Grear editor ! Some questions of use

[ThetaGParticipant]

Hi !

Finally! Great to have this editor in jqwidgets !

Before yesterday, I found some missing features and misoperation:
– In FF 19.0 the inline toolbars disapear when clicking into the edited text by mouse, but if I use keyboard to navigate to the editor, it works fine. In Chrome 28 it works fine with mouse too.
– The bottom toolbar doesn’t work in inline mode. It only displays toolbar at the top in inline mode.
– The strikethrough feature missing for me. It is not implemented on the toolbar, too. However, I suspect, it can be done pretty simply by a command, it will not be on the toolbar. (I saw in the source css how to add it to the image. Yet, I need to add it in every new version of jqw.)
– I planning to implement keyboard shortcuts within the editor (I’ve been using them for 15 years). How can I execute an editor commands by code?
– How to get the editor object? I want to manipulate the selection in the “contentEditable” editor.
– How to get the editor selection object?
– The editor object selection change event missing for me. I did read it can be implementet by time. But, first I need the editor object to impelemnt it manually.
– In some case I don’t need the toolbar, only keyboard shortcuts. Can I turn it off totally in inline mode? (A vertical line remains if I give tools:” within options.

Anyway, I love to have this editor ! Simple. Effective. Quick.

Thx in advance,
ThetaG

Hi ThetaG,

1. In inline mode, there is no bottom toolbar. In inline mode, there is no top toolbar, too, there is a floating Popup Toolbar. We will consider adding support in future versions for toolbarPosition in the Popup Toolbar.
2. You can’t get the Editor object or any other internal objects. You can use only its API as documented on our documentation page.
3. There is currently only “change” event which is raised when something is changed.
4. There is no vertical line when you set “tools” to “”. See: http://jsfiddle.net/AMPFK/. By doing this, you can hide the toolbar if you wish.
5. There is no way to execute editor commands by code. Supported features are demonstrated and documented in the API. Reference: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-documentation/documentation/jqxeditor/jquery-editor-api.htm
6. If we decide to add more features to this widget in the future, you will be able to see them on the Roadmap page: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-documentation/documentation/roadmap/roadmap.htm

Hi Peter!

Thx for the answers.
1. I actually just removel the first “tools: ‘bold italic underline | left center right’ ” from the example: javascript-editor-inline-editing.htm and it produced what I wrote. And did againt and it did it again. In FF 19.0 “offline mode” (without http server use, just opening the file). U can see it in this albums pics:

2. Anyway, I looked into the code of the editor and I saw the solutions to the rest of my questions. E.g. I know how to get the editor object; how to execute the action, etv. etc. Because JS is JS. (JS = JavaScript, to be fully clear)
I only needed to demininify (beautify) the code of the editor, I looked at the code (read it), then all answers came.

Thanks again for the editor and the information from you!

Hi ThetaG,

Well, it seems that you have already violated our EULA. Look at: http://www.jqwidgets.com/licenseagreement/!

Hi Peter !

I don’t think so. I’m gonna use the component for totally personal use. In 2-3 years when I will have time to finish what I needed.

I didn’t see any restrictions in the EULA in this concern.
If there is, please, be more specific!

Bye,
ThetaG

Hi ThetaG,

You shall not modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software or any portion of it or attempt to derive source code or create derivative works. That is what is stated in the EULA on our website. It does not matter whether you use it for personal or other use. The EULA is valid for anybody. Your so called deminify action is in violation with the EULA!
