RE: wysiwyg wiki?

Hi Ken,

I agree that the Wiki would need a good WYSIWYG editor that does what it is supposed to do. When we implemented the wiki FCK editor in 2.5.0, I tested it and was greatly disappointed.

In the meantime, I have created a lot of resources to support faculty and students in using wikis. Might not be what you are looking for, but it might help get things started... Have a look at the following URL:

I did a presentation in Paris that was recorded. You will probably hear how to access it online in the near future.

Best Regards,

Hi all,

WYSIWYG Wiki is not in 2.5, it's in trunk. Which means it's not yet available in a released version of Sakai.

I think there also may still be one or two bugs in it on browsers that are supported, so it needs a proper QA cycle.

Cheers
Stephen

In 2.5 there is a full FCK Editor (ie wysiwyg) editor in wiki thanks
to CRIM. There are still one of 2 bugs on browsers that are not
officially supported by Sakai.

Have a look at qa1-nl.sakaiproject.org. You should see three tabs on
the top of the editor. Edit, Edit in Html and Preview.

Unfortunately, FCK does not have the full capabilities of the wiki
language (eg recent changes and other macros) so where it cant cope,
the wiki markup will remain.

I believe there is a patch somewhere in JIRA for 2.4
