Wygwam 1.1 Released

Brandon Kelly has released an update to his WYSIWYG text editing field Wygwam. According to Brandon’s blog post the hot new feature is file browsing and uploading. What else?

One other feature worth mentioning: you can now choose which individual buttons are visible within your toolgroups. For example, if you want authors to be able to be able to bold and italicize text, but not underline or strikethrough, simply click once on the Underline and Strikethrough buttons within the Toolbar Configurator to disable them. They’ll dim-out in the Configurator, and be completely missing from your fields!

Wygwam is available for $29 from Brandon Kelly’s website and comes highly recommended.

I’m currently using LG TinyMCE and the Image Manager plugin for TinyMCE.  Any idea on how to move from this to Wygwam?  I’d like to do this in a few months but need to fully understand how File/Image uploading work with Wygwam and CKEditor and EE2.  Until then, I’ll just keep reading up.  Thanks for the post!

Thanks for those details.  I’m glad the process is that simple!
