TinyMCE - Insert HTML Code

, , , ...

So, you might be reading this because you are having trouble inserting HTML code into your TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor. Off course you can add the HTML, but it automatically gets stripped by the editor and just disappears.

By default, TinyMCE only allows specific tags in it’s editor content body. These are known as valid tags. Even so, you can tell it to allow additional tags which you’ll specify in the TinyMCE initialization function.

Usually, you will initialize TinyMCE using something like this :

<script type="text/javascript">
<!–
tinyMCE.init({
theme : "advanced",
mode : "exact",
elements : "editorContent",
width : "565",
height : "200"
});
–>
</script>


…then you’ll need to add a new line, just below the “height” parameter. Something like this :

extended_valid_elements : "input[name|size|type|value|onclick]",


The line of code shown above, will allow you to insert the <INPUT> element with 5 different attributes : “name”, “size”, “type”, “value”, “onclick”. Please note that you can add more attributes as well. Just seperate each attribute as shown above. Not only that, but you can add more elements as well. Something like this :

extended_valid_elements : "input[name|size|type|value|onclick],iframe[height|width|src]",


And that’s it! This will allow you to insert your needed HTML elements into TinyMCE editor without it being stripped automatically.

You’ll end up with your init(); function looking something like this :

<script type="text/javascript">
<!–
tinyMCE.init({
theme : "advanced",
mode : "exact",
elements : "editorContent",
width : "565",
height : "200",
extended_valid_elements : "input[name|value|size|class|onclick|type],iframe[name|src|framespacing|border|frameborder|scrolling|title|height|width]"
});
–>
</script>

Biltong & DVDs

Ok...I feel really guilty for doing this, but I simply cannot resist.

Today is Sunday (it's currently 8:30am here) and I just decided that I'll be spending the day watching DVDs, relaxing and off course my traditional Biltong (Googlit).

I'm supposed to be working today, since I need to show a client a large demo of a custom content management system tomorrow or the day after. But one has to rest. I'll work on it tonight after sleeping a bit in the late afternoon. Have completed the project about 75% already, so that's good. It's just PHP, MySQL and JavaScript. No design work required.

I love these days...
They are so quiet and relaxing. :smile:

JavaScript Table Sorting Script

, , ,

Thought I'd share a very, very useful JavaScript resource with you :

http://www.tagarga.com/blok/post/2

This script allows you to dynamically sort a table by the field titles in the THEAD.
Something which one cannot live without once you have it.

The UL did A little LI

, , , ...

I created this really, really sweet little navigation for my new site design.
It's so smooth and slick that I simply cannot stop hovering it. Hehe :D



Works great in Opera, Firefox, IE7. Tested!
Just lovit...dontcha think? :wink:

Forgot to mention...
It has been integrated into Wordpress and FULLY supports dynamic page, sub-page, sub-sub-page, sub-sub-sub-page, etc... creation. It's really awesome!

Dunhill Filter Discontinued !?

,

I don't really smoke this strong stuff...I usually go for the lights, but hey...when times get rough and the work overloads you, its a good opportunity to take a step up. :D



Quite disappointing... :worried:

When to the quickshop, friggin 2am this morning.
The guy behind the counter told me that it has been discontinued.
Not sure if it's true...but he seemed sure of his fact.

What are we going to do now? :cry:

What do GENIUSES have in common?

Interesting piece of writing here : http://www.hightechbiz.com/pub/genius.htm
It actually makes sense...but it doesn't mean that you are a genius if you have those characteristics. :D

Wordpress : Using TinyMCE with your plug-in

, , , ...

Want to use TinyMCE with one of your Wordpress plugins?
Obviously you can include all the TinyMCE files in your plugin and use those, but you seriously don't have to, since Wordpress already has TinyMCE ready for you.

Btw...for those of you who don't know what TinyMCE is, it's a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editor for webpages. See the screenshot below :



Let's say that you have a plugin which creates a form in the administration panel, allowing the administrator to enter some text, even HTML with CSS into a textarea. You'll first need to include a reference to the "tiny_mce.js" file included with Wordpress.

<script type="text/javascript" src="../wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce.js"></script>


Once you have done that, you'll need to initialize the TinyMCE class and tell it how to behave. See the code below. It tells TinyMCE to use the "advanced" theme and replace all elements with the "editorContent" ID with the TinyMCE User Interface. The code also specifies the WIDTH and the HEIGHT of the User Interface. There are many more parameters you can use, but you'll need to look at the TinyMCE documentation, since I don't really know many of them.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
tinyMCE.init({
theme : "advanced",
mode : "exact",
elements : "editorContent",
width : "565",
height : "200"
});
-->
</script>


Lastly, you'll need to put a TEXTAREA on the page somewhere which will be replace with the TinyMCE User Interface. It will be something like this :

<textarea id="editorContent"></textarea>


And that's just about it.
TinyMCE used inside of one of your own, custom Wordpress plugins.

Wordpress Tiger Admin : It Works!

, , , ...

The famous and fabulously beautiful Wordpress Tiger Administration theme works in Opera. Sad to say...they don't tell us that. They simply tell us that it works in Firefox. That sucks...

Anyways...here is a screenshot :



Case you are interested in downloading this for free, see the link below. It's very easy to install. You simply upload it as a plug-in and then activate it.

Enjoy it! I surely am! :smile:

Calibri Makes My World Go Round

, , ,

For those of you whom don't know what "Calibri" is...it's a font face.
See the screenshot below :



So this font was released by Microsoft with Vista and Office2007. I'm not sure if they created it, or how it works, but I'm assuming that all ".ttf" fonts in the Windows system belongs to MS.

Anyways...it's just so beautiful.

Since I've started using this font in my emails, project documents, etc... my clients have been telling me how professional my work looks. (especially the proejct specifications documents.)

It's such a pleasure to work with Calibri.
Try it out, you'll love it!
