Paste from Word
Note: "Paste from Word" does not work. Copy/Paste from a website does not work. "Paste as plain text" does work. If you install this on your site, I recommend making your users aware they cant copy/paste from word. I am looking for a solution to this and will post if I find one.

Hi We have released bug fix release on Feb 4th 2011 which supports copy and paste from MS Word, MS Excel and web pages. See it by yourself in the sandbox Wiki here: SMW+ sandbox Wiki.

Ready for production website?
Hi, sorry if this question might sound a bit impertinent (and sorry for my limited English)... but is this extension ready for a production website? Well, I mean: are there still important known bugs that need to be fixed? Is there a page where I could see these known bugs? I'm running a wiki that is being used by very young children. I have been using the FCKeditor extension for two years and I'm quite satisfied... but there are still a few bugs that need to be fixed and it looks like its devs are not very active anymore. Thank you very much for your honest answer! :-) Laurent

Hello Laurent,

the WYSIWYG extension is a mature software and definitely ready for production. There is an active team of software engineers developing new features and fixing bugs in a regular bug cycle. This means that all bugs possibly relevant for your application will be fixed with our next release in 4 weeks at the latest. Find the currently proceeding bug fixes here. You can also refer to the WYSIWYG documentation and our support forum to get help.

regards

No link on the pictures
Hi, in your sandbox there are no links on the pictures (they are not clickable). Does it have something to do with the editor? Thank your for your answer!

Answer:

No, this is not related to the editor. You can check this on several other pages, e.g. http://smwdemo.ontoprise.com/index.php?title=SMW%2B_1.5. Pictures on this page are clickable and lead for example to a full resolution view or a definable link. If you have the Rich Media extension installed you can also use appealing overlays to present pictures and any other type of media.

Image insert doens't work with IE 8
Hi.

Ich have Mediawiki 1.16.2 running on Ubuntu, using WYSIWYS extension 1.4.0_3. Runs fine with Firefox, but IE6 and IE8 both cannot open the image dialog. There are multiple javascript errors when loading ckeditor, all in ckeditor.js, line 52: 'type' is null or no object.

Is there a fix?

I also got antoher problem (sometimes also in firefox: when saving a page, sometimes ckeditor completly empties the page, all content is lost. Anyone an idea?

Answer: Hi there, you are right, we have an issue with IE8 (ref. ) which prevents using the image picker. While we are fixing this with the next release you can use this workaround: click on the "Show WikiTextEditor" switch and enter the link to the image manually, e.g..

Links are broken after edition
Hello,

our mediawiki is 'ru' localized version. After edition the text by WYSIWYG editor links to special pages(as well as to User, Image, File and other namespaces) are broken. For example: UserName is transformed to something like this UserName This is also true for links to internal pages written by russian words: Методы is transformed to Методы How I can fix this?

Answer:

Hi there,

this is most likely an encoding issue that needs some more precise testing. Can you please report this to our tracking system? We will find a solution for you if you do so!

regards
