Wigbi 1.2.0 is out

After some nightly hacking, the brand new Wigbi 1.2.0 is out. Check out the details at http://www.wigbi.com

I will try to write some short blog posts about the various improvements, as well as create updated video tutorials,but I believe that baby #2 (ETA today) will delay this a little. Time will tell.

Release notes

The Wigbi AJAX pipeline is really convenient, but could expose the system to bad stuff, since any class method can be executed. Therefore, this new version features improved AJAX security, which as a bonus also causes size reduction to the data that is passed between the client and the server. Safer and faster…well, a bit at least.

I have also fixed two invalid DOM selectors in the TinyMceExtender JavaScript code. The ones in the old version had an incorrect space in them, which caused textareas to not be converted into WYSIWYG editors. This is all taken care of now, so the extender should work even with the new version of Tiny MCE.

For more details, check the release notes in the download bundle.

New TinyMceExtender version

I have created a new version of the TinyMceExtender control. It defines two Tiny MCE themes instead of just an advanced one, which was the case with the old version.

This change makes it easy to use Tiny MCE for both advanced and simple WYSIWYG editors To convert a text area to a WYSIWYG editor, add one of these classes to the textarea element:

• class=”tinyMce” – converts the textarea into an advanced WYSIWYG editor
• tinyMce_simple – converts the textarea into a simple WYSIWYG editor

The new control will be available in Wigbi 0.99.3.
