MIGX does not work with CKEditor and other alt. RTE's

[danyaPostfactum]

Currently there is no way to dynamically load and unload rte for specific fields.

Aaah, we're getting closer to that general RTE & MIGX Problem...but why is TinyMCE working?

[danyaPostfactum]

Because https://github.com/Bruno17/MIGX/blob/master/core/components/migx/elements/tv/migx.tpl#L238

I have some thoughts about improving MODX rte integration API, but we have to wait for MODX 2.3. That's not good...

[Bruno17]

here's the part which inits tinyMCE after loading the window:

https://github.com/Bruno17/MIGX/blob/master/core/components/migx/templates/mgr/updatewindow.tpl#L235

think here needs something to be done

[exside]

lol, or both of them? Looks like the same code in 2 different files^^...damn extjs, I'm really no help there =/. What about that (seemingly) more generic .loadRTE() method that's commented out? Does it exist and if yes could it be combined with system setting which_editor?

[danyaPostfactum]

We can use something like

    this.rtes = this.el.query('.modx-richtext');
        for (var i = 0; i<this.rtes.length; i++) {
            MODx.loadRTE(this.rtes[i].id);
        }

But I can not understand how do you @Bruno17 unload rte...

[Bruno17]

good question, was long ago since I added the tinyMCE functionality into MIGX

your code is working, but only the first time, I open the window.
The next times there is just a small textarea left.

[danyaPostfactum]

your code is working, but only the first time

I know that. Thats why we need the way to unload RTE. I need it for AjaxManager extra also.
By the way, MIGX seems to work with AjaxManager :) But there is still little bug.
@Bruno17 , after using modal window Add Item, your window should be destroyed.

Execute

Ext.getCmp('modx-content').removeAll()

in the browser console. You will see that you window will not be destroyed. You should either destroy the window on hide (or close, I dont remember) event, or listen modx-panel-resource for beforedestroy event and cleanup MIGX.

Back to the issue. I proposed MODx.unloadRTE(id) for TinyMCE.

I propose to call MODx.unloadRTE when available , otherwise remove TinyMCE instances directly.

When do you plan to release next version of MIGX? I would like it to work with CKEditor. If you have no time, I'll try to resolve this issue myself and send my patch to you.

@danyaPostfactum Did you end up doing any further work on this?

Hi guys,

will there be any fix that we can use CKEditor with MIGX?

I'm currently working on a huge project and the last thing before i can go live is this fix.

Unfortunately i can't switch to TinyMCE for certain reasons so may I ask you if there will be a fix, when can we expect that?

[Bruno17]

this feature (CKEditor-tvtype for MIGX) will be added, latest as soon as a customer requires it for a payed project

[Bruno17]

fkabs and other guys, I think you are lucky and ckeditor should work now with MIGX

[exside]

yess, thank you so much! Will try out asap!

[fkabs]

works like a charm
thank you so much
