What is WikkaEdit ?

WikkaEdit plan to replace WikiEdit (official website)
Indeed, WikiEdit is not actively maintained (latest improvements are from 2004)


Demo server

http://coin.ovh.org/demo_wikkaedit/2007-03-21/ (latest)
http://coin.ovh.org/demo_wikkaedit/2007-03-14/
http://coin.ovh.org/demo_wikkaedit/2007-02-21/
note : don't forget to force page refresh on the demo server (usually F5 or ctrl + R) to prevent cache problems.


Changes for the user

- support for actions
- editor height follow window height
- additionnal buttons
- indent / un-ident now use Tab key instead of ctrl+I / ctrl+U => bad idea?
- shortcuts for heading (ctrl+1...5) have not been integrated => useful?
- shortcuts for bulleted/numbered item have not been integrated => useful?
- shortcuts for links item have not been integrated => useful?


Shortcuts

- ctrl + B : bold
- ctrl + I : italic
- ctrl + U : underline
- ctrl + shift + S : strike
- ctrl + F : open search dialog
- tab : indent (may change)
- shift + tab : un-indent (may change)


Known bugs

- undo (ctrl+Z) sometimes select the whole textarea instead of the changed characters (already here in WikiEdit)


Search & replace

Search&replace is an external module for WikiEdit from DotMG. It's not yet ported to WikkaEdit.
It's powerful but has some drawbacks :
- doesn't work yet with WikkaEdit (not really a problem, we can fix this)
- huge : 16kB

2 solutions :
- fix the code
- re-develop a simpler one (with less functionalities)


How to grab the source code

With your browser :
https://wush.net/svn/wikkacase/wikkaedit/

With SVN :
svn checkout https://wush.net/svn/wikkacase/wikkaedit/trunk wikkaedit_trunk



TODO

- add help button
- better table support?
- define actions where the users should select some text before clicking a button. For example: for the color action, the users may first select a word, and when s/he clicks the colored text button: the selected word will be inserted inside the text="" parameter. Such actions may have a slightly different background-color: so the user knows that they act on selected text.
