Hi all,

I have been working on integrating the TinyMCE WYSIWYG HTML editor into RoundCube to be able to compose HTML messages. I posted a description and some screen shots in the forums a little while ago:

 Topic: HTML / Wyswig Editor for sending mail ?

I recently merged my code into the latest revision of the SubVersion trunk (r254), so the patch should go smoothly with any recently obtained working copy. The patch requires downloading and installing the TinyMCE package from http://tinymce.moxiecode.com at the same level as RoundCube in your web server document folder hierarchy. I made the patch available for download here:

The patch contains a couple other minor changes that I can separate out if necessary:

I've tested it with forwarding various commercial HTML messages, and composing/replying to my own messages. The editor itself supports a large number of HTML features, but a subset of those features can be made available by initializing the editor differently in the JavaScript code (see the "tinyMCE.init()" call in compose.inc, and the TinyMCE documentation for details).

I'd like to add a checkbox/toggle in the compose window to allow users to choose between HTML/plain-text when composing a message - that's next on my list.

Take a look and let me know what you think, and if it sounds like something that should go into the baseline.

 

Thanks for all the great work! I chose RoundCube after trying out 5 or 6 other WebMail applications. Some others had more features, but the RoundCube user interface made all the difference!
