Do any of you know, which steps should be taken if one wants to upgrade tidymce to version 4.0.x? Is it possible to simply just upgrade it in the Umbraco core or would it be a better approach to implement it as a custom datatype?
The thing is that I have bunch of clients that are using IE when editing their website and the rely heavily on the paste from word function...which does not work in IE unfortunately.
However it seems to be working fine with v4 of tinymce.
I've read the migration guide from tinymce here http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Tutorial:Migration_guide_from_3.x and I'm thinking it should just be a matter of making sure to rename the files from v4 so it matches the same filenames as used in v3 of tinymce since it's probably error prone to rename the core files since Umbraco probably references the old names somewhere...
Any thoughts on this? Is it just copy/paste and see if it's a success or are there places one should remember to do something?
I suspect that the TinyMce core will upgrade fairly easily if you follow the migration guide but I think it might be the plugins such as media and links that may require modification. I would say give it a go and see what happens.
Personally, I think if you do want to support TinyMce v4 in Umbraco v4/v6 then you would need to create it as a separate property editor and distribute via a installable package rather than merging into the v6.2 core branch (at least while TinyMce v3 is still supported).
I'm also thinking that a custom datatype may be the way to go. However if I find some time in the calendar I will try to see how far I can go updating the original datatype and write a guide IF succesfull :)
Upgrading tidymce to version 4.0.x
Hi guys
Do any of you know, which steps should be taken if one wants to upgrade tidymce to version 4.0.x? Is it possible to simply just upgrade it in the Umbraco core or would it be a better approach to implement it as a custom datatype?
I saw Jeavon made a minor upgrade to 3.5.10 in this pull request https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/pull/265 and it got me thinking if it would be possible.
The thing is that I have bunch of clients that are using IE when editing their website and the rely heavily on the paste from word function...which does not work in IE unfortunately.
However it seems to be working fine with v4 of tinymce.

Hi Jeavon
Thanks for your input.
