How to integrate Solmetra’s SPAW2 Editor with Sky Blue Canvas

SkyBlueCanvas is a fun, friendly light weight CMS and a perfect alternative to Joomla or Drupal if what you are looking for is a CMS to manage your smaller, brochure-style websites. The latest version of Scott Lewis’s software runs with both the WYMEditor and TinyMCE WYSIWYG editors integrated. However, if you’re looking for a third alternative for your clients then look no further than Sometra’s SPAW2 Editor. I have always been a big fan of this editor. Quite simply it ticks all the boxes. Integration is quick and simple.

Download the SPAW2 Editor

Upload the spaw2 folder to /plugins/editors/spaw2/

Open includes/core.php

Find on line 191

$code = FileSystem::buffer(SB_EDITORS_DIR . "$editor/header.php");

Replace with

if($editor == 'spaw2'){
} else {
$code = FileSystem::buffer(SB_EDITORS_DIR . "$editor/header.php");
}

Open managers/page/html/form.page.html

Find

<textarea id="story_content"
name="story_content"
class="editor"
cols="55"
rows="22">
{OBJ:STORY_CONTENT}
</textarea>

Replace with

{OBJ:TEXTAREA_START}{OBJ:STORY_CONTENT}{OBJ:TEXTAREA_END}

Open manager/page/page.class.php

Find on line 426

$form['STORY_CONTENT'] = $this->GetStoryContent($_OBJ);

Replace with

global $config;

$myeditor = isset($config['site_editor']) ? $config['site_editor'] : 'wymeditor';

if($myeditor == 'spaw2'){

    $path = "plugins/editors/";

    include($path . "spaw2/spaw.inc.php");

    $spaw = new SpawEditor("story_content",stripslashes($this->GetStoryContent($_OBJ)));

$pages = $Core->xmlHandler->ParserMain(SB_PAGE_FILE);

                $url_array = array();

                foreach ($pages as $p)

                {

                    $link = $Core->GetLink($p->name, $p->id, '', 1);

                    $url_array[$link] =$p->name;

                }

    $spaw->setConfigItem("quick_links", $url_array, SPAW_CFG_TRANSFER_SECURE);

    $html12 = $spaw->getHtml();

    $form['TEXTAREA_START'] = $html12;

    $form['TEXTAREA_END'] = '';

        $form['STORY_CONTENT'] = '';

} else {

    $form['TEXTAREA_START'] = '<textarea id="story_content"

                                          name="story_content"

                                          class="editor"

                                          cols="55"

                                          rows="22">';

    $form['TEXTAREA_END'] = '</textarea>';

    $form['STORY_CONTENT'] = $this->GetStoryContent($_OBJ);

}

That’s all folks!
