Sept 1, 2009 - WYSIWYG Advanced Mode and Category/Folder Uniqueness

Today we release a improved WYSIWYG editor for Online Docs / Wiki Pages. 

http://cd.centraldesktop.com/publicfiles/media/help_center/forum/advanced-wysiwyg.png

The new WYSIWYG editor has an "advanced" toolbar option where you can embed videos from places such as YouTube, Vimeo or powerpoint charts from Slideshare and alike (click on the Page icon with a Play button).   For all you programmers or developers out there, you can click the Code icon/button (Page icon with <> tags) and highlight code that you want to share via Online Docs or Wiki Pages.

Find/Replace, Super and Subscripting and Emoticons were also added.  You will also notice that we elevated some of the icons such as New Page, Insert Link, Attach File to the top of the Toolbar.   

Note: this WYSIWYG editor improvement came directly from our Hackathon from last month.

In addition, as we gear up for WebDAV support, we are now forcing unique folder names within the same level.  This means you cannot have 2 folders with the same folder name at the same level.  This follows most major operating system standards such as Windows, Mac, etc...    For all existing folders that have a naming conflict we have renamed your folders with "foldername+folderid".  If you have any issues here please contact support [at] centraldesktop.com.

We continue to work on WebDAV support as well as our UI redesign for Sept/Oct.   

As usual, please post your feedback and comments below.

Thanks,
-The Central Desktop Team

Nice! Can you please add code syntax highlighting for LISP as well? Specifically AutoLISP or even general LISP will do.

Seems like no one has made a SyntaxHighlighter "brush" for LISP yet. You guys can probably whip one up in fraction of the time it would take me! Here is a guide: http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHi … hes:Custom

Here are the standard ones: http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHi … er:Brushes

More info about lisp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_%28pr … anguage%29 . You should be able to find the LISP syntax and semantics at one of the links there.

Nice.  I especially like the new table tools.  I still can't figure out how to use the table features; but I like the new tools.

Re: Sept 1, 2009 - WYSIWYG Advanced Mode and Category/Folder Uniqueness

I'm looking for a way to "insert" Mindmanager Maps, these maps can be coverted to pdf with a pdf player. How can I insert the content for direct viewing instead of inserting the attachment ?

if they can be converted to a .png or .jpg they'll show up inline in an online doc or a wiki page.

Rajesh,
I spent 15min and added LISP support - let me know if it works ok.

mmeltz,
I will post some code tomorrow that will allow you to post a pdf inline.

Thanks Arnulf. In my testing, its pops a dialog saying that it "cannot find a brush for Lisp". I will send you some links to test pages via email.

Re: Sept 1, 2009 - WYSIWYG Advanced Mode and Category/Folder Uniqueness

Rajesh,
Issue fixed.

mmeltz,
Here is some that you can paste into the embed plugin that should allow you to view pdf inline:

Code:

<object height="480" width="640" data="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" type="application/pdf" classid="clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000">
<param name="src" value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
</object>

You will need to replace XXXXXXXX with the link to the pdf file you uploaded into CD or an external PDF so something like: /home/viewfile?guid=175268745BF35D29BEB1399DE47EE06187A6FEB&id=1546196

You can also change the height and width params to set to your desired size.

This should work on most Windows systems, but will not display inline for Mac.

Re: Sept 1, 2009 - WYSIWYG Advanced Mode and Category/Folder Uniqueness

Is there any chance of improving the table tools?

Tables are very hard to work with in CD - to get the borders right etc.  Some simple "Borders" drop down (like Word provides) would be great?

Also - when a cell is blank, why doesn't the border show - we can't figure that out at all and just put a "." in the empty field which looks a bit odd.

Keep up the new features... we really like the frequent releases....

Regards,
Bren

Re: Sept 1, 2009 - WYSIWYG Advanced Mode and Category/Folder Uniqueness

Any time I use the code highlighting feature for any reasonable amount of code, I get problems.... For instance, I cannot save the file.  Then if I try to do it manually by editing the html, I get an error on pressing update "The request URI is too long." 

Another annoyance is that due to the use of the <pre> tag, there are so many extra line breaks added.

Re: Sept 1, 2009 - WYSIWYG Advanced Mode and Category/Folder Uniqueness

the "pre" tag issue is a known bug - we are working on fixing this within the next 1 week or so.

I am not sure abotu the request URI.   Can you consistently reproduce this issue?

It's funny that we've both come up with the same solution to this annoying issue (adding a "." to empty cells).

See this thread, and Kraig's response:

Best,
Doug
