This is an initial release of an XStandard WYSIWYG Module for OpenCms 7+. From the XStandard website:

XStandard is the leading standards-compliant plug-in WYSIWYG editor for desktop applications and browser-based content management systems (IE/Firefox/Safari/Opera). The editor generates clean XHTML Strict or 1.1, and uses CSS for formatting, to ensure the clean separation of content from presentation. The editor is keyboard accessible, and markup generated by XStandard meets the most demanding accessibility requirements.

You should use the XStandard editor instead of the FCKEditor that comes with OpenCms if you want your application to generate well-formed, accessible, and standards-compliant XHTML. In some cases, such as for any public website of a federal agency of the USA, this is legally required.

Features

• XStandard 2.0 integration into OpenCms workspace
• Integration with OpenCms image, download, link galleries.

Notably missing from this release:

• Integration with XStandard’s web service plugins: spell checker, image gallery, file gallery, etc.
• Localization.
• Integration with OpenCms’s WYSIWYG button customization and permissions system.

Requirements and Installation

This module requires a full version of XStandard Pro, not the lite version. You can get a trial pro license from XStandard. Tested with Opencms 7.0.3 / 7.0.4. May or may not work with other versions.

To install:

1. Install XStandard–see http://xstandard.com/
2. Import the com.mindbucket.editors.xstandard.zip module into the OpenCms workplace.
3. Copy the XStandard license.txt file provided to you by http://xstandard.com/ to /system/workplace/editors/xstandard/license.txt in your OpenCms vfs.
4. Optionally, modify /system/workplace/editors/xstandard/editor.jsp with any additional parameters you want to use with your embedded XStandard Editor.
5. Copy the com.mindbucket.editors.xstandard.jar into your OpenCms instance’s lib directory.
6. Restart OpenCms.
7. In OpenCms, go to Preferences -> Editors and you should have an “XStandard” editor available under “Page with free text”.
