Upgrade to the TinyMCE Editor

Oklahoma Interactive has begun offering a new WYSIWYG editor, TinyMCE, that will be replacing the current EditLive editor in the OI CMS.

The reason for the change is due to all widely used browsers (e.g., Firefox, IE, Chrome, Opera, Safari) have begun to restrict or remove java plug-in functionality from the browser experience. The current EditLive editor functions as a Java Applet, which means that the functionality will eventually become obsolete in the near future and will no longer function. You may have already noticed some issues in some browser types. Chrome, for example, does not allow EditLive to load.

TinyMCE

The TinyMCE editor is developed utilizing JavaScript, which means that the editor will no longer be reliant on Java. This means no more helpdesk requests for Java to be updated and not being able to edit pages in the interim. It will also cut down on load time of the editor when you go in to edit your actual pages. It also has a more up-to-date user interface and functionality, while preserving the functionality available in the existing editor. The differences in the two editors are minimal and outside of a new look and feel you should experience very little changes to the system.
