JCE 2.0.21 released

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:22:46 +0000

Maintenance update

This release focuses on fixing a few bugs, includes an update to TinyMCE and adds 2 new parameters and support for MS SQL.

MS SQL Support

Joomla! 2.5 added support for MS SQL and this release includes the necessary sql files and a few core changes - specifically to the Link Browser - to support it too. MS SQL support has been tested on Microsoft Webmatrix.

New Parameters

Prohibited Attribute Values

JCE 2.0.16 introduced the Prohibited Elements and Prohibited Attributes parameters to allow for greater control over the editor content. Prohibited Attribute Values is now added to this list of "Security Parameters" and allows for certain attribute values to be removed based on a CSS 2.1 / 3 syntax.

The parameter supports the "is equal to", "starts with" and "ends with" selectors and can target a specific element of all elements in the content.

For example, to prevent base64 encoded urls being used for images, entering img[src^='data:image'] (where an img tag src attribute starts with "data:image") will remove the src value of any matched attributes. Likewise, img[src$='.jpg'] will remove the src value of img tags that have a url ending in .jpg (jpg images).

All tags can be targeted using the * wildcard, eg: *[title="test"] will remove all title attribute values from elements where the title attribute is equal to "test".

Styles List

A Styles List parameter is included in the Editor Parameters tab to set a list of style options for the Styles List in the editor toolbar. The options should be added in the format Name=style (where style is an existing css class used by your template) and separated by a comma. For example, if your template included the css rules :

.redtext { color : red; }.blutext { color : blue; }

you could add Red Text=redtext,Blue Text=bluetext

In addition to these new parameters, some Editor Parameters now include placeholder text to help better explain possible values.

Popup add-ons for RocketTheme RokBox and Yootheme WidgetKit released

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:59:30 +0000

New add-ons for creating popups available

Subscribers can now take advantage of two new add-ons for JCE that will make creating popups for RocketTheme's RokBox and Yootheme's WidgetKit extensions a lot easier.

Once the add-on is installed, a new option will appear in the Popup Type list in the Popups tab of the Link, Image Manager Extended and Media Manager dialogs. Selecting this option will enable the popup and allow the popup's parameters to be set - users of JCE MediaBox may already be familiar with this process.

Each add-on has a full set of parameters that can be set - a task that would have previously required diving into the html source code or fiddling around with the original extensions syntax.

In addition, the WidgetKit Lightbox add-on can have default values set for most parameters.

Remember, you will need to have RocketTheme RokBox or Yoothemes WidgetKit installed to use these add-ons!

Both add-ons are available in the Plugins section of the Downloads area.

Subscriber Only Support Forums

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:55:56 +0000

Posting in support forums now for subscribers only

The JCE Support Forums have recently come under increasingly frequent attacks by spammers who have flooded the public forums with the usual nonsensical junk that is supposed to (in some bizarre alternate universe) convince people to click on the posted links and buy the advertised products.

Despite repeated attempts to prevent this, including implementing a Captcha challenge on new posts, blocking a range of IP Addresses used by some of the spammers and implementing Project Honeypot, the spammers seem to have found a way around these defences to continue their pointless and annoying pursuit.

In an effort to end these attacks and to provide a better support service to Subscribers, the support forums are now limited to read-only access for non-subscribers - a valid subscription will be required to post new and reply to existing topics.

JCE MediaBox 1.1.2 released

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:15:46 +0000

Image Manager Extended 2.0.8 released

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:00:34 +0000

Image MAnager Extended updated

The Image Manager Extended has been updated to version 2.0.8

This update adds a new method for creating thumbnails on upload, utilizing the canvas feature of modern browsers, as used by the Image Editor and Thumbnail Editor. This may add a slight increase in upload time per file but should improve the stability of thumbnail creation, especially on servers with low PHP memory settings. A modern browser, ie: Firefox 8, Chrome 15, IE9, Safari 5, Opera 11.5 is required. Older browsers without canvas support will continue to use server-side methods to creating the thumbnails.

JCE 2.0.19 released

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:55:55 +0000

Maintenance update

This release fixes an unfortunate bug introduced in JCE 2.0.18 which would produce errors in Image Manager, File Manager etc. caused by incorrect paths created for images, files etc.

In addition, following some early reports of strange cursor issues in CodeMirror2, the Source Code view has reverted to using CodeMirror1 until these issues can be resolved.

JCE 2.0.18 released

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 14:08:18 +0000

Maintenance and Security update

Initially intended as a quick maintenance release to fix a few small issues with the new UTF-8 file name support and to address some upload issues, this release quickly snowballed into something more substantial, and now includes 15 fixes, 2 changes, 2 new options and a security update.

Security Updates

File / folder name cleanup has been improved following the move to full UTF-8 support with better detection of UTF-8 names and invalid character removal, and detection of invalid extensions has also been fixed. For this reason updating to JCE 2.0.18 is recommended for all users.

New Options

Still on the subject of websafe file and folder names, an option has been added to the Editor Parameters (in the FileSystem section) to set the websafe "mode" - name cleanup / detection can now be set to the default UTF-8 or ASCII, the latter will convert UTF-8 Latin characters into their ASCII equivalents, eg: ö will be converted to o.

The JCE MediaBox Popups options now include a new Parameter widget to easily add custom parameters to the Mediabox, eg: wmode for flash files (see below)

Codemirror2

The Source Code view has bee upgrade to use CodeMirror2 which generally improves the stability (and in future) features of the editor. This upgrade comes with a quicker loading time and some new themes.

Bugs Fixed

Thanks to everyone who reported issues and helped find solutions to the problems in one way or another. Notable bug fixes include issues in Pasting, fixes for Content and Menu links created by the Link Browser, a fix for upload issues in Firefox and a fix for 403 errors in the Source Code view.

JCE 2.0.17 released

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:37:59 +0000

JCE 2.0 updated

Ok, so barely a week has gone by since the 2.0.16 release, and here we are again. Admittedly, this has got something to do with a git revert mistake which resulted in an important fix that was supposed to be included in the previous release being left out. As I couldn't replicate the bug myself it slipped through the net...

The good news is that the bug - which would cause the Source Code view to "crash" - is now fixed. In addition to this, a few new bits have been added :

UTF-8 file name and URL's are now supported
The Directory Path in the File Browser is now clickable - you can change directories by clicking on the folder name - see the image below.
