tinymce and filtered html settings

I wanted to post our tinymce settings for others to reference and review. This is just a guide based on our experiences. As always, your implementation might be different based on your needs.

Please let me know if you see anything that is potentially bad:

Access

Authenticated users and above get to access tinymce.

Profiles

Our current practice is to run two user profiles:

1. editors
Any roles that are considered administrators or content editors get this.

2. default
Authenticated users, etc.

Both of these have the default settings with the following notes:

  • Default state is true
  • Allow users to choose is true
  • Safari browser warning is true

Buttons

Both have the following buttons turned on:

  • Bold
  • Italic
  • Underline
  • Strikethrough
  • Justify left
  • Justify right
  • Justify center
  • Bullet list
  • Numbered list
  • Outdent
  • Indent
  • Undo
  • Redo
  • Link
  • Anchor
  • Cleanup
  • Sup
  • Sub
  • Hr
  • Remove format
  • Charmap

We also give editors the image button. The reasoning behind this is that we have a structured image on most of our nodes, and the image button has the potential to break the interface when users reference very wide images.

Visual overview / documentation visuals

Hi.

I was wondering if there's some sort of *visual* Drupal documentation available...e.g.: an infographic or visual overview of the Drupal architecture, an image or diagram showing Drupal basics or workflow, etc. Anything...?

Thanks,
Martin

Using Drupal for users - new handbook section

Under the heading Handbooks can I suggest a new heading called Using Drupal for users.

This new Handbook sections would be targeted at Regular Users rather than developers and hard core users.

This new section (with a small introduction) might have a number of headings such as;

Drupal Newsletter April 2006, call to arms

Hello fellow Drupal lovers!

It's that time again, time to bring out the best Drupal has to offer and show it to the world. On this the sixth Drupal Newsletter we have another big moment in the life of Drupal, the soon to be released Drupal 4.7. This version will be unprecedented and will add features like AJAX and Module Installation that will bring Drupal to the forefront of the CMS race and keep it there for some time to come.

Our job as writers is an important one. It's our responsibility, nay, duty to make sure Drupal's horn is properly blown to the world. The majority of sections are still waiting to be written for this newsletter, and Drupal needs you to volunteer some of your time and skill to write.

You don't have to be an extremely well versed writer, you don't even have to spell everything write...er..right, so long as you're somewhat passionate about Drupal. Articles are relatively short, between 75 and 200 words, with 100 being the average. You can write about any subject, so long as it's related to Drupal (or even CivicSpace's distribution of the Drupal core) such as "Drupal sightings", personal experiences, developer notes, user tips or even Drupal events. So long as it's about Drupal, we want it!

The deadline for all articles is April 7th, and a draft will go out on the 8th. If you're interested in writing a piece for the next newsletter, email me (contact form) and let me know, and I'll reserve a place for it.

For these newsletters to work we need ordinary Drupal users to step out and donate a bit of their time to spread Drupal to the world!

Handbook: "Contribution about contributions..."

Suggestions for the next version of the Contribution page. Ref.
http://drupal.org/node/21779 ,
(which resides inside http://drupal.org/node/10257)

I suggest adding something like the following to encourage and use as reference in/for discussions:

***********************
"Contributions may come in many different forms, some visible/noticable, others may never be known in general. Many (or most?) happen in daily talks etc. which rarely are visible at for example Drupal.org. This does not make them less valuable, though, and the Drupal community values them all.

Here are some examples on valuable contribution forms. Anyone may pick as many or few as they fancy, and still feel proud of taking part in helping the Drupal community:

- code: contribute modules
- help test beta releases, modules, fixes/patches, etc. and report what works and what does not
- file bug reports
- report about security issues, including advicing existing Drupal sites to upgrade when security upgrades are released.
- make feature requests
- documentation, screenshots, etc.
- inform about documentation improvement potential (suggestions as well as writing yourself, both are valuable. A person who can come up with a good idea is not necessarily fit for writing it in documentation form, and the ones skilled in writing good documentation can never come up with all the good ideas for improvement themselves, so don't be ashamed of suggesting without writing it yourself.)
