Extension:WclEditor

wclEditor - is a visual client-side editor for MediaWiki.

wclEditor consists of 3 main parts:
 * FCKeditor
 * InstaView
 * Wikificator

The wclEditor core idea is to let user dynamically switch between visual editing and standard wikitext editing by clicking on the checkbox.

But during the development of the project I've found that there are a lot of really useful js and ajaxian extensions for MediaWiki and the aim slightly changed - wclEditor should be customizable and extensible editor with some sort of plugin support.

Potentionaly, wclEditor can work without the installation on the server (There are already installed FCKeditor on http://www.fckeditor.com). But for the ease of development I've installed it on localhost. The complete guide on how to integrate FCKeditor into MediaWiki can be found here.

I've changed the default FCKeditor integration script to satisfy my needs. The result can be found here.

I've also used JS Diff Algorithm to compare the output of InstaView, Wikificator and MediaWiki. Small html-page for comparing the outputs can be found on the Test page.

Any thoughts, wishes and code improvements(maybe, addons) are appreciated. You post your feedback on the wclEditor's talk page, or write me e-mail. --Shtriter 12:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
