1 (Home),  but not the other ones.

When logged in I see in the source code of the default template this:

<input type='hidden' name='fieldname' value='11';
Hasn't it to be:

<input type='hidden' name='fieldname' value='11' />

  Still no chance to avoid the automatically set break tag?
 PS: Please use this markup.css for the editor, otherwise the admin section looks strange.

And BTW the CMS is great for showing clients different designs.
