= Add Dojo Editor =
This document describes how to add the Dojo Rich Text Editor (Editor2) to the Django Admin-Interface.
'''Unfortunately, multiple Editors on one site is currently not working with Editor2.'''
== Install Dojo ==
Download [http://www.dojotoolkit.org Dojo] (kitchen sink) and install it on your webserver in /media/dojo/...
== Add the javascript for loading the Editor ==
Save the following script as !AddRichTextEditing.js into /media/js/admin/
{{{
document.write('');
document.write('');
var AddEditor = {
init: function() {
var helptext = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
for (var i = 0, ht; ht = helptext[i]; i++) {
if (ht.firstChild.data == "Rich Text Editing.") {
ht.previousSibling.previousSibling.setAttribute("dojoType", "Editor");
// All features are enabled by default. For manual feature selection just uncomment next line.
//ht.previousSibling.previousSibling.setAttribute("items", "formatblock;|;insertunorderedlist;insertorderedlist;|;bold;italic;underline;strikethrough;|;createLink;");
}
}
},
}
addEvent(window, 'load', AddEditor.init);
}}}
This script looks for the help text "Rich Text Editing." and replaces the associated textarea with the Dojo-Editor. I´m using Editor2, because it´s loading much faster than Editor.
== Define the models ==
Define your model like this (if you change the help_text make sure to change it in !AddRichTextEditing.js also):
{{{
#!python
body = models.TextField('Body', help_text='Rich Text Editing.', blank=True, null=True)
...
class Admin:
js = ['js/admin/AddRichTextEditing.js']
}}}
that´s it.
== Screenshot ==
[http://www.vonautomatisch.at/django/dojoeditor.jpg Screenshot (Preview)]
== Some restrictions ==
* no XHTML support
* doesn´t work with Safari
* multiple editors on one site doesn´t work with Editor2. You have to use Editor instead (using Editor, your are not able to set specific heights for different textareas).
== Hints ==
* Usually, the area for Rich Text Editing stretches vertically when adding content - if you want to have a scrollbar instead, set the "height" in /src/widget/RichText.js or add ht.previousSibling.previousSibling.setAttribute("height", "500px"); to the above script.
* You may want to change the styles in order to integrate the RTE: use /src/widget/templates/HtmlEditorToolbar.css - be aware that these styles may clash with the django-styles.
== Help ==
* some examples can be found in the [http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/ Dojo Nightly builds].
== Alternative version ==
Another way to do this is to use the fieldset support in the Admin interface, and set the CSS class for the fieldset
to `wysiwyg`; see http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model_api/#classes for more details on how to do this.
Then use this version of `AddRichTextEditing.js`:
{{{
document.write('');
document.write('');
var AddEditor = {
init: function() {
var fieldsets = document.getElementsByTagName('fieldset');
for (var i = 0, fs; fs = fieldsets[i]; i++) {
var classes = fs.className || fs.getAttribute("class");
if ( (classes) && (classes.indexOf) && (classes.indexOf("wysiwyg") != -1) ) {
var textareas = fs.getElementsByTagName('textarea');
for (var j = 0, ta; ta = textareas[j]; j++) {
ta.setAttribute("dojoType", "Editor2");
}
}
}
},
}
addEvent(window, 'load', AddEditor.init);
}}}
This looks for all `fieldset`s with a `class` of `wysiwyg`, and then finds any contained `textarea`s and gives them
a `dojoType="Editor2"` attribute. The value of `help_text` is unimportant and shows up as normal.
