http://www.richtexteditor.org/ - Web Wiz Rich Text Editor version 3.0 has been released today. This latest version makes integration into your own web forms much simpler as well as adding a ‘Paste From Word’ Tool using WordTidy™ Technology. This new version on the surface, except for the 'Paste from Word' tool, looks identical to version 2.0, but underneath I have re-written the code to make it much simpler to integrate the Web Wiz Rich Text Editor into your own forms. The latest version allows you to take any HTML textarea and with just 4 lines of code turn it into a WYSIWYG Editor. Well at least that's the theory. You can download the new version at:- ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I have the same question as dhayfule's. How to upgrade from the existing text editor in my forum to this new text editor |

The editor in Web Wiz Forums is totally integrated into the
application, so much so it is actually part of the application rather
than an add-on module, so would be a very difficult task. Due to forum permissions and having to make other alterations to the RTE it took me around 12 hours to integrate the Web Wiz RTE version 3 into Web Wiz Forums, having to make a custom version for the forum, which is why the version number for the web wiz forums version 8 is Web Wiz RTE version 3.0wwf. The RTE version 3 is completly different to version 2, and the simplest way is to start again as all files have been changed. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Thanks for the response.
But then I already have launced my Discussion forum, and have gathered many members. Now if I need to upgrade to RTE 3.0, then I will have to again download WWF V.8.0
In that case will I get a chance to upgrade WWF 7.9 to WWF 8.0

WWF version 8 is not yet complete and probally won't be even ready for a beta release for quite some time yet. For the moment you will have to either live with the current editor in web wiz forums or, if you are very good with ASP and have allot of time on your hands, try and integrate version 3 of web wiz RTE into your copy of web wiz forums. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Just to try and explain simply what to do would require me to write an hour long essay. If you have to ask where to begin, then simply put, you shouldn't try and attempt it as you don't have the expertise. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Version 8 of web wiz forums will have the new editor when it is released.

i like richtext editor using DIV tags than richtext editor using IFRAME tags
anybody have good idea about it?
DIV tags very easy to use with unicode support
 |
Posted By: WebWiz-Bruce
Date Posted: 23 March 2005 at 5:29am
|
The DIV tag method only works in IE as other browsers require that the
whole page become editable, wjich is why Iframes are used. The DIV tag or IFrame method shouldn't make any difference to unicode support. You just need to set the character encoding for the Iframe to unicode. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I've found another problem in RTE 3
Evrebody know that there is ability to save files directly from rte
but this function does not work, if there are characters from 2 codepages, for example: English & Russian
The reason is a FSO using.
I've wroot same function using ADO.Sream method:
Function Write2file(Filename, Content)
Dim objStream
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream") objStream.Open objStream.Charset = "windows-1251" objStream.WriteText Content Filename = Server.MapPath(Filename) objStream.SaveToFile Filename, 2 objStream.Close Set objStream = Nothing 'Clean up... End Function Stupid FSO can't convert codepages, exept UTF, but utf is not suitable in eache case
Previously I posted that open files funcition doesn't worked, the reason was Outpost Firewall code blocking, and I can't find a way to reconfigure this application

Excellent job on the RTE as always borg. I've added it in to my own site as part of the many modifications I have made and as it is cross browser compatiable and has some really good options, It is so good that I replaced the RTE I spent a good 18 months working on (on and off) with yours. When I have to replace some of my own work as a fellow coders is decidedly better then thats the biggest compliment I can possibly give.
I'm looking into making a couple of additional features and have had to recode a couple of things in there to make it compatiable with the functions I use, but your code made that extremely simple to do. All I can say there is congratulations, and I wish you all the success for the future

GrEAT JOB! I've been doing mini-CMS implementation for years and this is great, finally a cross browser jobbie thats sensible and straight forwards and has a little more than the standard implementations. However Despite being close to perfect it fails me in two aspects, whether you are interested in this I am not sure as I see the editor as a by product of the forum product rather than a core project. Firstly in the interests of tidyness I like to keep as much 3rd party code away from mine as possible so when new versions come out, I can install side by side can flick between the two. The code expects to be in the appropriate folder and I've had to go and fudge all the urls to absolute i tried the full image path but i think that only applies to the images... The other thing I cant apply permissions throught the editor, so forexample if I wanted two version of the editor say with HTML view and without, I can only specfy that in the config files and not at the user (my) level. I think I've fudged it so that it will work by moving the variables to my page, but again its tweaking all the time any thoughts would be much appreciated but the main message is "GREAT WORK" |

I did spend the best part of a week trying to develop the RTE to work
with the files in it's own folder, but had so many problems with paths
etc. that I had to give up on it. As far as the configuration files goes, I've tried to make it as simple as possible for novices to use the application. This means that for more advanced set-ups you will have to tweak the code some what. But it is very difficult trying to make a product that is both simple to setup and as generic as possible. Sometimes you have to make compromise. The RTE isn't built as a complete application, but as a base for tweaking and adding to to build into the persons own site or application. For most it is ideal as they don't want to spend months on building an RTE, as this last version took me 6 months to develop, most of which on a full-time bases of over 35 hours a week. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Your Editor is awesome - I've looked for months for something like this - and have found lots of others - but this is the best I've seen - most impressive, it's very fast - the only problem I'm having and haven't been able to figure out is the preview function just says "There is nothing to preview". Any ideas? One question I have is, what would I have to do to allow saving to folders below the designated folder - the comments in the code say that all saved files will save at the folder given here, which is true and it works great, but if possible, I'd like to be able to save in sub folders?
Thank you so much for your hard work on this tool. I'm very impressed and will be sending a donation.

Your preview problem you mention could be to do with the names of the
form fields in the page you are integrating the RTE into are
conflicting. Being able to save to sub folders would require quite a re-write ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Thanks for the tip - I had my form tag like this -
<Form name="myForm">
and changing it to this fixed the problem.
<Form name="myForm" method="post">
Thanks

Ok, I feel like an arse. I totally exploded here without reading the whole thread. Please accept my apology. Apparently I was having a very bad day. I left my original post in quotes so this post made sense. If I'm wrong, I'll say I'm wrong. I'll just wait for Vs. 8, you're right, I don't have the expertise to do this. |

If you are reffering to web wiz forums 7.9 then the Web Wiz RTE v3 will
not work without allot of modification due to the permissions system in
the forum and the present RTE is actually part of the forum code. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I have read through the install intructions just to check they are correct and it doesn't mention any file names, the only file name it has is an example file name for a file created by yourself (eg. my_form_page.asp). This file is not within the RTE zip file as it is an example of a file name you need to create. The line says:-
This line just says that the file (you have cerated) that contains the form you wish to be changed into the RTE area needs a .asp extension, and then gives an example name, it's not a real file name. If this is coursing people confusion then I will remove the example file name from the instructions. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I have re-written the install intructions of the RTE to try and make it simpler to understand. However, as the creator of the application my inside knowledge of the application means that any install intructions I write maybe a bit difficult for some users to understand. I have asked a few times if someone with less knowledge of the RTE could write some install instructions for me, but no-one has offered any help with this. Anyway, here is what I have as the updated install intructions, if you have any comments on how I can improve them further please let me know:-

Well, open mouth, insert foot. I just posted an apology to my original post. I didn't read the entire thread and got mad. That's not your fault. I do appreciate the extra instructions and I will try again. I think you are right though, I probably don't have the necessary knowledge to successfully complete this. I'll probably just wait for it in VS 8. PS, you can expect my payment for registration shortly. I do think you have the best forum solution for my needs and I am looking forward to fully implementing it. |

I downloaded and isntalled the demo version of the RTE and I really like the easy integration and the light source code.. but I don't like how it seems to need a lot of other scripts to run basic features. Do I need ASP Upload to use the upload feature and are there other functions that use external scripts (besides spell check).
Thanks,
James
