The basic idea behind DevEdit is the ability to replace the boring and functionless HTML TextArea tag with a WYSIWYG editor which will allows you to create HTML enriched text.
The basic idea of what you need to do is shown below:
- Find an instance of a TextArea tag in your web page.
- Replace the text area tag with the code needed to display DevEdit. Remember the name of the TextArea tag.
- Once you have removed the TextArea, open the page that the form submits to.
Replace the variable that the TextArea would have submitted with the GetValue command, which is a function of the DevEdit control that contains the HTML created inside the editor.
For example, instead of using this:
$val = $_POST["theValue"];
You would use this:
$val = $myDE->GetValue(false);
The DevEdit documentation has more detailed information as well as the entire PHP and Javascript API.
If you're still having trouble integrating into your application, please post a support ticket and one of our developers will help you.
