Xinha Editor Works With FMLP

[leadman]

The Xinha editor when installed in the www root folder integrates directly into the FMLP with no installation necessary.

All you have to do is upload the Xinha folder from their site into the www root of your site where you host the FMLP.

One setting you will need to change is the absolute image path in the editor. Otherwise, when you create html emails in FMLP, it will change the img path to a relative path (eliminating the http://www.abc.com) and your email recipients will only receive a broken img link.

Be advised, the image will look fine in FMLP preview, even with the default stripped base href (relative link for the image). That's because the FMLP and image file are on the same server.

To switch Xinha to use absolute URL's for the images,

you must go to the XinhaCore.js file

then search for stripBaseHref and change value to 'false'

This will prevent problems sending out html emails as the end prospects email client won't display relative img url's, only absolute ones.

Great tip, Leadman.

Did you use it with IE or Firefox?

[leadman]

I used firefox but with the internet explorer engine running. So, I'd assume you can expect the same results in ie.

I remember someone complained it does not work with Firefox. It seems this is not an issue.

[leadman]

You are 100% correct.

XINHA will absolutely NOT work in Firefox using the native engine. You CAN use Xinha in Firefox ONLY if you use the IE engine plugin for Firefox and have it running.

So, a word to the wise - when you create a bookmark for your FMLP - make sure you do so using IE or Firefox in IE engine mode.

Otherwise, Xinha editor doesn't populate the html area and you will be scratching your head thinking something is broken.

Thanks for posting.

Leadman,
I am wanting to utilize the Xinha editor with this program and I was wondering when you upload it to the root do you add it direct into public_html or do you add it to a sub folder like public_html/xinha/?

Also is there anything I have to do other that upload files like change permissions?

[drquek]

You upload into sub folder like public_html/xinha/.
