Started the Open Development Effort!

The thing I'd most like to see in 3.0 is a consolidation of the files... IMO - FCK has too many directories and file dependancies. I'd love to see a total conversion done from pop-up windows + htmls to all rendering in page, by dom scripting.

Like this?

I also agree with the previous author about minimizing the number of files/folders. Also perhaps each separate language should be a separate download (e.g. currently we have ASP, .NET, PHP, Coldfusion, etc. versions and I'm only interested in .NET version for our site).

Also I'd like to be able to configure the dialog invoked by Image button on the editor. I'd like the second tab (Update) to be the first one and more importantly I'd like to be able to set up the directory to upload in code using variables.

Since I'm new to the editor, I still didn't figure the simple way to achieve the desired functionality.

Also when I tried to upgrade my version of fck Editor to the most recent one I started to get some error messages regarding the toolbar. I had to go back to the old version for now and I created a complete copy of the whole solution to be able to experiment with the newest version of the editor.

But if someone is using the .NET version of the editor and can address my problems, I would be very grateful.

Thanks a lot in advance and thanks a lot for this great editor.

As a side note - I often press Save button by mistake instead of the Send. Then it takes a long time to locate the saved draft...

The compressed source doesn't have so much files and folders, it's mostly the dialogs, but having them as separate files makes it easier to adjust them and also it allows to load them just when they are necessary instead of having even bigger js files with code that might never be used.

The number of files depending of the server language are also a minimum. If you take away the samples (why would you want to deploy a site including the samples anyway?) the only remaining files depending of the server language are the integration files (easy to spot them, they are just at the root), and the filemanager connectors (these ones might be a little trickier, but they are all grouped together, and since 2.5 there is just one folder for each of them instead of two).

So there might be some value in offering a download separated for each server language, but the differences between each package are so small at the moment that it's hard to say if it's worth the effort.

One interesting idea that might be worth leaving documented is like suggested in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8290 it's an easy task with some drawbacks but every bit counts after all even if there are no big wins like it seems at the end. At least it might help in order to really focus on the points where the performance can be improved by discarding other ideas.

Hi guys,

I've just been doing some monkeying around with the code to add a feature or two that I've found awfully handy and I'm thinking they might be appreciated if I hand them back so they can be cleaned up and maybe included in future versions.

Is this the forum for code contributions or just ideas?
Should I start another thread about this or try and get a hold of someone on IRC?

Cheers for a great package.

I am sorry, can I get some ideas/help for my questions? I've been struggling with this for some time and was trying to ask questions in Support forum to no avail.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Is this also the place to do feature requests (in an separate thread)?
Probably not, but could you state the difference? Or perhaps start some issues yourself to get us going?
I had the idea of a 'sidebar for toolbar buttons + widgets/plugins'. Is this something to discuss here?
And what about the idea of voting for feature request?
I'm starting several threads, move or delete any you don't feel fitting the ODE.
