WYSIWYG and HTML
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hello
I'm trying to enter a block of HTML into the CONTENT textfield of an article but it just appears on the resulting page as HTML code.
Is it not possible to enter HTML code if the WYSIWYG facility is active?

Hi Simon,
To enter html code directly into the WYSIWYG editor, click the <> (View/Edit Source) button and add your code in the source popup window.

Thanks
If I paste the source code straight from my HTML editor into that pop-up, AM2 adds a load of ' '
I tried one test and it added 15 x ' in one line ??

Hmmm,
I tried pasting in some code and it worked fine, no nonbreaking spaces.
Can you reply here or private message me some example code so I can try to re-create the issue?

Hi
This:
<p>This is just a test ssample for html source code:</p>
<p></p>
<table width="200" border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>line 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>line 3</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p> end of test</p>
turns into this:
<p>This is just a test ssample for html source code:</p> <p></p> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="200"> <tbody><tr> <td>line 1</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>line 3</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p> end of test</p>
??
I create the html using Adobe Golive CS2 on an Apple Mac (OSX 10.4) then past into AM2 via Firefox

OK, I've tried the following
copied html code to textedit (mac version of notepad) then copied it from there to AM2
I've tried opening the code in BBedit (a dedicated html compiler) and copying it from there into AM2
Same result both times - just loads of   snippets.
I cannot try it in Internet explorer or Safari on Mac because they are not compatible with your WYSIWYG facility. And even worse I cannot create articles in IE or Safari on a Mac at all because of this incompatibility. It won't even let me enter plain text??
All I can do is disable the WYSIWYG option - That is quite a big step backwards !

Some time ago there was a thread about making the WYSIWYG editor Mac compatible - did anything every happen? I recently bought a MacBook but can't use AM with either Firefox or Safari.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was just an incompatibility issue and I had to go without using WYSIWYG but it won't even allow me to enter plain text.
If I disable the WYSIWYG facility my non-html savvy colleagues (who all use PCs) will end up posting plain text articles and everything will start to look grey and boring.

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the post!
We have tried this on our end with an Apple computer and have not run into the same issue, what I am thinking is if you can fill out a support request with your ftp details then we could take a closer look at the problem. Once we can see this happening on your Article Manager installation we will be able to try and troubleshoot where all these extra non-breaking spaces are coming from. :)
You can fill out a support request here:
https://www.interactivetools.com/support/email_support.cgi
Does this help Simon? I look forward to hearing back from you soon!

Hi everyone,
I have been looking into this issue that Simon is having and so far have been able to successfully add HTML code to the WYSIWYG editor on a mac without generating the extra non-breaking spaces. I have tried this using both TextEdit and BBedit on a mac and everything is working okay, so far this is what I have done:
Created then copied code from BBedit:
1. First I opened a new html page in BBedit and added the following code:
<p>On a mac with BBedit</p>
<p></p>
<table width="200" border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>line_1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>line_3</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>end of test</p>
2. Next I went inside the Article Manager admin created a new article and selected the "<>" button from the WYSIWYG editor, in the pop-up window that appeared I pasted the above code from BBedit.
3. Then I pressed 'Apply' and 'Ok' and saved the changes to the article. :)
After doing this the code generated on this test article without all the extra non-breaking spaces so I thought maybe it was caused by copy the code written into TextEdit so I did the following:
4. Copy and pasted the code from BBedit into TextEdit, then took the code from TextEdit and pasted it into the test article everything worked okay. Next I created the code fresh in TextEdit and copied this new code into the test article I still was unable to re-create the issue. :)
At the moment we have not tracked down why Simon is running into this non-breaking space issue, however once we have figured this out I will post an update to this post letting everyone know what was casing this issue. :)

I get this pasting from Dreamweaver. I like to tab in my HTML to aid visual scanning of the code, especially tables. Looks like tabs are converted to spaces and in turn these spaces are converted to non-breaking space characters ever when pasted in code view. Very annoying.
Also when you paste content in, all neatly on separate lines, click OK then go back to edit it the line breaks are removed so the code is all bunched up making it very hard to read.
Any configs where this can be tweaked?

Hi hedley,
It's difficult for us to support changes to the WYSIWYG editor since it's a third-party product, but if you send me a private message with your email address I can send you the documentation for the WYSIWYG editor which may shed some light on how to adjust this behaviour.

This doesn't happen if you ditch the "HTMLSource" button and use the "XHTMLSource" button instead.
For some reason that option preserves the raw HTML line breaks and tabs.
File to edit:
/webrootArtmanDirectory/javascript/loadWysiwyg.js
Line to look for:
wysiwyg.features=[ // buttons to display
Just under the line, replace:
"HTMLSource" with "XHTMLSource"
