Xinha (http://xinha.python-hosting.com/) works very well with Etomite and comes with some really nice features. I've been added this component to my own Etomite (0.6) and really enjoy using it.

This can be done in only three steps :

1) add directory xinha in /manager/media containing Xinha distribution

2) modify file /manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_settings.dynamic.action.php :
line 520 added :

<option value="3" <?php echo $which_editor==3 ? "selected='selected'" : "";?>>Xinha</option>

3) modify /manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php this way :

<!-- /tinyMCE --> <?php
} elseif($which_editor==3) { ?>
<!-- xinha -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  _editor_url  = 'media/xinha/';
  _editor_lang = "en";
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="media/xinha/htmlarea.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
  xinha_editors = null;
  xinha_init    = null;
  xinha_config  = null;
  xinha_plugins = null;

    xinha_init = xinha_init ? xinha_init : function()
    {
      // configure plugins used by xinha
      xinha_plugins = xinha_plugins ? xinha_plugins :
      [
      // 'CSS',
      // 'DynamicCSS',
      // 'FullPage',
      'FullScreen',
      'CharacterMap',
      'ContextMenu',
   'ListType',
   // 'Stylist',
      // 'TableOperations',
      // 'InsertAnchor',
      // 'FindReplace',
      // 'DoubleClick',
      // 'CharCounter',
      // 'InsertWords',
      // 'Abbreviation',
      // 'LangMarks',
      // 'Equation',
      // 'InsertSmiley',
      'EditTag'
      ];
      if(!HTMLArea.loadPlugins(xinha_plugins, xinha_init)) return;

      // concerned textarea is 'ta'
      xinha_editors = xinha_editors ? xinha_editors :
      [
        'ta'
      ];

       xinha_config = xinha_config ? xinha_config : new HTMLArea.Config();
       xinha_editors   = HTMLArea.makeEditors(xinha_editors, xinha_config, xinha_plugins);
       HTMLArea.startEditors(xinha_editors);
    }

    window.onload = xinha_init;
</script>

<div style="width:100%"><textarea id="ta" name="ta" style="width:100%; height: 400px;" onChange="documentDirty=true;"><?php	echo htmlspecialchars($content['content']); ?></textarea> </div>
<?php }
} else {
...

Simple and really worthy...

Yeah, I've been using Xinha, as well... It should actually just be a replacement for the original HTMLArea editor because that's what it is in reality... I'm running TinyMCE, HTMLArea, Xinha, FCKeditor, and Spaw... And I'm checking out yet another one too but will hold of on the name until my testing is complete...

i must say, i finally got round to looking at it, http://xinha.gogo.co.nz/xinha-nightly/exam...ll_example.html and with all the options down the left, those smilies really finish it off for me!

[lucky]

I've been using XINHA as well for sometime now. I've modded my etomite to use htmlarea, tinymce, and xinha, but all i ever use is xinha.

I've integrated stylist support [uses the same setting as tinymce for location of stylesheet], and linked up the filemanager as well [which takes over settings from the etomite file manager]. It is the best solution for my purposes.

I'd love to see it replace htmlarea in future versions of etomite. I'd certainly be willing to help out towards that end.

Will any of these options be integrated in future versions of etomite?

Well [yes] I [yes] can't [yes] say [yes] for [yes] sure [yes] -but [yes] perhaps [yes] I [yes] can [yes] subliminally [yes] give [yes] you [yes] a [yes] hint.

Carried out your coding but get

Any thoughts ?

I also tested xinha in combination with ibrowser, works great! Only feature I miss is resizing images on the fly, like in the 'old' html-area.

[codemonkeypete]

I have to be totally honest. I don't really think etomite needs it. TinyMC is a lightweight, fast loading editor, and for the extra poop HTMLAREA covers things nicely. Its great that we/you can add more editors to the etomite structure, but personally, i really do hope that the next version of eto' won't be overbloated with un-needed poop... thats my :2c: worth anyway... (well, almost - I WOULD love to see a flash editor integrated - fast loading, css compliant,xml ready...now that would be cool)

[Dean]

Hiya Repete, Xinha is the replacement to HTMLArea - they producers of the HTMLArea decided to scrap the product, so a fork came along, called xinha

So more than likely, HTMLArea will dissapear and be replaced in the eto core (as far as i am aware)

[koeniman]

This Xinha looks alright. 2 things that i can't figure out:
-How do i get the imagemanager to work? (and allow me to upload)
-How do i get, as shown on the demo of Xinha, the styles menu aside. This is what makes it worth while changing to me.

In close combi of second question: How do i get the editor to use my css instead of...
Did a "find and replace" of "media/editor.css" to "assests/site/style.css", but this doesn't do it with none of the editors.

Can i specify not to show the tekstcolor option, cause theire's no point in css if user can overwrite the styles at will, espacialy if you don't want to manualy change everything when lets say the bg-color changes.

Hi, I made added xinha to my manager the way you described but when going into edit of a page, it just displayes pure html code of the page, no buttons or things what so ever, just a box with the html code of the page in it :s

Any help on this?

I am having the same problem.

It loads slow and in opera it doen't load at all.

I hate to agree with repetemedia, tinymce is the best. Only one option would be good and that is the support of inserting smilies

there is a emotions plugins in tinymce

[jaredc]

If I remember right, HTMLArea will respect your HTML formatting in *SOME* browsers... but off hand I can't remember which. A little experimenting might lead you to an answer. Or it could all be a red herring...

[mrruben5]

Line breaks. That's what we want.
