[opencms-dev] Real rich text editing in XML content

[Jonathan Woods]

Include the followinng in the <appinfo> tree at the bottom of your schema:

			<layouts>
				<layout element="MainText"
widget="org.opencms.widgets.CmsHtmlWidget"
configuration="formatselect,link,anchor,source,imagegallery,downloadgallery,
linkgallery,htmlgallery,tablegallery" />
				...
			</layout>

and that should do the trick.

Subject: [opencms-dev] Real rich text editing in XML content

Hello list,

I have a question concerning XML content types. As far as I can see, the
most flexible datatype for text as XML content is OpenCmsHtml. My problem
is, that the corresponding widget does only allow very basic formatting and
no insertion of pictures or - more important - even links into the text. If
I want to have links in that article, I have to have separate fields for it
in the XML content type definition, but this would deny the user to place
links in the text where he wants them. To put it short: I need the full
fledged HTML editor for single fields of structured content as well.
Is there a possibility to get this working?

The background is that I'd like to create an XML content type for articles
with separate fields for Title, Teaser Text, Main Text and so on, but also
with the capability of putting links into the Main Text of the article at
any location (or even pictures and stuff like that). I believe this should
be a quite common requirement.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Yours,
Jan Hegewald
