Encoding in TinyMce

Hi,

I have searched the forums and also the tiny mce forums.

When I save text with tinymce it adds the encoding for & lt;& gt; quote etc., to the saved DCR(XML) in the textarea where tinymce is used.

How do I save the dcr/xml in raw form for all instances of tinymce in my forms?

1. The solution of using the xsl disable-output-escaping="yes" is not a solution for me as many xsl's are already written and changing them all is not an option at this point of time.

2. The other option I saw in some posts was write formapi to clean up extra code onSave. I would like to avoid this if possible as I already have several events in the form.

3. I looked deep inside the tinymce directory where there is a file called tiny_mce_src.js where I see the encoding happen.
/iw-home/httpd/iw/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_src.js

Should I be editing this file? Looks like a bad idea as I may mess up big time.

Is there some setting in /iw-home/httpd/iw/tinymce/config/custom_config.js that I use instead to get the raw text?

Please help.

What version of TeamSite?

namithapai

Teamsite 6.7.1 SP1 patch level 6
Using forms API and tinymce

From the following KB article I tried
https://support.interwoven.com/kb/kb_show_article2.asp?ArticleID=61428

adding the following code in the custom_config.js

IWTinyMCECustomConfig("myconfig", "entity_encoding", "raw");
IWTinyMCECustomConfig("custom1", "entity_encoding","numeric");
IWTinyMCECustomConfig("custom2", "entity_encoding","named");

And tried using them in the DCT like this (attachment)

None of the above seems to make any difference :-(

Has anybody used third party editors like wywmeditor instead of visual format or tinymce?

I searched on the forum and also in the docs. I did not see any mention of this kind of usage.

Since I don't seem to be getting any answers on my previous question with tinymce, I am wondering about other options.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Or if I have missed some previous posts about the same topic, please let me know.

Thanks

IWTinyMCECustomConfig("myconfig", "entity_encoding", "raw");
IWTinyMCECustomConfig("custom1", "entity_encoding","numeric");
IWTinyMCECustomConfig("custom2", "entity_encoding","named");

I don't think you can have multiple custom config in the custom_config.js.

Did you just try the "raw"?

IWTinyMCECustomConfig("custom1", "entity_encoding","raw");

Have you tried this on your system? and if it works as expected, I would say write a script to upate all the existing dcr files, which IMO would be ideal.

2. The other option I saw in some posts was write formapi to clean up extra code onSave. I would like to avoid this if possible as I already have several events in the form.

This is also an option which will give you more control if you want to be selective in future.

3. I looked deep inside the tinymce directory where there is a file called tiny_mce_src.js where I see the encoding happen.
/iw-home/httpd/iw/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_src.js

You may mess up big time if you do not take back up of all what you are changing.

Is there some setting in /iw-home/httpd/iw/tinymce/config/custom_config.js that I use instead to get the raw text?

There may be some setting in custom_config.js but again you will arrive at option 1 with existing dcr files.

Not that I am aware of, but be aware you may lose your support for TeamSite if you modify TeamSite in any unsupported manner. Check with support before doing anything like this.

I don't think you can have multiple custom config in the custom_config.js.

Actually - I'm pretty sure you can - you just need to refer to the correct one in your textarea attributes.

Yes, I thought that creating custom values inside custom_config.js was recommended as per the manuals.

I have also tried using it in the textarea. Can you see something wrong with this usage?

< textarea
cols="60"
rows="15"
external-editor="tinymce"
external-editor-config="custom3" />

I have opened a support case. Will update the forum when I hear from them.
In any case, I have to get this feature to work since I am planning on having some custom table layouts in the tinymce toolbar and this seems to be the only way to achieve that.

Meanwhile, I also tried formAPI. But I already have a setDCRName , so for some reason, the onSave or onSaveValid event is not getting triggered. I used the firebug to track the JS, but nothing gets triggered. I wonder if there is something about using both the features together?

hi Namitha,
Were you able to implement encoding in tiny mce editor?Can you please share how you achieved it as i need to implement for saving the output of tiny mce editor in UTF-8,unicode, numeric and named encodings.

Your query makes no sense. UTF-8 is a form of unicode, and numeric and named encodings are mutually exclusive!

The answer to the original query of this thread, "How do I save the dcr/xml in raw form for all instances of tinymce in my forms?", is that you can't do this. It's just not the way DCRs, or XML for that matter, work. The content captured in the field is treated as *content*, not *markup*, and as such saving it as markup would only confuse the heck out of FormsPublisher. This has nothing to do with TinyMCE. Put HTML in a plain textarea and you'll get the same result. As for the entity encoding, there's a config value you can use to set which type you want: http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:entity_encoding

I mean to say how can we configure different types of enitity encoding in tiny mce editor..Thanx Rick for your help.

Rick Poulin

Are we talking DCTs or SitePub? SitePub can (currently) only have the one configuration. DCTs can have many, as "documented" in custom_config.js. All you need is to define each config with a unique name.

IWTinyMCECustomConfig("custom1", "toolbar_row","cut,copy,paste");
IWTinyMCECustomConfig("custom1", "entity_encoding","numeric");

IWTinyMCECustomConfig("custom2", "toolbar_row","cut,copy,paste");
IWTinyMCECustomConfig("custom2", "entity_encoding","named");
