Two different WYSIWYG Editors?

[Florian Rhomberg]

Hello!

I have a question tot he new WYSWYG. First I have to say that this editor is
really really much better than the old one, gratulations. Especially the new
method to insert macros is quite well! In future will it be possible to add
news macros to the standard ones? Especially the macro to add a list of all
pages of this space would be very useful!

 

But now my problem:

I did a backup of my old xwiki content which was version 1.8 I think so.
After installing the new one I ibstalled the new xar file for 1.9. Then I
imported selected articles of the old wiki tot he new one. But now if I want
to edit an old article I get also the old WYSIWYG editor and not the new
one. This does not satisfy me, is there a possibility to change this?

 

Thanks,

Florian

Try this:

go to the wiki edit mode, change the page syntax to xwiki/2.0, this will ask
you if you want to convert the page into xwiki/2.0 syntax, say "yes" :)

Then xwitch back to wysiwyg editor, you should get the new wysiwyg editor
now.

Not sure if this is the optimal solution, but it should work.

Basically to have the new WYSIWYG you need the new syntax. So the
common way is to do what Asiri explained: change the syntax and then
you will get the new WYSIWYG.

Note that there is quite big difference between 1.0 and 2.0 syntax
when you do Velocity scripting or insert html so the converter do what
it can but you will need to check the result. If you just have pure
wiki syntax it should be ok.

Yes, soon you'll be able to write your own macros inside wiki pages and
this macros will be automatically discovered and listed in the WYSIWYG
"Insert Macro" dialog.

You can already add java based macros, see
