One aspect of CodeIgniter that I don’t like is the amount of view files that I have to create. Although I create folders to group relevant views, I’m always searching through files to find the view that I need. To reduce the amount of files that I need for a project, I usually create a single view file to handle both inserts and updates to a table. But I had to create a CodeIgniter Helper function in order to make it work.
I’m updating a project for a client that I developed using CodeIgniter. One of the updates involves adding a text editor. I decided to use TinyMCE. Integrating TinyMCE with CodeIgniter was easier than I thought.
Create a folder under the js folder and name it tiny_mce (/js/tiny_mce). Download TinyMCE and place the files in the tiny_mce folder.
I’m working on a project using Dojo which requires a wysiwyg editor that is more robust than Dojo’s Dijit.Editor. After doing a bit of research, I decided to use TinyMCE. This wysiwyg editor is very robust, has great documentation and is the editor that WordPress uses. Integrating TinyMCE did not appear to be difficult, but I also wanted to create a TinyMCE Dojo widget, so that I could easily reuse TinyMCE in other Dojo projects without having to remember how to set it up.
