YUI Editor in Movabletype v1.0

At last I can make this 1.0!

IE6 is not yet perfect, but as good as it can get until Yahoo! update the CSS for the editor.

Hey Richard, this plugin is great on the formatting and usability side. There's one slight (well, big) problem with it though and that is when it deals with Flash or object/embed tags.

When I copy and paste in embed code from YouTube or Viddler into the entry (there's no embed button) via the source box, when I click back to the WYSIWYG view, it strips that code down and throws in a couple span tags.

I don't know YUI enough to tell it to allow object/embed or even script tags in the editor (for a Digg badge, for example), so other than formatting my text and throwing in an occasional image, I can't do much more with this editor.

Any ideas?

Hi Chris,

The YUI editor strips out tags it thinks may be harmful, but you can affect which tags it strips out, I've had to do that to allow the MT asset manager as it wraps them in form tags.

To achieve this, you need to edit /mt-static/plugins/YUIEditor/config.js

In the "afterYUIInit" function, add the following:

delete YUIEditor.invalidHTML.object;
delete YUIEditor.invalidHTML.embed;
delete YUIEditor.invalidHTML.script;
