There is a lot of modules, issues and security to keep track of when configuring your editor to Drupal, she goes through configuring and adding some good functionality.

Check out the video on her website.

Of course, we would recommend using MCFileManager and/or MCImageManager with Drupal to make it easier to work with images

This service is heavily inspired by jsfiddle.net

The new TinyMCE website is a huge success, ppl are getting engaged with the bug/feature tracker and submitting good quality reports, something we appreciate a lot and we no longer have to put up with the incredibly turtle-slow Sourceforge tracker system.

Just as a side note, many seems very interested in exactly when the new TinyMCE version will be out of Beta, can’t give you any exact date, but we expect this to be the last beta unless something unexpected shows up.

So, 500 million ppl just got access to TinyMCE, sweet

And as you might have noticed (we tweeted about it) Facebook is now using TinyMCE in their “Notes” section as well as “Facebook Questions”.

We are now back from vacation since the start of this week, getting back into things again and we got a lot of nice stuff for the community comming up.

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.

These are the job openings right now:

How to apply!

If you feel like you have the skills needed, send your application to info at moxiecode dot com with your name, address, current work situation and CV. If you are apart of some Open Source project or have code located in some public repository, send some info on how/where we can look at it and describe how you where involved in that project.

The learning curve for Git is kind of steep, and we hope that more ppl will be able to help out when the tools (such as TortoiseGit etc) becomes better and more understandable. It can only get better from here.

We recently released a new version of TinyMCE (3.3.2), and we continue to review patches and contributions made by others.

Also, through a recent partnership we can offer better support and custom license options for TinyMCE, but more on that later.

If you wish to follow any of our products on GitHub, here is a link list of our current project.

• TinyMCE
• PunyMCE
• Plupload
• js-build-tools
• TinyMCE Compressor
• TinyMCE Spellchecker

Thank you everyone for all your contributions!

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.

Chunking

Chunking is smart, it will allow you to upload files regardless of how large they are. Normally server environments have a limitation how much they can store in memory, normal upload forms put everything in memory and dumps it down when the whole file is received.  With chunking, you can continue to upload even if the memory has a low limit cause the file is chunked into smaller parts and saved every x kilobytes.

PNG and JPEG resizing

Support for resizing means that images can be resized by the client, before they are uploaded to the server, saving a lot of bandwidth. Lets say you are uploading your vacation photos, instead of uploading a 2560×1600 image it will be resized down to a more web-suitable 640×480 image, saving a lot of space and making the upload quicker. Also this will use the client browser to resize the image and not the server resources.

Type Filtering

By type filtering we simply mean the option to select only a certain type of files, such as only .jpg etc.

Drag & Drop

This feature has been limited to Java Applets for so long now, but support for Drag & Drop is starting to look better in more of these supported ways to upload and we will continue to monitor their progress.

Fallback

A good approach when setting up Plupload is to configure your runtimes as optimal as possible, we would recommend the following order of fallback.

• Google Gears (best feature support)
• Silverlight (good support)
• Browserplus (good support)
• Flash (good support, best client spread)
• html5 (bad support, bad client spread)

Once html5 becomes more spread and usable, we would suggest putting it on top.

Why Flash so far down? Well actually after Google Gears (our personal favorite) the other plugins all have their faults and are rather similar. If chunking is required for you, remove HTML5 and Browserplus from the runtimes since they do not have support for chunking.

There are a few more options/features but they are quite simple and you should be able to figure them out if you check the documentation.

On another note, we will be making an update sometime soon with better buttons for uploading, a lot of ppl seemed to have missed the little “Play/Upload” icon on the right side of the UI and clicked the grey form send button instead.

If you want to contribute, be sure to visit the project on GitHub.

There are a few really interesting features available, such as:

• Drag  & drop.
• Client side image resizing before upload.
• Select file type filtering.
• Chunking to allow uploading huge files without any problems.

Want to try it out?

Check out the website.

Note that some features only work with some runtimes and browsers, check the feature list on the Plupload website for more information. Also note that this is a first release version and may contain some bugs.

And if you are interested in the source, you can fork the project on GitHub.

Enjoy!
