Xinha and other Editors
I have Roller 4.0 installed on a Linux box. It seems that the Xinha
editor does not work properly with IE6. The cursor jumps all around as
one types. It is very annoying and almost unusable. I normally use
Firefox and Xinha seems to work fine with it but, unfortunately, many
people still use IE. By the by, I'm not sure if Xinha behaves
erratically with IE7 or not. At any rate, I tried to add alternative
editors using the editor plugins and instructions at
<http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javanet/OptionalEditorAddinsForRoller> .
The pertinent piece of my roller-custom-properties file now looks like
this:
plugins.weblogEntryEditors=\
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.core.plugins.TextEditor,\
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.core.plugins.XinhaEditor,\
net.java.dev.roller.editorplugins.rte.RTEEditor,\
net.java.dev.roller.editorplugins.textjs.TextJSEditor
When I reload Roller, I have the choice of using the Text Editor, the
RTE Editor Applet, and the Enhanced Text Editor and they all seem to
work fine; however, the Xinha Editor no longer appears as an option
even though it is listed as an editor in my roller-custom-properties
file. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I might be experiencing
this behavior? I have to admit that my Java knowledge is rather thin
so please try to be as explicit as possible with your reply. Thanks
very much in advance.

Looks like you have found a bug, I just reported it for you:

There are no errors in the roller.log file. The only warning is this:
WARN 2008-02-14 09:18:08,487 Settings:getLocale - Settings: Could not
parse struts.locale setting, substituting default VM locale
As I said, my java knowledge is thin so I'm not sure what that means,
but I was getting that warning long before I tried adding editors.

I don't notice anything wrong with your setup as described. Please
check your roller.log file, somewhere around the start should me some
messages listing the Editor Plugins as they are loaded. Do you see
anything ERROR or WARN messages there?
