MicroTinyV7 : A nice TinyMCE 7 module for CMSMS 2.x

[brambaud]

Hello CMSMS Community,

For those who love the stability of CMSMS 2.x but want a more modern content editing experience, I'm happy to release MicroTinyV7

This module is a complete, feature-rich replacement for the core MicroTiny editor, upgrading the engine from TinyMCE v4 to the latest TinyMCE v7.

Key Upgrades:

• Modern TinyMCE 7 Interface: A faster, cleaner, and more powerful editor.

• Rewritten CMSMS Linker: Features a live, as-you-type page search.

• Advanced Mailto Plugin: A true WYSIWYG experience for {mailto} tags with visual placeholders and a full-featured dialog.

• Full FilePicker Integration: Works seamlessly with the official FilePicker module, including uploads and directory navigation.

My goal was to create a safe, drop-in replacement that deeply respects the CMSMS ecosystem while providing the modern tools we've all been waiting for.

A note on transparency: To accelerate the development process and overcome some of the complexities of the new TinyMCE 7 API, this project was developed with significant assistance from Google's Gemini Pro model (via AI Studio). It has been a fascinating and productive collaboration between a human developer and an AI, and I wanted to share that aspect of the journey with you all.

You can download the first stable release and see the full feature list on GitHub:

I hope you find it useful. All feedback is welcome!

Does this version work correctly with CMS Version: 2.2.22-b.12?

For me it's ok with the official version 2.2.22 - Saskatoon.

PS : A new TinyMce 8.0.2 is available.
I hope to make a new TinyMCE 8 module for CMSMS 2.x in the coming weeks.

Great module!
Thank you - very appreciated!

Please re-add the plugins

• help

• autoresize

in the file "tinymce_config.js" to the "plugins:" section for admin users. So one can see the TinyMCE version information and use the autoresize feature by default.

The only thing that does not work (for me) is setting a "Stylesheet for editor" in the "MicroTinyV7 WYSIWYG editor" settings for "Admin Editors". When setting any stylesheet, the WYSIWYG breaks already in the "MicroTiny example" preview window.

How can I see the value stored in "$mt_selector"?

Code: Select all

    selector: '{if isset($mt_selector) && $mt_selector != ''}{$mt_selector}{else}textarea.MicroTinyV7{/if}',

Oh, and on your Github page you should correct the "Download the Module" section as the link is just a placeholder.
