Could someone please suggest the best method of storing the blog content though? ie. what happens to the info in the Xinha text field once I click submit?
Can this be stored as text on a database?

thanks

The only comment I would make is that once you have done everything as described above, edit this line :editors => [’post_body’]. Replace the post_body with the id of your field. If I had realised this from the beginning it would have saved me an hour of trying to understand how Xinha works.

Thanks again.

Now, I wanted to configure a toolbar with different buttons and separators and the plugin wasn’t liking Arrays with Arrays very much so I added some recursive power to it and now you can setup the toolbar option via your plugin , yay

I’ve added

def stringify_array(values)
text = “[ ”
text += values.collect{|v| if v.instance_of? Array then stringify_array(v) + “,” else “‘” + v + “‘,” end }.join.chop
text += ” ]”
end

to xinha_helper.rb

and now you can do stuff like

uses_xinha(:setup => {
:skin => ’silva’ },
:options => {
:editors => [’content_text_node_content’],
:toolbar => [ [’separator’],[”separator”,”bold”,”italic”,”underline”,”strikethrough”],[’separator’] ]
},
:only => [:new, :edit, :post_edit])

Again, thank you and hopefully I’ve helped a bit too

nice job!

init.rb => require ‘xinha_helper’
