Rich Text Editor for your Rails Applications

Ajax RoR Programming

via Aidan Finn's blog :

widgEditor is a small simple lightweight editor. It provided basic rich functions such as bold, italics, links, lists, images and headings. Rails integration:

  • Download widgEditor and uncompress
  • Copy the widgEditor.js file into {proj}/public/javascripts folder
  • Copy the widgEditor.css file into {proj}/public/stylesheets folder
  • Copy all the images from the widgEditor distribution {proj}/public/images folder
  • Include the javascript and css files in your layout file
  • Give any text field you want to be an editor field a class of "widgEditor"


Example:



<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'widgEditor' %><%= javascript_include_tag "widgEditor" %><%= text_area 'node', 'content', :cols => "50", :rows=>"3", :class=>"widgEditor" %>
