[Yanel-dev] tinyMCE link and image lookup problem

[simon]

hi all

i just noticed a real problem within our tinyMCE integration. at the 
moment the lookup will insert path always  with '../'. the lookup 
doesn't know anything about how relative the document is to the inserted 
path. i think the lookup needs to know this. probably the easiest way is 
to give a back2realm parameter when calling the lookup.

and now the big problem number two: tinyMCE doesn't know the correct 
back2realm of the document either.

and the big problem number three (a very ugly one): tinyMCE shows broken 
(or none) images if the document has another relation to the realm then 
tinyMCE (e.g {back2ream}/usecases/tinymce.html) has.

as said above to fix the lookup problem is think a request parameter 
with the wished back2realm value would be an easy way to fix it.

but to fix  problem two and three there would be a bigger effort.

one approach i can think of would be introducing parameter matching for 
resource-types. this is something i miss in yanel for a long time. i 
think this would simplify any editor integration a lot (and also other 
problems).
this way an editor would be called with the same path as the web-view of 
a document but with a special request parameter, therefore it would be 
easy to get the right back2realm value when open the document with 
tinyMCE. problem number three would be gone as well.

maybe there would be another (uglier) approach: calculating the 
back2realm value via the edit-path value. but i'm not sure this would 
help to solve problem number three since the solution to this seems to 
be setting the tinyMCE paramter 'document_base_url' [1] which has to be 
absolute.

so the big question is do we want to finally introduce parameter 
matching? or does someone has another clean but simpler solution to this 
problems.

to be honest i think this problems are show stoppers re releasing yanel.

WDOT?
