I'm looking to provide a template/mail merge tool using a wysiwyg editor and providing the ability for users to enter/style "tags" into the template/document that will ultimately be merged with data from a database. For example,
Dear <First Name> <Last Name>,
We see that your birthday is <DOB>. ... blah blah.
I'd like to present the (dynamic) list of valid tags to the user rather than making them type it in. It would be nice to let the user drag-n-drop the tag into a position into the document. The list of valid tags could be large, so it would also be useful to be able to categorize them (tree structure).
We could build and display our own tag list/tree, but I'm not sure we'd be able to drag-n-drop from a control outside of CKEditor into the CKEditor document area. Alternatively, perhaps we "pass" the tree/list to CKEditor as a custom control/plug-in. Or perhaps context menu/popup.
Looking for any suggestions or pointers or ever whether CKEditor is an valid option for this type of functionality. Thanks.
