War needs (links insert) Can't Post
As articles need to be posted from all kind of sources, the ability to insert a link attribute target="_blank" is really a must... Anyway to get this going...??? making the change in long articles with multiple links is very tedious as information pours in...

Hi Noza,

Thanks for posting! :)

Are these links in the body of your article (meaning you enter them into the content field)? How are you adding the links? Do you think you could provide me with a link to an article that includes links so I can get a better understanding of what you're trying to do?

Hey Noza -

Actually, I wrote a little hack for the link popup which allows you to enter in a target value. The drawback is that at the moment, it doesn't work with images.

But if you're still interested, post me back and I'll run over the steps you'll need to go through to get it running in your Article Manager. :-)

Re: [noza] War needs [In reply to] Can't Post
Okay, this is what you'll need to do:

1. Download a new editor.js file from here.
2. Download the insert_link.html file from here.
3. Upload the new editor.js file onto your server - it will be in an /images/htmlarea directory. Overwrite the old editor.js file (but make a backup first!!).
4. Upload the insert_link.html file into the /popups subdirectory within the /images/htmlarea dir. Make sure it has read permissions for everyone (e.g. 644 would be fine).

Then, just go into your Article Manager and do a little test... if all's well, it should work straight away! :-)

Post me back!

Re: [Benjamin] War needs [In reply to] Can't Post
Ben, just to not get confused Crazy

The links you posted take me to the same page "2" of the same posting...

There is one attachment posted Feb. 22 as editor.js (48.4 KB)

Then there are at least three attachments posted 2/22, 3/2, 3/10 of insert_link.html (4.80 KB)

CrazyBlush I'm going for the older postings... right?

UPDATE: I downloaded the above... but the one used now read Ver. 2.03 while the dowloaded with the "target" option reads 2.02?? is the : " // insert link (modified) " the only change? Am I trading a newer version (2.03) for the older but the mod??

UPDATE: I just copied and pasted the "// insert link (modified)" lines into Ver.2.03. It seems to work... Did I do the right thing ??

One thing I have noticed is that unlike the original 2.03 editor.js, when you select a link already in the article and click on the "link" button... the pop-up already had the URL typed in it... HOWEVER with the modified version... I select a word (alreday linked) and the pop up does not call up the URL (already typed in there: href="http//...", therefore you have to re-type it... SO, if I'm right when I copy and paste a long list of links... I now have the option to add a TARGET but have to re-type every URL?? Pirate Are we confused yet?? :)
  1. Try the original Ver.2.03
  2. Insert a link
  3. The go back and modify it (you will see how the pop calls up the URL already typed)
  4. NOW try the same with the modified version...
  5. The URL is not re-called.








UPDATE: I just went to your tester page:

It works fine... So I guess there is more to it other than just coping and pasting the "// insert link (modified)" lines in the editor.js Anyway to post a current 2.03 with the mod? or which lines of code did I miss and also need to replace ??

Thank you in advance Ben...

Re: [noza] War needs [In reply to] Can't Post
I'm glad you checked.

The editor.js is the first editor.js on page 2 of this thread: http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=7462#7462 (Feb 22,)
and the insert_link.html is the one I posted on March 2nd, a few posts later.

(And don't tell anyone but, 2.02 and 2.03 were exactly the same, just some with new online documentation :-)


EDIT: Yes, don't just copy & paste those new lines mentioned in one of the forum posts into the editor.js - they were old. The editor.js mentionend above contains some different code that allows for editing existing links.

And yes, I will post a new version - but first I want to get this image linking thing sorted out, and it's taking a little longer than I suspected. Do you think you can get it going from the above info?

Re: [Benjamin] War needs [In reply to] Can't Post
Thank you, it looks like I got the right ones... thank you very much... however, as hard headed as I am... I was comparing the code... and also replaced this part

// match tags and call filterTag
RegExp.lastIndex = 0;
var matchTag = /<\/?(\w+)((?:[^'">]*|'[^']*'|"[^"]*")*)>/g; // this will match tags, but still doesn't handle container tags (textarea, comments, etc)

contents = contents.replace(matchTag, filterTag);
contents = contents.replace(/http:\/\/www\.___relativelink___\.com\//g, "");

It helps me learn in the process... and it seems to work fine... Did I miss anything else...?

ps: 2.03 does not have the "i" button

Really! I always thought the code was identical! That's interesting to know.

Very thorough! :-) I can't think of anything you missed...

Hi,

The update for link targets is great. Exactly what I needed!

Do you still have an update for creating images as links?

e.g. select an image and then put it as a link.Sly

Hi mcmurtrey!

Thanks for the suggestion! You'll notice that we do have a thread for JavaScript add-ons here that you can take a gander at.

And I'll pass on the salary request to Ben's boss... ;)

Re: [Benjamin] War needs [In reply to] Can't Post
Hi Benjamin,

I don't know why the add-on doesn't work with me. I did everything in details but still nothing appears at all!

I can see the pop-up window ( inserts_link.html ) but when I put the link, link-text, and the target and press ok; nothing happens at all Crazy!

any suggestions?

thank you in advance,

Hi MEKAEEL,

Thanks for posting.

I tried implementing this on a local demo and didn't have any trouble at all. I've attached my WYSIWYG files in case you want to use them. All you need to do is un-zip them and move to your website.

Try using them, and let me know if that works for you Smile

Re: [Cliff] War needs [In reply to] Can't Post
sorry Cliff but I can see that non of my popups are working fine with me! so the problem is not from your editor.js

I tried to put a completely new editor.js file but still non of the popups work!

also I checked the chmod for the files and they are 644 so I think that should be normal. I also replaced the whole wysiwyg folder with a new one but the error remains.

when I press the insert image button I get:
Code
 "An error has occurred in this dialouge      
   
Error: 52      
   
'selection' is null or not an object "

when I press the full screen button it opens a blank page, the background color popup displays but doesn't work, same as the font color popup.

I went the the htmlarea forum but no one helped me and it's not the first time. Actually I wasn't going to care about it if it wasn't that serious for me, I'll appreciate your help.

thank you in advance,

Re: [MEKAEEL] War needs [In reply to] Can't Post
Hi MEKAEEL,

Thanks for the additional details.

I think that the error you were getting there was because if a incorrect images URL in the Setup Options for the program.

With Article Manager, the "Images URL" label can sometimes be a bit of a misnomer -- the address really should be a virtual path from the web root, rather than a fully qualified URL. So where /artman/images/ works fine, http://yoursite.com/artman/images/ may not allow you to use the color picker, or the insert image tag in the WYSIWYG editor.

For example, if you login to Article Manager at the following URL:

http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/admin.cgi

And your Images URL is set to

http://yoursite.com/artman/images/

You may get an error (depending on the server setting). The missing www is interpreted as an incorrect URL and the WYSIWYG gives you the error message.

Fortunately, it's really easy to fix! All you need to do is change the Images URL to virtual path from the web root, rather than a fully qualified URL. To do just log to Article Manager and clicked on Setup Options --> Server and change the Images URL to this:

/artman/images/

That should fix that right up, but if it doesn't just send me an email and I can take a closer look at things for you Smile
