DevEdit PHP API

Published 06/2/2008 by Scott Tedmanson

Introduction

There are many functions that you can use to manipulate both the DevEdit control and its contents. Over the next couple of pages, these functions will be explained and an example will be provided for each.

First, if your application does not already start a PHP session, then you must do so as DevEdit uses session variables to pass data between screens:

<?php session_start(); ?>

Now we must learn how to instantiate (or create) the DevEdit class. There are 3 steps involved. Firstly, you must include the DevEdit class file. Secondly, you must create a new DevEdit class object. Finally, you must assign a unique name to your DevEdit control, as shown below:

<?php

include_once("de/class.devedit.php");
 
// Create a new DevEdit class object
$myDE = new DevEdit;

SetDevEditPath("/de");
$myDE->SetName("myDevEditControl");

?>

Once you've created a DevEdit class object, you call functions against that object, for example:

myDE->ShowControl("90%", "200pt", "/myImages");

Note: You can place the DevEdit "de" folder anywhere on your web server. You simply need to make sure that:

You change the path in the include() tag to reference the proper path to your DevEdit class file
You specify the proper path using the SetDeveditPath function. This path can be document relative such as '../de' or root relative such as '/myapp/de'

Note: You can retrieve the DevEdit contents using either the GetValue function or the $_POST array. The name of the variable in the $_POST array will be [DevEdit_Control_Name]_html.

For example if you pass "myDevEditControl" to the SetName function, the variable would be $_POST["myDevEditControl_html"]

AddCustomInsert

This function can be used to add a custom insert snippet. A custom insert is basically a piece of HTML code that you can insert into the DevEdit control quickly. After calling the AddCustomInsert function, the custom insert button will appear on the toolbar. Simply click on it and your list of custom inserts will appear.

Function Syntax:

void AddCustomInsert ( string InsertName, string InsertHTMLCode )

Function Example:

$myDE->AddCustomInsert("DevEdit Logo", "");

AddCustomLink

This function can be used to add a custom link to the link manager. A custom link is a quick and easy way to add a list of "pre-defined" links to the links manager. To insert a link with no target, specify the third parameter (TargetWindow) as an empty string, "".

Function Syntax:

void AddCustomLink ( string LinkName, string LinkURL, string TargetWindow )

Function Example:

$myDE->AddCustomLink("Interspire Website", "http://www.interspire.com", "_blank");

AddEventListener

This function allows you to add an Javascript event listener to the DevEdit control. For example you can add an onload event so you can call another Javascript function when the editor has finished loading.

Function Syntax:

void AddEventListener(string Event, String FunctionName )

Function Example:

$myDE->AddEventListener("onLoad", "javascript_function_name")

AddHiddenFileOrFolder

This function adds a list of files or folders that you want to hide from the link or media manager. Wildcards are also supported. (*)

Function Syntax:

void AddHiddenFileOrFolder(string FileOrFolderName);

Function Example:

$myDE->AddHiddenFileOrFolder("a762*");
$myDE->AddHiddenFileOrFolder("*.png");
$myDE->AddHiddenFileOrFolder("cover.png");
$myDE->AddHiddenFileOrFolder("this_should_be_hidden");

AddToolbar

This function lets you organize your toolbar to show exactly the buttons you want.

For the tool bar data, | stands for the next tool bar row, and - is a separator.

Function Syntax:

void AddToolbar ( string Name, string Tool Bar Data )

Function Example:

$rows = array (
"Fullscreen,Undo,Redo,Paste,-,OrderedList,UnorderedList,-,JustifyLeft,JustifyCenter,JustifyRight,JustifyFull,-,Custominsert,Help",
"Spellcheck,-,RemoveFormat,-,Indent,Outdent,-,SubScript,SuperScript,CreateLink,CreateEmailLink,Anchor,-,Image,-,Table,Form,Pageproperties",
"Fontname,Fontsize,Formatblock,Fontcolor,Highlight,HR,Insertchars,Showborders",
);
$myDE->AddToolbar("MyToolbar", implode(",|,", $rows));

AddToolbarButton

This function lets you add your own button(s) to the toolbar and call an external Javascript function.

Function Syntax:

void AddToolbarButton ( string Name, int Width, int Height, string ImagePath, string JavascriptFunctionName )

Function Example:

$myDE->AddToolbarButton("CustomFields", 97, 20, "http://beta/deveditnx1.6.3/demo_images/crossbrowser.gif", "myfunction('hello')","");

DisableHTMLEntities

This function Stops DevEdit from automatically converting non-ascii characters to HTML entities. For example, ê will remain as is instead of being converted to ê.

Function Syntax:

void DisableHTMLEntities ( )

Function Example:

$myDE->DisableHTMLEntities();

DisableImageDeleting

This function hides the delete link in the image manager.

Function Syntax:

void DisableImageDeleting ( )

Function Example:

$myDE->DisableImageDeleting();

DisableImageEditing

This function hides the edit link in the image manager.

Function Syntax:

void DisableImageEditing ( )

Function Example:

$myDE->DisableImageEditing();

DisableImageUploading

This function hides the upload file box in the image manager.

Function Syntax:

DisableInsertFlashFromWeb

This function removes the ability to specify a remote location to a Flash file in the 'Insert media file' popup window.

Function Syntax:

void DisableInsertFlashFromWeb (  )

Function Example:

$myDE->DisableInsertFlashFromWeb();

DisablePreviewMode

This function hides the preview tab at the bottom of the DevEdit control.

Function Syntax:

void DisablePreviewMode ( )

Function Example:

$myDE->DisablePreviewMode();

DisableSingleLineReturn

In Internet Explorer, pressing Enter(Return) on the keyboard in the editor will result in a <P> tag being generated. To generate a <br> tag, a SHIFT + Enter is required. As this is confusing, by default DevEdit inserts a <br> tag when pressing Enter and a <p> tag when pressing SHIFT + Enter.

This function disables this and returns to the default method of handling new lines provided by Internet Explorer.

Function Syntax:

void DisableSingleLineReturn ( )

Function Example:

$myDE->DisableSingleLineReturn();

DisableSmartHistory

Browsers such as Internet Explorer and FireFox deal with the undo / redo history incorrectly. In some circumstances, the history can break such as when inserting images, tables etc. To circumvent this, you can use Smart history to overwrite the undo / redo history programatically. The SmartHistory fixes the undo / redo history buffer but may cause performance issues such as slower editing. This function will disable the SmartHistory.

Function Syntax:

void DisableSmartHistory ( )

Function Example:

$myDE->DisableSmartHistory();

DisableSourceMode

This function hides the source tab at the bottom of the DevEdit control.

Function Syntax:

void DisableSourceMode ( )

Function Example:

$myDE->DisableSourceMode();

DisableXHTMLFormatting

Disabling XHTML formatting means that any HTML produced by DevEdit will be HTML 4.1 compatible instead of XHTML compatible, which is the standard HTML formatting performed by DevEdit.

Function Syntax:

void DisableXHTMLFormatting ( )

Function Example:

$myDE->DisableXHTMLFormatting();

Function Example:

$myDE->ForcePasteWord();

GetValue

This function gets the resultant HTMLfrom the DevEdit control once the control has been submitted as part of a form.

Function Syntax:

If PathType is 1 or DE_PATH_TYPE_ABSOLUTE, then links/images will have the absolute path specified in their src attribute, such as /myimage.gif.

Function Example:

$myDE->SetPathType(DE_PATH_TYPE_FULL);

SetSnippetStyleSheet

This function allows you to specify the location of a stylesheet to use when editing code snippets.

Note: You must be in snippet editing mode (i.e. SetDocumentType(DE_DOC_TYPE_SNIPPET) to specify a snippet stylesheet. Due to browser cross-domain security, the stylesheet that you are using must be located on the same domain name as where DevEdit is installed.

Function Syntax:
