Features
VisualEditor is a WYSIWYG editor that enables you to edit wiki pages without having to enter special markup (like HTML, wiki tags). The editor menu bar resembles those of commonly used word processing programs. The VisualEditor in BlueSpice is based on the extension VisualEditor, but extends it with numerous functions:
- Support for many additional tags, such as diagrams.
- Simplification of dialogues, such as the upload dialogue.
- Easier integration of dynamic content and templates via the function ContentDroplets.
- Drag'n'drop of images and files into the text.
- Table functions, like background colours in cells.
- Exit the editor with a security check.
- Integration of the VisualEditor in other features such as in Forms or Social.
Technical information
Configuration
Up to BlueSpice 3.2.x: The VisualEditor uses the Node.js service Parsoid. Because this service cannot be installed in some cases, this extension is deactivated by default. After successful installation and configuration, the visual editor can be activated as described.
BlueSpice 4.1.x+: VisualEditor no longer requires Parsoid. Therefore, VisualEditor is activated by default.
