    Rich Text Editor

    hasc

      Hello,

      does anyone know a rich text editor that can be used with sun jsf 1.2? I found FCK Faces but it only works with myfaces.

      Any hints would be great.

      Thanks,

          Hi,


          I've something working fine with TinyMCE.
          There's post about how to use it with ajax : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=109794

          This is how I use it (with ajax re-rendering):
          - copy the tinymce scripts into your project
          - add this script (init-tiny.js) :

          tinyMCE.init({
           mode:"none",
           theme : "advanced",
           theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
           theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
           theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
           // everything on the first line
           theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,underline,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright ,fontselect,fontsizeselect,forecolor,backcolor",
           theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
           theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
           theme_advanced_resize_horizontal : false,
           theme_advanced_resizing : true,
           convert_newlines_to_brs : true
          });
          
          function updateValue(control)
          {
           var textareas = document.getElementsByTagName('textarea');
           for( i = 0; i < textareas.length; i ++ ) {
           if( textareas[ i ].id == control ) {
           textareas[ i ].value = tinyMCE.getContent(control);
           }
           }
          }
          
          function addMCE(control) {
           cleanMCE();
           tinyMCE.execCommand('mceAddControl', false, control);
           tinyMCE.switchClassCache = [];
          }
          
          function cleanMCE() {
           tinyMCE.idCounter = 0;
           tinyMCE.instances = new Array();
          }
          


          - to add the editor, add this attribute to your ajax tag :
          oncomplete="addMCE( 'yourFormComponentId:yourTxtAreaComponentId' );"
          


          - to remove the editor, add this attribute to your ajax tag :
          oncomplete="cleanMCE();"
          


          - add this attribute to your form tag (otherwise the textarea value is not updated) :
          onsubmit="updateValue('#formId:inputAreaId');"
          




          PS: You should post this on the richfaces forum.

            thanks for your fast response.

            is it possible to confgure the resource path and upload images with this editor?

            regards,
