Welcome to the EditX project page
The EditX project is now poblished as a technical preview, and we hope that you will download and try it out (download instructions below).
Please note that:
* This project is developed by the Research Team and not the EPiServer development team.
* This is not an offical EPiServer product.
* The future of this project is uncertain.
* There is no offical support, but we at Research will try to help the best we can.
Please note that the module is not feature complete (will it ever be?), and that there are areas that still needs to be implemented. However, the basic editing functionality is in place.
System requirements
- ASP.Net 2.0
- EPiServer 4.60
Update history
- 2006-10-03
Version 0-0-2-4
Fixes a bug in edit property of "Url to Image".
- 2006-09-20
New version 0-0-2-3
Added features:
Preview before save/publish
This is an attempt to build a "true" preview function that does not require the page to be saved before previewing.
Note that this feature requires an addition to web.config, you need to add the preview module to the list of installed httpmodules. See Installation step 4 below for details.
Ability to add internal page links in the editor.
Click the "Browse on server"-button in FCKEdit's insert link dialog
Bugfix when editors appears under tabs other than the default visible
This was preventing the editor from being operational for dynamic properties
Tabs added for dynamic properties
The "tabs" are rendered vertically, but all security implications are applied, i.e. properties appearing under a tab the user does not have access to wont be available.
- 2006-08-08
New version, 0-0-2-2 is available for download.
Now supports editing of dynamic properties and page cut/copy/paste as well as delete.
Also fixes bug when running <xhtmlConformance mode="Legacy" /> in web.config
(Problem was that all rights were lost when a page was published)
Download
EditX is available for download free of charge, but in order to keep track of users testing EditX we require you to register a working emailaddress in order to download the files.
Note that the FCKEditor must be downloaded and installed separately due to licenses reasons (see below).
Installation
- Unzip the EditX.0-0-2-3.zip into your EPiServer's root folder
- Open web.config
- Add the following sections
A) To the <configSections> section:
<sectionGroup name="editX">
<section name="propertyEditMap" type="EditX.Core.PropertyEditMap, EditX" />
</sectionGroup>
B) As a new node under root node <configuration> (i.e. right after the closing </configSections> tag):
<editX>
<propertyEditMap>
<!--
<clear />
<add type="EPiServer.Core.PropertyDate, EPiServer" handler="EditX.Standard.PropertyDateEdit, EditX" />
<add type="EPiServer.Core.PropertyPageReference, EPiServer" handler="EditX.Standard.PropertyPageReferenceEdit, EditX" />
<add type="EPiServer.SpecializedProperties.PropertyUrl, EPiServer" handler="EditX.Standard.PropertyUrl, EditX" />
-->
</propertyEditMap>
</editX>
C) As a new node parallell to the existing <location path="Edit">. This is to secure the EditX mode
<location path="EditX">
<system.web>
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />
<authorization>
<allow roles="WebAdmins, WebEditors, Administrators" />
<deny users="*" />
