    Revolution 2.3.2, TinyMCE 4.3.3-pl

    Repeat of what I posted in General Support:

    In Evolution 1.0.14 adding / pasting as plain text:

    Text about something line one
    Text about something line two

    Results into:

    <p>Text about something line one</p>
    <p>Text about something line two</p>

    Right now in Revolution 2.3.2 adding / pasting as plain text:

    Text about something line one
    Text about something line two

    Results into:

    <p>Text about something line one"<"br /">"Text about something line two</p>

    (less-than and greater-than are without "" in real case, surely)

    I have tried it also with MODX Revolution 2.3.1 and 2.3.0, TinyMCE as the only package installed - still the same problem.

    -- How can one change it to be like in the Evolution TinyMCE?

      I would suggest switching to CKEditor or Redactor. TinyMCE is bug ridden.

      If you really want to stick with it, try the development branch from Github: https://github.com/modxcms/TinyMCE

        CKEditor is a new thing for all those people I have made more than few web sites for. Right now I need to migrate a web site from Evolutiuon to Revolution. So it is going to be some extra time spending for me to get these people acquainted with a new editor. Anyway, it is practically new to myself. For example, I have now idea how it is to make custom plugins for CKEditor.

        Today I have already got a suggestion to use CKEditor and I have tried it. But right now the task demands to stick with TinyMCE.

        Also I probably found by myself the answer for my question. [ed. note: viener last edited this post 9 years, 2 months ago.]

          I seem to have found where it is set. It is the paste plugin of TinyMCE and the paste_text_linebreaktype plugin option.

          Now it is set to "combined" in assets/components/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/paste/editor_plugin.js . It has to be set to "p" to have the same behavior as in Evolution.

          I can edit editor_plugin.js and it works. But I would like to have it in a proper way. That is to be the next question.

            The question is not solved, but it has produced a next one: http://forums.modx.com/thread/95695/create-new-setting-for-a-tinymce-plugin-option

              In my experience, getting users used to a new rte is far easier than getting them used to a migration from evo to revo.

                  - It seems to work as I want it to, but I have no idea if I did it the right way. Or if there is the right way.

                  - In any editor I need to be able to add my own plugins and buttons for them in the editor panel. I keep sticking to TinyMCE very much because I know how to do it for this editor (in Evolution). Is it possible to add custom plugins and buttons for them in the editor panel in Redactor? If it is, how? [ed. note: viener last edited this post 9 years, 2 months ago.]
