Can I turn off the fancy editor?

I'm playing with CMSimple 2.1. Very nice. The editor works very nicely on Mac Mozilla, but not on my browser of choice, Safari. No surprise there, the documentation is quite explicit about what kind of browser is required.

My question: For simple editing, I don't mind going through the html, so is there a way I can disable the fancy editor and just edit pages using a simple textarea field, like the Stylesheet and Template editors allow? Best of all would be a way for the fancy editor to automatically show with the approved browsers (mozillia mac/windows, and IE windows, I guess) and with any other browser just automatically show a textarea?

Is this possible? And do the changes for v2.2 affect this situation one way or the other? Thanks. -Steve

Hi Stevie!

The existing editor allready works in a lot of browsers. Unfortunately not in Safari. But it seems that with the new editor in the actual beta version the choice will be more restrictiv than now.

I asked Peter to rethink if it will not be better to integrate an editor wich is the most compatible with actual (open source) browsers. And I HOPE REALLY that he will not close the door in CMSimple for the "Non-M$-World"!!!?

Replace the part just after // EDITOR CALL in cms.php with this:

Code:

if($edit&&(!$f||$f=='save')&&!$download){if($s<0&&$ss<count($c))$s=$ss;if($s>-1){$su=$u[$s];
$o.='<form method="post" style="margin:0" id="ta" action="'.$sn.'"><input type="hidden" name="selected" value="'.$u[$s].'"><input type="hidden" name="function" value="save"><textarea name="text" id="text">'.$c[$s].'</textarea><input type="submit"></form>';
}else $o='<p>'.$tx['error']['cntlocateheading'].'</p>';}

Thank you, that was very helpful.

Unfortunately, Firefox 0.8, my daily browser, crashes spectacularly with the built-in editor, so until the Firefox team fixes the bug, I'm better off with it commented out.

Has any integated HTML Area with CMSimple, and if so do they have any idea if Firefox does better with it?

Thanks,
Tim
