Paste from word

[BigWillie]

I knocked up a very basic paste from word plugin. I've tested it with a few documents and it works. I based it on https://github.com/ihwf/paste-from-word

You can find it here https://github.com/BigWillie/hugePasteFromWord

It's very scrappy - it handles images and styles, but doesn't do wordArt. I've not written any tests. Shared here for feedback.

Thank you!

Please give it a go - and let me know what you think

Wow, does fetch('file://...') really work? I think it'd present a huge security risk. Or is there some special case here?

[BigWillie]

You're right - this can't work. You can't access directly access a file with Fetch. I need to revisit this... weeks have passed. However, when pasting from word - I did get the image, and the image uploaded... I shall poke about to find out why (cos it wont be that fetch thats doing it)

It would be great if we could integrate this into HugeMCE itself...there should be no need to install an extra plugin.

[carlosmintfan]

Would you mind dropping your plugin and instead integrating all this into the HugeMCE paste core directly?

Nice!! We will also be working on some plugins - we are right now working on a Templates plugin! So I am willing to also make that available when it is done and tested.

Note we have been using TinyMCE for about a decade. Up to now we have been using version 2.1

[carlosmintfan]

That sounds interesting. What are you using instead of the custom dialog?
I may even make it part of the core it it's better and replace their deprecated one.

2.1 sounds quite old 😀 Will HugeMCE look very different, as it's based on 6.8?

To be determined Carlos. I will be working on our Templates plugin next week, I am yet to design it, But yes we will be very happy to contribute it. I am, though, pretty much emulating their premium template (previously advancedtemplate) pugin in 7.3. Our CEO likes it - so thats what we will do.

Yes a lot changed from 2.1 and also, a lot did not. The template plugin had not changed at all.
