Kupu (1.4.9)

Document Actions
Released on 2008-03-25 by Duncan Booth for Plone 2.1, Plone 2.5, Plone 3.0, Plone 3.1 under BSD License (revised) available for All platforms.
Software development stage: stable
Kupu is a 'document-centric' open source client-side WYSIWYG editor for Mozilla (1.7 or higher), Internet Explorer (5.5 or higher ), Firefox and Netscape. Inspired by Maik Jablonski's Epoz editor. New drawer interface (easier to select folders), anchor drawer, optional Kupu drawers for reference fields. Paragraph styles within tables and link checking.

This version of Kupu has had the drawer interface substantially changed. It now uses radio buttons (or checkboxes for a multi selection drawer) to indicate the selection, and clicking on the title of a folder will navigate into the folder rather than selecting it. Optionally the Kupu drawers may also be used as a replacement for the AT Reference Browser widget on reference fields (toggled by a checkbox in the configlet, off by default).

There's a new anchor drawer which lets you create tables of contents for the current document, or simply link within the document. Internal and external link drawers also support linking to anchors within the remote documents (although in the case of external links this is limited by the security model to documents within the same domain).

Styles may be assigned to SPAN elements.

Beta 2 adds the ability to set paragraph styles within table cells. The style pulldown also now has a 'remove style' option to strip out the closest enclosing style.

The configlet has a new 'links' tab which lets you check which relative links in kupu editable fields appear to be broken, and also to convert relative links to kupu's resolveuid form or back again to relative.


Change log

- 1.4 Beta 2

- Paragraph styling now permitted inside a table again (contributed
by George Lee).

- Fixed a bug where changing a TR style while the selection covered
more than one row corrupted the DOM.

- New style option '(remove style)' always present and removes the
closest style round the selection (i.e. a span or block tag, or
removes the className if it hits a table tag with a class).

- Added a link maintenance page. Checks for bad links (i.e. those
kupu doesn't understand), also converts links from relative paths
to resolveuid and back again.

- 1.4 Beta 1

- Fixed some problems with handling of multi-valued form fields in the
ExternalSource tool code for Silva.

- Merged Plone style code back into common code.

- Redid the table style code to work better. The style pulldown now
displays either paragraph styles or table styles, not both
together.

- Added code to manipulate anchors. New drawer to insert anchor
links either singly or as a table. (Plone and HMTL forms).

- Changes to drawer layout to look prettier and to allow direct
linking to folders.

- Support for AT reference browsing using the Kupu UI. This means
that Kupu on Plone now requires Archetypes 1.3+

- Plone sample customisation now gets run on installation if there
isn't a customised version. This means that the defaults for the
tool don't all need to be hardwired.

- Plone configlet now makes it easier to enable linkbyuid and
captioning options.

- HTML view now does filtering by default in Plone (can be turned
off in the configlet). This also means that after pasting from e.g.
Word the HTML can be cleaned up simply by toggling source view
on/off.
