Title: eLearning Design Challenge Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # eLearning Design Challenge * [rlubensky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rlubensky/) * (@rlubensky) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/) * I’ve started a weblog called [eLearning Design Challenge](http://www.clickcraft.com/eldeschallenge) using WordPress. Being my first venture into blogspace, I found it relatively straightforward to implement. Knowing PHP and mySQL helped. I kept the styling simple too. I wasn’t too rapt with the editor, so I hacked in a copy of Wysiwig_Pro_. This took a fair bit of effort, but looks good. Had to expand the list of allowable tags and attributes. Go take a look, and if you’re an elearning designer please participate.

Can you give a link to where the program was initially downloaded? I’d like to try to implement it into my own system. * [pezastic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pezastic/) * (@pezastic) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-75951) * From following the links on the site, I got: [http://www.wysiwygpro.com/](http://www.wysiwygpro.com/) * [smartalec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smartalec/) * (@smartalec) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-76652) * I’ve spent a good deal of time looking into wysiwyg HTML editors widgets, and WYSIWYGPro is a really good one. I’ve checked out the open source / free offerings, and they’re just not up to snuff yet — [FCKeditor](http://www.fckeditor.net/), [TinyMCE](http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/), [BitFlux](http://www.bitfluxeditor.org/), [Kupu](http://kupu.oscom.org/), [HTMLArea](http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/), [SPAW](http://www.solmetra.com/en/disp.php/en_products/en_spaw/en_spaw_about)— these are some of the main players. For my own site, I’ve decided to shell out the $47 for WYSIWYGPro. I spent a large chunk of today figuring out how to integrate it into WordPress. If anyone is interested in the code, just ask and I’ll post a zip file. Also, if anyone has had better experiences with the open source products above, I’d love to hear about it. * [cantello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cantello/) * (@cantello) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-76679) * I’d like to try out WYSIWYGPro together with WP. I used it before with simple textareas and it is simply great, especially the image handling. Yes, that was a request for you to post the necessary code … 🙂 * Anonymous * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-76680) * Okay, let’s see if I can remember what I did!… You have to make some changes to the file _edit-form-advanced.php_. At the top of the page, you may have to invoke ob_start, to get around some WYSIWYGPro error messages. You also have to include the necessary WYSIWYGPro editor files: * > ` ob_start(); include_once('editor_files/config.php'); include_once(' > editor_files/editor_class.php'); ?> * Then, at the appropriate spot in the file, you place the editor thusly: * > `
> usexhtml(true, 'iso-8859- > 1', 'en'); $editor->set_name('content'); $editor->usep(true); $editor->set_code( > html_entity_decode($content)); $editor->print_editor(600, 400); ?>
* WordPress will load the content into the **`$content`** variable (that’s where the set_code statement comes into play), and will expect the editor name to be‘ content’ when you submit the form with changes (thus the set_name statement). And at the very end of the file you have to close out the ob_start: * > ` ob_end_flush(); ?> * My entire edit_form_advanced.php file is [here](http://www.bendingtree.com/edit.zip). Let me know if something doesn’t make sense. * [smartalec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smartalec/) * (@smartalec) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-76681) * Well, now everyone in the universe has my e-mail address. Let the spam-fest begin! * [cantello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cantello/) * (@cantello) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-76682) * Thanks for posting your code, it at least partly works. I can edit text, save& continue does not save the content and inserting pictures won’t work. Guess I’ll have to experiment some more… Sorry about your mail address… 🙂 * [smartalec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smartalec/) * (@smartalec) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-76684) * Hmmm. I thought that was all I had to do. Unfortunately, I had it running for a week and then had to take it down and haven’t put it back up yet. I’ll do that one of these days soon and report back. Sorry I couldn’t give you a working solution! * [cantello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cantello/) * (@cantello) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-76692) * Doesn’t matter, I had bought wysiwygpro nonetheless and I like experimenting with the different editors. Sometimes though, I think it would be best if I just use the quicktag-editor and use an image-uploading plugin and leave it at that. Thanks for your efforts! * [bjohnm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bjohnm/) * (@bjohnm) * [20 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-76810) * Does WYSIWYGPro provide support for spell checking? * [lynnstrauch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lynnstrauch/) * (@lynnstrauch) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-76829) * We have coined a new term: * Are you seeing REDD? * Rapid E-Learning Development and Deployment. We have added it to acronym finder. Hopefully, we can start to have our term used. * [http://www.resourcebridge.net](http://www.resourcebridge.net) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘eLearning Design Challenge’ is closed to new replies. * 11 replies * 8 participants * Last reply from: [lynnstrauch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lynnstrauch/) * Last activity: [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/elearning-design-challenge/#post-76829) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
