I totally agree.

After some investigation I found out that the file...

I think CS3 has the possibility to save an animated gif. Just make sure you use "Save for web..." and that the animation is enabled there.

I have posted a ticket:

1. Download the latest Contao package as zip.
2. Unzip the file

Hi,
Is it just on my installation or does anyone else have problem using the "Download(s) Content Element" to download zip-files?

Imagefiles and Word-documents show up fine. But when I select a...

But if it is possible to do a XSS attack by using the then the attacker already must have access to the backend to do any harm. Therefore I don't see this to be of any problem.

Too bad i'm not such a talented developer to make that into an extension. But if anyone would make that work I would be the first one to use that extension.


Is this a public extension? If so,...

I don't know the details how XSS works, but can anyone explain in a simple way how a would be used in a XSS attack? I don't see how that would be possible.

Good thoughts from all of you. From your post Vera, I did a simple mockup to demonstrate a possible solution.

The first image shows the settings for a news archive. Here the option to enable a...

Hmm, I found this forum post by Leo about the [nbsp]. He says that it is a Contao specific feature. Not used in the original TinyMCE.

He also says that is has to be there to "escape the XSS...

To remove the [nbsp] you can edit tinyCustom.php. Edit this line into this:

Of course, sometimes I don't even think... I'll try that. Thanks!

Just as the title describes:
Is it possible to make a login form in the frontend, that logs you into the backend?

Is there a module I can use for this or do I have to build my own from scratch?

Don't forget to specify in "dcaconfig.php" where the custom editor will be shown:

// Use the custom RTE configuration for text elements

For your interest, here is the custom code I changed in tinyCustom.php:

The buttons:

The problem only occurs when pasting unformatted text, by pressing Shift+alt+cmd+v (Mac).

But since I did this little fix on this thread I can paste using only cmd+v and the problem is gone: ...

Thank you!

I used this little code in the tinyCustom.php file to clean pasted content.

I haven't done any excessive testing but hopefully it will be enough.

Thanks!

At last I have managed to rework the appearance of the ugly and not so intuitive TinyMCE editor.

How do I remove some of the buttons in the TinyMCE toolbar? Maybe a tutorial somewhere you can point me to?

If possible I would like to have...

I like WYSIWYG editors, but sometimes they are just annoying.

Ok I solved it by editing the ModuleCatalogFeatured.php file. I commented out line 85:


//$filterurl = $this->parseFilterUrl(array());

Not update safe though....

Anyone?

Hi,

On my website I have at the footer some randomly items from the catalog. These are displayed using the featured module and are shown on ALL pages.

Nevermind, solved it in another (not perfect) way. But if anyone know what causes the "page not found" error, then let me know..

It must be something wrong with the filter-parsing of the URL.
