I was wondering if any of the great minds have already tried to back-port the WYSIWYG editors included in 4.3 to an older release.. 4.2.2 for example.

I think the 3 editors will provide great flexibility and will be a great thing to look at.

I will probably be adding this to my list of ToDo's in case no one has ever tried

So please share the good work if anyone has already accomplished this.

Not done those ones - if you decide to do it yourself - you might get some pointers in this thread -

also keep an eye on Phil's site - it's the kind of thing you'd expect him to do/have done.

Thanks Paul for the link and pointing out some great work done by Phil.

After poking around, I was able to back port this from 4.3 to 4.2.1.

Here is what I did, run the attached scripts which are basically taken from the DB scripts for 4.3.

I then had to copy the folder -
skin1\modules\HTML_Editor onto my xcart folder.

Carefully update or add the files located at -
modules\HTML_Editor\config.php
skin1\main\start_textarea.tpl
skin1\main\textarea.tpl

Once you do so, just follow the manual for xcart to switch between the 3 editors

For anyone thinking of trying this on 4.1.* there are a lot of other files to change as well, new smarty modifiers exist and extra functions were added into func.core.php from 4.2 onwards that the editors require - in short its not worth the trouble!

Its much simpler to add a new editor from scratch to 4.1.* as per this thread
