iRev on line Page Editor

Reply Threaded

I'm wondering if anyone has already build a page editor, kind of like a
wiki thing... where you are on an iRev page, you click a button and (in
my case) you get the html content for

<div id="maincontent">

# all the content of the page minus fixed headers and footers etc.
# the area to be edited

</div>

put that into a form field for editing, then send it back and update the
page.

I suspect someone has done this already and if so can you share your
page code?

One of the tools that is really valuable to those doing web
programming is:

The free FireBug plugin for FIrefox.
( http://getfirebug.com/ )
Also a lite version for IE, Opera, and Safari

This lets you drill down through all the parts of the web page being
shown, and then make changes, or copy-paste, or...

In the Firebug panel that pops up on the bottom half of the page,
Go to 'html' tab, then right-click on "<html>", choose 'Copy Html',
then paste where you like

The right click menu choices are
Copy Html
Copy Inner Html
Copy XPath
Log Events
Scroll into View
New Attribute...
Inspect in DOM tab
----------------------
Tons of features and info

This is a very well-supported plugin (add on) and used by most anyone
serious about web design/management.

But Firebug does not actually save edits back to the web server...I've
used it myself from time to time, but I don't see any place to enter FTP
info for uploading edited content. FB is amazingly useful if you are
trained.... but

I'm looking for an interface for very naive users. Click, edit, save,
like a wiki, but for an individual page, though they will face the "raw"
html in the div where we let them work.

Should be pretty easy to build in iRev and I'll do it myself later this
week but I just did not want to re-invent this if someone else had done
it already.

Andre... you had a simple CMS right?

Swami -- check out the incredible CKEditor 3.0 -- I am working with it at
this very moment... it uses the CDATA form to substitute a custom rich text
window for a <textarea> tag.

It has everything you desire in an online rich text editor and more. Use it
to make an "included" page for the user contributions

yeah, I know - Javascript - but it is a thing of coding beauty...

http://ckeditor.com/

not sure how the licensing works in your case but I think it might be pretty
open..(dare I say free?)

from integer to floating point

Reply Threaded

In reply to this post by Jim Ault

Can somebody help me ?

I just got something strange with 4-rc-1 and I would like

I have two successive handlers, shortened here, but the beginning is
exact:

command changeClimat niveau
lock screen
set cursor to busy
changeCouleur "Niveau1",niveau
-- do something
end changeClimat

command changeCouleur lacarte,depart
put depart * 4 + 1 into debut
-- do something
end changeCouleur

well, "niveau" is an integer, say 1159
"depart" is also an integer, 1159 as you would expect
... but "debut" is 4638.568627 !!!! (instead of 4637)

The variable names are NOT used anywhere else in the stack. If I past
and test these handlers in another stack, they work as expected, so it
is probably due to something in this stack, but what ? I just started
with it this evening and it contains practically nothing except one
slider (calling changeclimat with its thumbposition) and six images.

Many thanks for any idea - I have none left...

Jacques

when working with sliders or any time fractional numbers might involved,
it's useful to use the round( function on such situations.

It's an oddity of scrollbars that they appear to produce integers, but
actually they are floating point numbers. Round the thumbPositon
before sending it on and everything should be OK.

Cheers,

I have written a page like this that allows me to edit some of my
pages online. The trick is in setting the page up at the start. I use
text files that contain the actual data and the displaying page reads
that in and formats it for display. This means that my editing page
just needs to list the existing text files and allow me to select one
of them for editing, or create a new text file. The form then saves
the edited or new text back to one of the text files so it can be
displayed as usual.

I make sure to replace ampersands, less-than and greater-than signs
with their HTML entities before saving. And when saving a new file,
On-Rev has a nasty habit of saving the file name at the start, so I
write empty to the file first, then write my text to the file in a
second write).

My editing page is in a protected folder since I don't allow anyone
but me to edit these pages, but I can send you the scripts if you
would like.

Cheers,
Sarah

CKEditor 3.0 handles all entities -- no filtering needed, and can display
source on command. It has hooks for saving and loading, etc.

It's output can go right to the page with no coding. The demo even shows an
Ajax thing that pops up the editor in the middle of the text it's about to
edit!

This is *almost* a mini version of CODA in a web page.
