[opensuse-wiki] better Wiki editor
Hello, I'd like to propose to install the "WikiEditor" extension from the MediaWiki Usability Initiative. "WikiEditor" is currently used on Wikipedia - edit any page there to see it in action. Compared to the currently used editor, it has several additional features: - dialog to link to other pages with auto-completion - formatting toolbar (for headlines, bullet items etc.) - a list of special characters (clickable to insert them) - included help for the most important wikitext formattings Opinions? BTW: If needed, I can give some advice how to install this extension. However, it shouldn't be needed - it's quite easy to install ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Nichts its gefährlicher als sich in Gefahr zu begeben. das merkst du spätestens dann, wenn du sein erstes Posting ins Usernetz losgelassen hast.

We were waiting to see FCK editor :) I agree that current Wikipedia editor is much better then the one we have, so until FCK is ready, we should offer WikiEditor. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

I'm still watching the FCKeditor wiki page and bugtracker, and I'm afraid we'll have to wait quite a long time. It seems the development is stuck, and there are some bugs that break the content of existing pages by just saving them with FCKeditor enabled :-( (for example it removed the "link=" part from images last time I tested it) I was using FCKeditor in www.hortipendium.de (a wiki for professional gardeners) for some time, but had to replace it with WikiEditor because of that bugs. And, big surprise: the users didn't complain - even if they are less technical people than those editing the openSUSE wiki.

Exactly. Regards, Christian Boltz -- Wenn du willst kannst du das so machen, du kannst dir dann aber auch genausogut mit ner Hilti ein schickes Schaedel-Piercing machen...
