Zend Framework and the Dojo dijit editor
Jason Houle has posted an article on how to use Dojo’s digit.Editor WYSIWYG editor with Zend Framework.
In one of my current projects, AircraftConnection.com, I decided to use the dijit.Editor WYSIWYG editor in my user’s forms. I ran into a few problems and could not find much documentation on the topic.
- I wanted the label, description, and field in a different order.
- I wanted the data entered into the editor to actually be passed to the server when the form was submitted.
- I wanted to pre-populate the form with data the user had previously entered.
He shows how to extend Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_Editor to provide a customised set to decorators and then goes on to show to to use it within a Zend Framework MVC application.
