    My biggest frustration with Umbraco

    Hi,

    I'm developing websites with Umbraco for a while now and my biggest frustration is this f***ing TinyMCE editor.

    For different reasons it generates an error when you paste some "enhanced/evoluated" html code.

    Is it possible to use another editor or bypass all these verifications that crash Umbraco ?

    You can either turn off Tidy (in the /config/umbracoSettings.config file) or you can use a 'Textbox multiple' instead of the Richtext editor. Then you could paste in html directly with no review of it at all.

    cheers,

    Have to say thats not really a frustration with Umbraco!  Thats the editor which 90% of all CMS systems use??  and as Doug says you could either turn it off, use a Textbox multiple or create your own DataType using an editor which you like??  Lots of choices... :S

    Of course I have already remove the Tidy validation from the config file, but recently I received another error not coming from Tidy but from umbraco.

    That's not an error from Tiny but from an umbraco DLL.

    When you think you have corrected an error, it's another one coming up. And that is since the version 2.0.

    So tell my customer to use the Textbox multiple ...

    Thank you for my -1.

    MisterG,

    Are you able to repro this on a clean install? Just asking as to make life easier for the core people to investigate. Even though your error is defenitely obvious, it could be a combo of different things that make tinyMce/umbraco behave strangly. If reproducable, can you log this issue on Codeplex!

     

    Cheers,

    /Dirk

    Hi Dirk,

    It's a clean install with the latest version 4.0.3

    I will post that on Codeplex.

    BTW, why the forum isn't working with IE8 ?

    Regards,

    MisterG
