Thanks for working on this module...
Is this only for CMSMS 2.* or will it work in older versions..?
The change log on the page linked above is so long it doesn't show everything maybe less space between paragraphs would help...

Thank you Dr.CSS - This new version is only for CMSMS 2.1.1 and after. We are using the new DesignManager to handle templates (JS and user ones), and some other stuff related to CMSMS2. And we have to go forward now with CMSMS2
I changed the changelog so it's easier to read on the forge page

Tests on Linux-Debian + PHP 7 on CMSMS 2.1.1 and on
CMSMS 2.1.2 SVN
- management of images, links, files, and other decorating
- Everything seems OK
I cannot test CSS but this release works fine for me.
thanks to developers airelibre and silmarillion
I suggest that many users should give their opinion on this version

Thank for maintaining this actively, this was one of the old weaknesses in my opinion. Good to see someone picks this up.

Thanks for your messages.
The alpha2 is out and corrects a bug when using Windows as hosting system (slashes stuff). Now the editor should work on a Windows server. Successfully tested on WAMP.
Keep testing !

Wow, just took it for a spin and THANK YOU! I'm starting my journey into CMSMS 2.x and I'm in the process of adapting Ace Editor for it (this is a showstopper for me), but this is WOW. A million times improved over the old Tiny and the stock microTiny.

Thank you Guido, we are happy if the module suits your needs

Happy to see your working on Ace Editor. This is helpful when you don't use any externalizer / outsourcer module

Just started the project and working on it in Github. I use Ace all the time. Frankly, I thought there was only one externalizer and that that wasn't ready for the 2.x series...
Anyway, I just really like Ace, so I'll put some effort into making this.

There are two modules: ExaExternalizer and Outsourcer that both do quite the same job. Outsourcer exports content blocks too.
But we miss a Syntax Highlighter module for CMSMS 2 off course

I have beem working on a fork fo ACE but have also been quite busy with work so it' taking a bit to complete it. It's almost ready though. But, as usual, there is no harm in having more than one similar module...

Then maybe you've some tips for me. I'm trying to autoload the mode, depending on the type of template you're editing. Or mix 'n match modes. I don't know how Goran did that back then..

Back on topic with the TinyMCE module, I may have found a bug. When I open the file manager and select an image (right click) to edit, I get the error message:
"There was a problem loading your image provided to the `image` config key. Either it's not actually an image file or it doesn't really exist."
I don't know if this is the Aviary image editor. I saw there was an API key option in the settings, but it was pre-filled so I left it like it was. Apart from that, it doesn't seem like the error has anything to do with the API key.

Are you using the module on a local install, or online one? I think that the Aviary editor will not work on localhost installs. On my local install, the loading wheel is spinning endlessly, but it works on my online server.
Can you test that?

This is an online server, not a localhost. I don't see an endless spinning wheel, I just get an error message ("There was a problem loading your image provided to the `image` config key. Either it's not actually an image file or it doesn't really exist."). I checked the console, there's also an error there:
Code: Select all
TypeError: o.toolsPager is null
a.ControlsWidget.prototype.setupScrollPanels/<()
editor.js:2
AV.AssetManager/r/</<()
BTW: I'm testing on Firefox, haven't tested any other browsers yet.
EDIT
Just tested on chrome, same issue.
