Re: [otrs] Replace the rich editor with TinyMCE (Michiel Beijen)

Hello Michiel The issues I got happen in the precise following case: An agent is copying and pasting some text, tables from different sources (web, stand-alone applications). When submitting the text everything seemed ok, but when we got the reply with our response below, we can see that there are some fonts that are bigger than others and other formatting stuff like this. We implemented a modify function that allows us to modify every article in a ticket, so I am able to go back to this article with mixed fonts, modify, put in html mode and pick the code .. there I can see that there is a big mess with html (being imported from the copying-pasting stuff) The problem with the editors used by OTRS is that there are not WYSIWYG. TinyMCE is WYSIWYG so it solves my problem. I finally succeed in installing this new editor, everything works fine and I have a plenty of new functions like fullscreen, preview, print, ... The only thing I need to arrange is about the spellchecker. Hope it helps :) Message: 2 Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 18:17:03 +0200 From: Michiel Beijen Subject: Re: [otrs] Replace the rich editor with TinyMCE To: "User questions and discussions about OTRS." Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Out of curiosity, what kind of issues did you have with the FCKEditor? OTRS V3 has "CKEditor" which is a newer version of the old FCKEditor but obviously it might have some of the same issues. On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 16:03, Martignier, Philippe wrote:

Hi Martin,

Many thanks for your quick answer. I am an old developer (Cobol, MS-Access, ...) but am not afraid to go into code.

So I think I have to remove the code about the default editor and put the one of tinyMCE (provided by them) instead?

And I just place the files in \var\httpd\htdocs\js where there is the fckeditor ?

Will look at your example !

Hi Philippe,

it's not planned, but yes, you can replace the RTE. The file which you need to change is Kernel/Output/HTML/Standard/RichTextEditor.dtl (you need to have developer skills to do the replacement).

As another example of RTE replacement see http://edenhofer.de/p/aloha-editor/ (OTRS 3 with Aloha Editor "beta" - http://www.aloha-editor.org/).

Hi there,

I have several issues using OTRS 2.4.8 about copy and paste with html tags.

It seems that TinyMCE is a better editor than the one used by default in OTRS. (I tried also the one in OTRS 3.0 but it is the same as before just with a new look)

My questions:

1) is it possible to change this rich text editor with another one?

2) where and what file(s) to modify? I imagine there is a call to a javascript with the text field in parameter

Thanks for any help,

Philippe
