As you might or might not have noticed, we have released TinyMCE 4 as well as MoxieManager this week, so what have we been up to with these products?

MoxieManager

MoxieManager has been in development for a long time, and was quite frankly very delayed, well we want to release not just a solid product, but a solid platform for future features, updates and improvements, we have now released a product we are very proud of, and the feedback so far has been great. There will probably be a fair amount of support regarding upgrading and integrating MoxieManager, as well as any bugs that might get brought up to the surface when our 18 000 customers starts to implement the software. We have a new website and a new support system, if your a client, you should have recieved email about this.

.NET version is scheduled to be released within 1½ month from the PHP release, so don’t panic you .NET users out there.

TinyMCE 4

And yes, TinyMCE 4, totaly new user interface and tons of changes behind the scenes as well, code quality improvements have been drastic, as well as the improved build process, inline editing and much much more. Those of you who are missing features, do not panic, most of the features are still there, its just that the user interface have been greatly simplified for end users, as time progress we will get back some of the more advanced ui features as well, but our policy on these changes are simplicity, most users do not need the clutter that is advanced image options or detailed style editing.

We really hope you focus more on implementation issues, setting up formats and classes to use, instead of relying on the source code editor or any of the previously tricky advanced options for setting styles and what not.

TinyMCE 4 is beta, if you find any issues, use the bug tracker to submit them, thanks. We are also working on updating the documentation as fast as we can.

I guess its been out for a while, Apple now uses TinyMCE in their iCloud email application with great success.

Was a long time ago they showed us the beta of the new iCloud and told us they wanted to use TinyMCE. They are also using it together with Sproutcore, with TinyMCE mostly just used as an engine for the editable field, much like Squarespace and others are doing.

Stay tuned for TinyMCE 4, it will be another excellent major update to TinyMCE!

Aditia Rahman has made an article about custimizing TinyMCE with CSS.

He replaces the icons with the popular Famfam silkicons library, you can download his creation on his website.

Check out the article.

If you have any insteresting articles about our products, lets us know and we will feature you here on our blog.

We finally aquired the TinyMCE.com domain, sponsored to us by Ephox.

Also done some minor updates to the website, nothing major just some fixes and tweaks.

We have been working on getting TinyMCE to run on the iPad, most things seem to actually work, except that the browser crashes a bit and the UI isn’t really a perfect fit for that type of interaction, but it is getting there.

Yes mark your date with March 31, 6:30 PM (USA Pacific Time, GMT – 8), our partner Ephox is hosting the first TinyMCE meetup ever! We will be available via video link from Sweden to their office during the meetup. The meeting will be held at the Ephox office in Palo Alto, we would love if you TinyMCE users out there could help completly fill their office up! We will be talking about the roadmap and also take in any questions you might have surrounding TinyMCE.

For more details and signing up, check out the Meetup page!

The buzz around Plupload is huge right now, much more than we anticipated, and we are putting more resources into the continued development of Plupload and starting to create a community around it similar to TinyMCE. Over the next couple of weeks/months you will see a rebuild of the website so contain a wiki for the documentation as well as its own bug/feature tracker system (like the new one we are using for TinyMCE). The current website wasn’t built to contain so much content, but as the project grows, so must the website.

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.

Finally we got the new web site out the door. This new site is a complete redesign and it also contains a lot new community features. We have described each of the features below you feedback is always welcome so that we can continue to improve the community functions.

Issue tracker

We have now moved away from the SourceForge issue tracker and built our own custom one. This gives us the ability to add exactly the features we want such as bug voting and tie it to GitHub. It should now be a lot faster to work with since SourceForge was a pretty slow service. We will also be more responsive when it comes to resolving bugs now when we have a more easy to use tool.

Wiki

The Wiki was moved from MediaWiki into a custom Wiki that uses HTML and TinyMCE for it’s editor interface. The wiki lets you structure pages into a page tree and supports syntax validation for source code samples.

Translation Service

A popular feature of the old site was the translation service that enabled uses to translate TinyMCE to it’s native language. We have improved this feature for the new site and it’s now possible to both translate and preview the results on the site. It makes it a lot faster and easier to contribute language packs to the project and those contributions are always welcome.

API Documentation

The documentation has been improved and one of these improvements is the API documentation. This one is now inline inside the wiki, it’s exported out of the source code of TinyMCE using our Moxiedoc tool and users can comment on the different parts of it. It’s very similar to how www.php.net has it’s documentation.

Examples

The example section has been improved by moving all examples into categories. We will continue to add more examples here and any feedback on what to add here is always welcome.

Custom download packages

A common complaint we see regarding TinyMCE is that people say it has to many files. So we wanted to change that, the site now includes a tool for only selecting the components you need and save this as a preset on your account. Then each release you can simply just download the preset package.
