Shoutouts to our friends at Ephox, for their great contribution to the TinyMCE code base.

Also shoutouts to the WordPress guys, congratulations on the 3.3 release, we now have 2 of our projects running within WordPress, both TinyMCE and Plupload.

Thanky you all for using our products.

Showing some advanced work on how to customize and form the editor to fit your website better, using custom styles, adding custom buttons and styling the interface, a very good slide, wish I had heard the talk.

Check out the article and slides here.

On another note, we have a new employee, Davit Barbakadze has been helping us out for a bit the last couple of weeks and he is now a part of Moxiecode Systems AB. His main focus right now will be to incorporate some fixes and enhancements into Plupload and then move over to help out on TinyMCE development as well as other development.

In addition, they have also commited resources to help out the community in a more direct way, by helping to fix bugs, answer issues on the forum and various other things. You might have seen Adrian commiting bug fixes on Git and answering some topics on the forums. Ephox has also setup an automated UNIT test bed that checks TinyMCE across browsers on different Operating systems as soon as something is commited to GitHub TinyMCE project. You can check out the Ephox Enterprise TinyMCE offering at their website. Also check out Adrians view on this partnership at his blog.

So why do we need this? Moxiecode Systems is a rather small company, we want to focus on the development of TinyMCE and not get bogged down with to much support and licensing issues (not everyone like/can use LGPL). “Outsourcing” these parts to our partner network and filtering bug reports through them will allow us to focus more on the needs of the community and future development.

Switching to GitHub was a major step in getting more social, getting more developers engaged in TinyMCE and making it simpler to contribute. This Partnership network is another step towards Enterprise customers that want more than just a community supported editor, they need premium support, guaranteed turn around times and many other things.

If you wish to become a partner, contact us and we will fill you in on how this works.

Well on the 1st of April, GitHub announced SVN support, most ppl thought it was an April fools joke, but it does actually work.

It is read-only of course.

If you want to check out TinyMCE using SVN you use this url.

svn checkout http://svn.github.com/tinymce/tinymce.git

Check out their blog post on GitHub for more info.

We also introduced a new ChunkUploaded event this is very similar to the FileUploaded event except that it’s fired when a chunk is sent to the server not when all chunks have been uploaded. If you trigger an error inside this event it will cancel the remaining chunks.

A new bytesPerSec property was added to the total progress. This allows you to display the current upload speed.

We also added new support for renaming of files before they get uploaded. This is a feature of the jQuery queue widget and will only be available if you disable the unique_names option and enable the rename option. It will only allow the user to rename the base part of the file not change the extension, how ever extensions should always be verified on the server for security reasons.

The Plupload site finally got a Forum. This has been a popular request by the community. So discussions regarding the product, news about the product etc will now be posted there rather on this blog. You can also follow the news using Twitter on our Plupload twitter account.

Another step is that we have added Twitter links on our TinyMCE website so you can follow this blog and forum news. The TinyMCE twitter (www.twitter.com/tinymce) will also take all TinyMCE related blog posts from this website, and the Moxiecode twitter (www.twitter.com/moxiecode) will only take everything from this blog and not the TinyMCE forum news.

For a while back we have also a Facebook page, sign up to show your support.

We are hard at work tweaking the latest version of TinyMCE, and there hasn’t been any major bugs found in the beta even though this is a big rewrite of certain parts.

Rob Geitema has made some excellent work in integrating the editor into Plone.

There was a Plone conference covering (amongst other things) the upcoming TinyMCE integration, check out the recording on Rob Geitema blog.

Very nice integration work!

I suggest you checkout the interview here.

We continue to listen to the WordPress community (through our friends working with WordPress) and are very happy about the intergration of our editor in this most excellent blog/site engine.

Need more ppl like Andrew Ozz, for other platforms, we can simple not handle integration with every CMS system out there, if you are working on integration with other CMS, feel free to contact us if you need assistance, we will help you out as much as we can.

It integrates with the file and image software built into EPIServer. When we get some time we are going to look into officially supporting the integration of our file and imagemanager with EPIServer.

Check out this blog for more information about the adapter, and where you can download it.
