XMLArea extension development

Saturday 08 January 2005 3:07:07 am

Switching it on/off doesn't seem to work without clearing caches (interestingly, it doesn't seem to work at all if view caching is deactivated) for me either.

Another thing I'd really like is to set a default (i.e. active) as most users will simply be very confused if there's HTML in the field. Or maybe even force them use one or another?

Otherwise it's a very fine extension. Thanks!

Nested list is supported in eZ publish 3.5 series. this is the patch:

Personally I'd say fixing the caching is by far the most important one. After all, if you can't activate it, what good is fixing other bugs....

Hi STEVO,

The #1 reason why I haven't implemented your extension yet, is that it seems to add to URIs in links each time an xmlarea is edited.

i've looked into the on/off bug + it's the same as this:

http://ez.no/community/forum/general/ezpreferences_in_login_tpl_need_a_cache_block

it uses an ezpreference which isn't being changed until the user logs out or the object is published. i'm fairly sure that i hadn't noticed this before because i've just recently upgraded to the stable 3.5.0 + it worked previously with rc2. it still works on my website which i haven't upgraded yet, tsk, tsk. any ideas?

i've added a temporarily fix in pubsvn rev. 506. the only updated file is:

http://pubsvn.ez.no/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=community&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fextension%2Fxmlarea%2Fdesign%2Fstandard%2Ftemplates%2Fcontent%2Fdatatype%2Fedit%2Fezxmltext.tpl&rev=0&sc=1

this removes the on/off user preference altogether.

ideally i'd like to do it the online editor way with a submit button so no input is lost when switching editors but i've no idea how to add custom http content/actions in an extension.

Hi STEVO,

Let me elaborate on how the problem occurs:

1. Create a link in the xmlarea using an URI as the href, for instance "/products".
2. Send the object for publishing.
3. Re-enter the object in edit mode, and modify the link.

The URI has now been changed to "/index.php/corporate_admin/products".

If I repeat step 2 and 3, the URI changes to "/index.php/corporate_admin/index.php/corporate_admin/products" and so on.

cheers for the patch, liu. could you report the bug?

fixed the url bug in pubsvn rev 507. me being daft again.

xmlarea/design/standard/templates/xmlarea/ezxmltags/link.tpl:

<a href="{$href}" {section show=$target}target="{$target}"{/section}>{$content}</a>

nice idea eirik, i was thinking much the same meself. it'll have to wait a bit though. btw, what happened to them proposal specs one of which related to a new link + object syntax?

pubsvn rev 513 has literals working properly, a special characters button + inserted object attributes saved correctly.

i'm going to improve the custom tag handling a bit then get on with the javascript + css issues 'specially with ie. anything else?

Just found a bug:
when I edit the Features list in http://www.scim-im.org/projects/skim
the latest xmlarea, all the item are empty, and the sub list items are missing.
