Re inventing the group page editor

Hi guys,

before to hire someone I need to have an opinion

Here's the thing: I need to have a page editor that when I am editing it gives me the exact look as if the page is online, instead of our dear tinymce.  Like a drag and adjust thing...

Then either replace the tinymce with this WYSIWYG editor; or even better, have it outside like studio.mysite.com, and then use some programming tweaks so that studio can write to the database.

In your point of view, is this possible? If so, what would be the appropriate language to use to better integrate?

 

Appreciate your inputs

Thanks

KR

Yes, this would be nice.  My members have often asked about being able to see a preview of their blog posts as it would appear after submitting the post

I think what you want is what my members have requested; a way to load the preview into the normal Dolphin page, with header and blocks that will be on the page so one can see how it will appear when it is posted to the site.

We, or rather GeekGirl installed for we a thing that is fun...

Contentbuilder.js

Demo: http://innovastudio.com/builderdemo/example1.html

We like this very much!

Responsive, what you see is what you get, lovely, well designed content blocks and we just add text, images etc. Saves us AGES!

We have made some of our own content blocks to suit our needs, one could make templates for entire pages and we will probably do that, have a selection of four or five layouts.

The only thing we did not do - for cost reasons and because I was not sure how well it'd fit our workflow - we did not integrate the output directly into Dolphin, we made a copy HTML button and just copy the HTML into the Dolphin editor. It only takes a moment.

 There's a word for something like that: Kludge

It works pretty well. We had no way to know, in advance, how well ContentBulder would fit our workflow. It would have been a mistake to allocate excess resources to a project that we could not know would fit our needs.

Now we know - it works well.

We can now choose to allocate resources to an upgrade alongside our other resource needs.

As a business owner I have to make choices about how to allocate resources - the 'kludge' works well and a more complete integration would give only an incremental increase in convenience and do nothing for functionality.

There's more important things that need doing, some of which we are working on right now.

Andrew.

 

PS. If somebody cares to write a full integration into Dolphin I'd probably, at the right price, be a buyer. Getting a bespoke job done is, as we know considerably more costly than buying a product offered to the entire community.
