VFE functionality

boggle

Hello everyone,

A couple of questions. We have some new users who are looking for the html "easy" button and so I've been tasked with adding html tags to the functionality within VFE 5.1. While a simple example such as the stand alone hr tag is avaiable in the Ektron eWebEditPro Developer's Reference Guide can someone point me to a meatier example? Most tags must wrap around existing selected text. Some are even more complex (ie abbr) as they will require a pop-up to insert the title attribute.

While we are on the subject does anyone know what happened to some of the eWebEditPro functionality as it was constrained to become Visual Format Editor:

- the Remove Style button: presently you can add style sheet functionality but to remove it you have to go over to code mode and "dig it out" whereas there was a function defined to remove it, whose code has been removed.

- The form elements: They are set out in the VFE xml controller file but the buttons have been removed as has their backing code. If you recreate the buttons frmForm works but the rest do not. I removed the leading and trailing greater thans and less thans they are there in the file.

cmd name="jsformform" key="form" ref="frmForm" /
cmd name="jsformbutton" key="bbtn" ref="frmBBtn" /
cmd name="jsformsubmit" key="sbtn" ref="frmSBtn" /
