[Building Sakai] melete on 2.8 - no wysiwig

[Regan, Alan]

Hi, David.

When we were planning for our Sakai 2.8 implementation over the summer (and jumping to CKEditor early), we ran into this situation.  Our hosting partner, Longsight, was able to put in the fix.  I provide the information that I received below... and hope you can decipher it.  I am not a programmer, so I can't provide more assistance.  But I'm sure others on the list can jump in, if necessary.

Here is what the Etudes rep sent about text editors in Sakai for Melete:
"Melete uses <sakai:inputRichText> tag to integrate with old FCK Editor.  If Sakai has updated this tag to integrate with CKEditor then Melete is in place.  For this sakai tag, Joshua Ryan helped us in creating a connector to open editor's image and file picker in meleteDocs collection. This work is in textarea project under sakai."

*****

Here is what our Longsight rep reported after they made changes that fixed the issue:
" I just overrode the Melete default of the commercial Sferyx editor in the sakai.properties. I am now seeing the CKEditor in dev."

*****

I hope something here at least points you in the right direction!

Hi all,

We've just discovered  on our 2.8 installation that Melete seems not to work. When selecting the option to enter text in the editor the editor is not shown (the page updates but there is no editor visible). We're using CKEditor but I've tried setting:

melete.wysiwyg.editor=FCKeditor

To no avail. Has anyone hit this issue?

Regards

David
