-Epoz - a cross-browser-wysiwyg-editor for Zope
-
- Epoz allows you to edit Zope-objects with a wysiwyg-editor. No
- plugins are required. You only have to use a recent browser (IE >=
- 5.5, Mozilla >= 1.3.1, Netscape >= 7.1, Firebird >= 0.7) that
- supports Rich-Text-controls (called Midas for Mozilla).
-
- Please read the CHANGES.txt before upgrading Epoz.
-
- To use Epoz, simply install it into your Products-directory of your
- Zope-Server and restart the server. If you want to get nice
- formatted and xhtml-compatible html-code from Epoz, you should also
- install "mxTidy":http://www.lemburg.com/files/python/mxTidy.html or
- "uTidylib":http://utidylib.sourceforge.net on your server.
-
- Documentation about Epoz for end-users is provided by Tom Purl (see
- "EpozBook":http://zopewiki.org/EpozBook). Thanks Tom!
-
- Epoz talks over XMLRPC to the Zope-Server to clean up the html-code.
- After the processing of mxTidy, Epoz tries to call an additional hook
- (EpozPostTidy) which can do postprocessings on the html-source.
-
- If you want to use the EpozPostTidy-Hook for getting relative urls from
- Epoz out of the box, create an External Method in the root of the ZMI or
- your Plone-Site with id=EpozPostTidy, Module Name=Epoz.EpozPostTidy,
- Function Name=EpozPostTidy.
-
- If you want to use the EpozPostTidy-Hook for customized tasks, please
- have a look at Epoz/Extensions/EpozPostTidy.py on how to build an
- EpozPostTidy-hook. To use the EpozPostTidy-Hook for your
- own applications, create an external method or a python-script with
- id=EpozPostTidy in the root of your site, which expects three parameters
- 'self' (=server context), 'html' (=only htmlbody) and 'pageurl' (=the "real" base
- url of current page, use it to traverse the object, rewrite urls, etc.).
- It should return a new html-body.
-
- If you want to use Epoz with Plone use the CMFQuickInstaller or
- create an External Method with id=Install in your Plone-Site.
- Then edit the newly created External Method, set
- Module Name = Epoz.Install, Function Name = install and
- click on 'Test'. Now you can select Epoz as default editor in "your
- preferences" of the Plone-Site. You can customize the widget
- (uncomment elements you don't want to see) through customization
- of portal_skins/epoz/epoz_script_widget.js. Epoz is shipped with a
- default toolbox for Plone (icon with folder on it). You can insert links
- (please highlight text before inserting a link) and images by
- searching / navigating through your site and simply click
- "Insert Link/Image".
-
- If you want to use Epoz with native Zope applications, you have to
- create a customized edit-script. Because there is no unique
- interface for editing Zope-Objects, I did not include a
- "manage_edit_all"-script for Epoz. You have to create it yourself!!!
- To start working with Epoz, simply create a DTML-Method with
- id=edit::
-
- <dtml-var standard_html_header>
- <dtml-if html>
- <dtml-call "manage_edit('', content_type='text/html', filedata=_.str(html))">
- </dtml-if>
-
- <p><a href="<dtml-var URL1>">View Document</a></p>
-
- <form action="<dtml-var URL>" method="post">
- <dtml-var "Epoz('html:string', data=this().data,
- toolbox='/toolbox',
- lang='en',
- style='width: 620px; height: 250px; border: 1px solid #000000;')">
- <input type="submit" name="submit" value=" Save Changes " >
- </form>
- <dtml-var standard_html_footer>
-
-
- Then create an empty File with id=test and point your
- browser to http://yourServer/test/edit. That's all...:) Please note:
- Epoz is a pure HTML-editor and can't edit any ZPT-or-DTML-Tags!
-
- To create an Epoz-Rich-Text-Editor from your own
- Products/Scripts/Methods/ZPT, you have to call it with one fixed and several
- optional paramters::
-
- Epoz(self, name, data='', toolbox='', lang='en',
- path='', widget='',
- style='width: 600px; height: 250px; border: 1px solid #000000;',
- button='background-color: #EFEFEF; border: 1px solid #A0A0A0; cursor: pointer; margin-right: 1px; margin-bottom: 1px;',
- css='', customcss='', charset='utf-8', pageurl=''):
- """ Create an Epoz-Wysiwyg-Editor.
-
- name : the name of the form-element which submits the data
- data : the data to edit
- toolbox : a link to a HTML-Page which delivers additional tools
- lang: a code for the language-file (en,de,...)
- path : path to Epoz-Javascript. Needed mainly for Plone (portal_url).
- widget: You can specify a path to an alternative JavaScript for
- epoz_script_widget.js
- style : style-definition for the editor-area
- button : style-definiton for buttons
- css : url to a global css which should be used for rendering
- content in editor-area
- customcss : url to a customized css which should be used for rendering
- content in editor-area
- charset : charset which is edited in the editor-area
- pageurl: the base-url for the edited page
-
- If Epoz can't create a Rich-Text-Editor, a simple textarea is created.
- """
-
- Epoz is shipped with a very nice additional feature. Besides the
- rich-text-controls you can set up a customized toolbox. This is
- simply an URL which provides a popup-window with special functions.
- To get the idea, create a DTML-Method with id=toolbox in your Zope-Root
- and enter something like::
-
- <html>
- <head><title>Epoz-Toolbox</title></head>
- <body onload="this.focus();">
-
- <h1>Images</h1>
-
- <dtml-in "PYTHONPATH.TO.IMAGES.objectValues(['Image'])">
- <img src="<dtml-var absolute_url>"
- border="0"
- width="16"
- height="16"
- alt="<dtml-var title_or_id>"
- style="cursor: pointer;"
- onclick="window.opener.CreateImage('<dtml-var absolute_url>'); window.close();">
- </dtml-in>
-
- <hr />
-
- <h1>Links</h1>
-
- <dtml-tree "PYTHONPATH.TO.CONTENT" branches_expr="objectValues(['Folder','File'])" nowrap=1>
- <a href="#"
- style="cursor: pointer;"
- onclick="window.opener.CreateLink('<dtml-var absolute_url>'); window.close();" ><dtml-var title_or_id></a>
- </dtml-tree>
-
- </body>
- </html>
-
- Now you can click onto the little icon with the folder on it and get a
- popup, which provides images (simply click) and links (select text in
- Epoz-window, then click onto link).
-
- If you want to translate Epoz into your own language, have a look at
- skins/epoz_lang_en.js.dtml. It would be nice if you want to share
- your translation with me.
-
- I hope you'll enjoy Epoz. For me Epoz is the missing link to Zope.
- If you consider using Epoz, please write me a short mail about your
- use-case.
