    Hi There,

    I notice there’s a lot of extra Modx stuff that is used with the tinyMCE plugin - is it possible for normal people to upgrade or do the Modx crew have to customize it?

    There are a LOT of formatting bugs that have been fixed in the current 3.3b2 version.

    Any help would be much appreciated as the version currently shipping with Evo is driving my client (and me) up the wall.

    Cheers

      If it were me, I wouldn’t risk it. The MODx Tiny set-up is very particular to MODx, with long file paths and all kinds of issues relating to PHP settings and such. So I think bringing in the new one could break it. I hope I’m wrong, someone else may chime in. In the past, I’ve done some Tiny/MODx config hacking, and while I got it to work, I did not enjoy it at all.

      I got much better results when using Wysiwygpro and doing fancy configs with it. They have a MODx plugin, but it is a paid program, and although I think it’s hot, try getting people to pay for it. smiley My work with that was pre-Evo, so I’d ask the developers if they’ve used it with Evo - I bet it would work fine.

      I kind of feel your pain there, using any kind of WYSIWYG editor in a content management scenario is fraught with pitfalls. I’ve even written articles about it. Good luck!

        Thanks for the reply,

        Considering my PHP skills it sounds too hard!

        Which is a shame because there really has been a lot of formatting bugs fixed. I’l check out WYSIWYG pro - have no issue with paying for something especially if it fixes a whole bunch of issues...

            Thanks, I did try CKEditor but had similar issues - when you place divs into it, they randomly get stripped out when saving.
