    Has anyone looked at the new release of SPAW editor?

    http://www.spaweditor.com/en/disp.php/en_products/en_spaw/en_spaw_intro

    I’m not sure how it compares with TinyMCE, but it has a nice feature - tabbed multiple documents within the same editor window.



    I could see this would work very well in ModX for working with multiple rich text TVs. At the moment, if I have three rich text TVs in a document, there are three copies of the editor which isn’t very user friendly and can be quite slow (because it has to do all the javascript stuff 3 times).

    How easy would it be to trial this in ModX? Are there any docs on doing it?

      This looks interesting. The tabbed editor could also be a great tool for multilanguage sites. Just have a tab for each active language!

      Haven’t looked at the motor yet so I have no idea how easy or difficult it would be to write a modx plugin.

        I jacked this into etomite once (older version of spaw) and that was not that hard. but this would need to be a pluin instead of a core hack and that is not (yet) my thing.

        But it would indeed be nice for multie langual sites

          wow, sounds good smiley
          modxcms is great, but if you want to develop an admin area for the client that has no idea of web programming, tools like this are always welcome tongue
          I hope that a spaw plugin will born soon.. I begin study spaw and modxcms plugin system tongue
