Hello.
After reading a post here about the Ritchedit plugin using a very very old version of tinymce, i would like to ask if there is some newer alternative i can use?
We do have some formating issues with Ritchedit and maybe it is due to that so old version used.
Thank you
There is no (free) alternative to Ritchedit plugin.
There was some Jquery editor plugin but never worked right and the developer is no longer available.
BUT let me check for a POSSIBLE solution for you, i remember we have done some internal update to that plugin.
This is an "internal" small update we did. Update TinyMCE of Ritchedit plugin, from 3.4.6 (2011) to 3.5.11 (2014-05-08).
This is as far as you can go without breaking things.
First upload/edit and replace the file "rich_edit.js in Ritchedit plugin root with this:
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "none",
theme : richedit.theme,
skin: richedit.skin,
width: richedit.width,
height: richedit.height,
skin_variant : richedit.skin_variant,
theme_advanced_buttons1 : richedit.theme_advanced_buttons1,
theme_advanced_buttons2 : richedit.theme_advanced_buttons2,
theme_advanced_buttons3 : richedit.theme_advanced_buttons3,
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
extended_valid_elements : "a[href|target=_blank|rel=nofollow]",
apply_source_formatting : false,
forced_root_block : '',
force_br_newlines : false,
force_p_newlines : false,
plugins : richedit.plugins
});
$(document).ready(function () {
$("textarea[id^=description]").each(function(){
tinyMCE.execCommand("mceAddControl", true, this.id);
});
});
Then upload/replace (via ftp apparently) the folder "tiny_mce" of Ritchedit plugin with the attached file that contains "tiny_mce" 3.5.11 folder.
Please do a backup of everything and also please do not hold us responsible for ANY issues or errors. Use it at your own risk.
For anyone interested to make 100% manually the update, here comes the full (from tinynce archive) TinyMCE 3.5.11.
Just be CAREFUL, the root folder is NOT what it contains the script. The update is in JSCRIPTS directory.
Also if you have any mods or plugins added, you should keep an update of the old folder and redo the mods.
Thanks but all that seems very complicated to me.
Can you provide here a zip with the update plugin? I would very much appreciate it and it would be easy to install and test.
Sure, here it comes. With 3.5.11 (2014-05-08) of TinyMCE, also added to open all posted links to a new window and also the Autolink TinyMCE plugin.
Let us know how good or bad works for you !!!
