Groups Wiki: Ajax’d WYSIWYG Wiki
Written by on November 20th, 2006 in Ajax News.
Ben Nolan has created his take on an ajax’d up wysiwyg wiki called GroupsWiki.
Some of the interesting features are:
- Always editing, users are always editing their wikis, we attach events to the links so that they can open new pages even while contenteditable is enabled.
- Ajax image insert using a micro-version of lightbox. We also do table insertion the same way.
- Autosave - the users data is auto-saved every 30 seconds via ajax callbacks.
- Nice simple design and simple UI.
The application is built using Rails, Prototype, and TinyMCE. Ben didn’t use this great behaviour.js for this application as he says: “I tend to use behaviour only when doing sites that will actually work without JS” (nice and pragmatic).
