Hello, Group.
In the process of developing several webapplications with rails I found
that there a two common obstacles, which take a huge amount of research
just to finally realize that there is no ''easy'' solution to
this...
already guessing? I''m speaking about
1. a solid RichTextEditing functionality as part of the core or in the
form of a helperModule that plays nicely with ''link_to_remote''
2. a file_field with ajax-capability, so that no
''link_to_remote'' or
browser-vendor might break it.
I also found, that the benefits of ajaxian UI-design are heavily
disturbed by this because you are forced to do a page-reload-construct with
every file-upload-possibility you want to give to a visitor - from a
designers standpoint totally inacceptable,
because you have to ''think dirty'' from the beginning.
I would be very willing to help create such functionality, and am quiet
sure someone is already on it but i have no clue, where to look or go
- all that comes up is a half-vanished module for TinyMCE-integration
and its link in the wiki points to a dead end, the other usable finding
seems to be an integration of the half-vanished thing into the
ajaxscaffolder...
Also I guess a from-ground-up-redesign of a solution with ruby 1.2.x and
2.x in mind would be very nice to have and could also involve a
roundtrip about ''what RTE-functionality is really need- and
sensefull?''
- do we really have to garden the whole ''Word-heritage'' or is
it
possible to synthesize a more workable text-input-interface - let alone
that markup-solutions (like Wordpress uses) might suffice from case to case.
But alas, i have no directions, perhaps i totally ignored another post
from before my joining the list
or a little documentation-chunk hidden in some Changes.txt bears all
the answers and you all are gonna hate me,
because i ask questions you hear way too often these days...
however, if you also desire such, already have ideas about it or can
give any direction needed for
programming solutions, i thank you in advance for your generosity.
Best wishes,
Thorsten Gries
