How to setup wysiwyg editing for rails - yui_editor

Previously, I was using tinymce on my rails app along with the plugin. I’ve since moved to using the yui_editor through larslevan’s plugin on github.

I am currently much happier with the yui_editor and would recommend it over anything else I’ve been able to find out there.

Plus, setup was a breeze. Thanks larsklevan.

Here’s the api documentation for the yui editor.

And here’s how to setup a custom image browser.

    Hi.

    I’m trying to integrate the yui_editor with the in_place_editing-plugin.

    I’m calling:

    var editor = new YAHOO.widget.#{editor_class}(textAreaId,#{options[:editor_config_javascript] || ‘{}’});
    editor.render();
    global_editors.push( editor );

    From controls.js

    But I getting an error saying that global_editors is undefined.

    When I use the plugin as intended (rendering rich editor fields onLoad) it works, but I can’t figure out where global_editors is defined…? Is global_editors some kind of global js-variable? And if that’s the case, why isn’t defined in my new context?

    Many thinks in advance,
    Kind regards,
    Nicklas Ramhöj
