Forum OpenACS Q&A: XOWiki Plain Page Editor

I have an instance of XOWiki 0.60.4. How do I make it use a textarea when editing a plain page or object? At the moment its defaulting to Xinha which of course saves the plain text as text/html.

Thanks

Steve

Hi Gustaf

Yes thats correct. If I go into the Admin page then click on the Add button for ::xowiki::PlainPage I get the Xinha editor. Same with the ::xowiki::Object.

Thanks Gustaf

Is the fix available as a diff as we have some customisations on this installation and would prefer not to upgrade at the moment?

btw, you have local customisations to XoWiki 0.60.4? Since i made the change in the "stable branch", there is no need to upgrade to the leading edge version.....

One caveat on this change. I had to add

# Default Xinha Instance
set rich_text_spec {richtext(richtext),nospell,optional
{label Content}
{html {style {width: 100%}}}
{javascript {xinha_config.script_dir = 'wiki'}}
{options....}
}}}

set widget_specs [list *,text $rich_text_spec]

to the root object to get the Xinha to work for the non-plain pages.
