We are working on a version 2.0 of the online editor, which will be released with the 3.5 release. It will get support for Mozilla, plus some other new improvements.

Great news Aleksander!

Looking forward to it.

Also any details as to what browsers will be supported? Are we talking about all mozilla based browsers?
Any hints as to what "new improvements" may entail?

Cheers
Bruce

Aleksander,

I know the folks who use Opera are wondering if they will get some screen time (oe support) in the next release?

Cheers,

Hi,

The new OE should support IE, mozilla 1.3 or up and netscape 7.x. For none-IE browsers, it depends on whether or not the browser has midas API installed. As far as I know, Opera does not has it.

The main new improments will be simplifing the process to add images and supporting nested list.

Best regards,
wenyue

While I could not create tables in the demo for netpointers with mozilla 1.7.2, the cross-browser support is very good news indeed.

This is great news.
When will the first test be available. The editor is a key element for users so we will need to do plenty of testing.
Also can you confirm that if we pruchased a yearly license for the editor v2.x will be covered by that license.

Yes, you will be able to upgrade to all new versions of the OE in the period you have a valid upgrade, also for new 2.x version of OE. So if you buy OE now with the 1 year upgrade, then v2.0 is included.

Hello,

There is a great editor at www.xstandard.com. It is not cross browser compatible but I think it demonstrates a few good concepts. One I particuarly like is that is doesn't support bold, italic and underline for example but instead allows setting up of custom stylsheet rules. I think this makes it more difficult for the user to stray from site conventions.

It also allows one to set up complete HTML code snippets for inserting, for example an author profile pulled from the database. This allows the user to build up complex visual pages whilst conforming to set site design styles.

Regards,

Ed.

I checked this too...

That one didn't look very good to me. Nothing I could recommend I guess.

Just had a cold feeling... the new editor will run on Firefox on the Linux OS; right? It's not a Windows only thing.

Just checking, you know paranoid and all that :)

I'm going to second the request that it work with Firefox. While I use it on Windows, we have some people on Macs who I want to transition to Firefox. We haven't purchased the OE in the past specifically because of the Win/IE requirements, but we could really benefit from the investment if it will work on Macs and with Firefox.

Hi,

The new OE will work on Linux as long as you have mozilla 1.3 or netscape 7.x. We haven't tested it on Mac yet. Either you are using IE or mozilla, the UI and functionality will be almost the same ( We have to remove search button on mozilla since IE has a ready to use function while mozilla does not ). The table editing in mozilla will be the same or better than IE and it will be very simly to merge multiple cells to make complex table.

Best regards,
wenyue

Will there be any possibility of it running on Konqueror (Linux KDE) and Safari (Mac)? They share the same codebase.

Sorry, it does not support khtml (would require yet another port if at all possible)

Another WYSIWYG editor (GPL) is the one done by STEVO+

http://ez.no/community/contribs/applications/xmlarea

It works with Firefox (windows+linux) and IE (haven't tested other browers).
