After a great job done by the core team and specially our lifesaver called Mrswoop, the new release is ready to download (and... you knew that the editor used to write today's blog was fckeditor?)

FCKeditor provider news and new team member

mauriciovaleria@hotmail.com — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 08:00:00 GMT

Hi everyone. I want to apologize because it was a long time without any news about the provider and myself. The truth is that sometimes real life could take more time than expected (My new beautiful daughter).

The new version (01.00.07) of the provider is ready and all it needs is to be published, but it could take some time because the core team has a new process to ensure real quality on each DNN part involved. Hope to have it published this week.

The 01.00.07 version fixes a lot of bugs and includes the new FCKeditor (2.3.2) which fixes a lot of bugs too.

You can learn about the new FCKeditor release here:

I have really good news: we have our first team member. I want to introduce you to Dan Ferguson who will be doing some coding to enhance the provider.

Dan has proved me that he has the knowledge and the imagination to move this project forward and I want to say him thanks to be here helping our community to be better.

Next time I will blog the road map to keep you informed about what is inside our minds. Also, we will start to look for new team members (Testers and documenters) to keep this project going faster and better.

Hope 01.00.08 will come really soon (After 01.00.07 is released) including a big set of new features and enhancements

Regards to all

FCKeditor provider is out (01.00.06)

mauriciovaleria@hotmail.com — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 04:00:00 GMT

The new version of FCKeditor provider is out (01.00.06)

The modifications were:

The custom options page was moved to a new window to improve load time when the user is allowed to view the custom options, and to solve the profile module problem.
The profile module problem (missing tabmoduleid) was solved by using the tabmoduleid from the "user accounts" module
The image gallery was fixed and validate against the "/" problem under DNN 3.3.x and 4.3.x
Version 2.3.1 of FCKeditor was included to solve some problems.
A new web.config attribute was included to control who is allowed to view and edit the custom options page: CustomOptionsDialog. Possible values are: Host, Admin, None
Fixed a simple bug when using FCKDebugMode
Added support for using four open methods for opening custom options dialog. A new web.config parameter was included so host can decide the best way. Possible values are:

OptionsOpenMode="ShowModalDialog"	This uses the showmodaldialog function of IE (uses normal window.open for other browsers. This could avoid a bug inside IE and session cookies. This is now the default method
OptionsOpenMode="Open"	The normal window.open is used for all browsers
OptionsOpenMode="urlsamewindow"	Uses a normal link that opens in the same window. No javascript
OptionsOpenMode="urlnewwindow"	Uses a normal link that opens in a new window. No javascript

Thanks to all those people who tested the module

Thanks for your patience. Now you can download the new provider from the project page.

http://www.dotnetnuke.comhttp://www.dotnetnuke.com/DotNetNukeProjects/ProviderFCKeditor0153/Downloads/tabid/936/Default.aspx

Please take note that this is not an upgrade. This is a new provider and could be installed without touching the old version from dnn.tiendaboliviana.com. It uses a new folder name and a new provider name entry.

Well, a new provider but working identically to the old one. Why? the answer is simple, this is now a new project and uses the DNN branding and this project is going to stay here for long time

I want to thank all people who had to answer all my recurrent requests. Now I will start to build a development team, so stay tunned.

How to install?

You must unzip the downloaded file and you will find a install.txt file in there. Follow the instructions step by step

What is new

A lot of fixes with the image and flash gallery
Fixed the custom CSS and XML file
Added support for Medium trust
Uses the new FCKeditor 2.3 (Really enhanced)
Includes more options to customize font names, font sizes, font formats and font styles
Other pending fixes

The new Gemini space will be created as well and you will be able to report bugs and suggestions there

Please use the forums to post comments and request help

Enjoy

FCKEditor provider news

Sorry for being so quiet lately, but now I can break the silence to give you details about what are coming soon.

There are no real changes other than moving the project to use all DNN branding

Namespace has changed to be under DotNetNuke structure
Some folder names has been changed removing the DS prefix
Provider folder name has been changed
Provider identifier inside web.config has been changed

So the question could be: Can the new provider be installed along with the old one?

The answer is: Yes, the new provider will start as version 01.00.00 using a new name, but it will be the same at the end.

Gallery templates: A few TAGs have been renamed (DS chars removed). You will be able to include your custom gallery templates too after replacing a few TAGs.

It addresses a few pending bugs, and now it will start to use the standard way to make suggestions and to report bugs (Gemini)

Next days I will be recruiting more people inside the team.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. The new release will be available soon.

What’s next?

Well, many people out there were surprised with this new sub-project, so we are going to inject this slowly to see how deeper we can go.

At this moment, the free FCKEditor provider from dnn.tiendaboliviana.com makes most of the FCKEditor features available to DNN without touching the original FCKEditor code, but also it adds some other nice features included in the provider itself to make the editor’s life easier than before.

Our goal will be to push hard into the idea of making a better provider base class as this is the only way to improve this without using “hacks” to accomplish each task. Then we’ll be able to enhance the provider itself.

I will be starting a set of posts inside the new FCKEditor forum trying to identify most people needs when using on-line editors. I will ask you to participate no matter if you are using or not the FCKEditor. Good ideas and suggestions could lead to improve the way on-line editors are working inside DNN and maybe some editors could receive some feedback at the same time.
