wysiwyg editor ?

Post by sam » 12 Nov 2018, 23:08

The docs said there was a wysiwyg editor. where is it and what is it used for.
I thought I would give aimeos a once over but so far it seems to be the most un-intuitive admin I have ever seen.
I thought I would have a little play with the categories, the menu and and add a new page for my sites FAQ. Nothing in the admin section suggests that any of this is even possible. I am happy with editing the blades but if that is the way to do everything, what is the wysiwyg editor for ?

The WYSIWYG editor is available if you add a text to a product/category/service/attribute in the their text sub-panels.

What Aimeos package do you use? This one?
https://github.com/aimeos/aimeos

There's no integrated CMS by default but you can install e.g. the the Grafite CMS package to add page editing features:
https://github.com/GrafiteInc/CMS

The Aimeos backend is only for managing the shop content incl. the categories but they doesn't necessarily build the menu you want. There are specialized package like the above one for that tasks. If you don't want to use such a package, you have to edit the Blade templates and add a new ones for each page you need (and add a route for them).

Thanks for your reply.
I am using a downloaded zip from the github page a few days ago. I have no idea how to find what version that is.
I am looking for a shop system that lets me make custom changes during development but then leave the final shop with the customer so they can edit pages, add offers etc without needing me. I also dont want the hackability of wordpress or the need for a bug/vulnerability update every 2 weeks.
I will try the cms you suggest, thanks

You should definitively use composer to set up your installation because otherwise you can't update it and you will run into problems when installing additional packages.

Thanks.
I tried a composer install but it terminated with an error message. I tried it out anyway but then when I saw the admin section looked a little sparse, I thought the error must have been important. Sorry but I dont know what the composer command was. I ended up at https://packagist.org/packages/aimeos/ai-laravel where it says "If you are using the Laravel framework, you don't have to install and set up the ai-laravel extension yourself. Instead, use the Aimeos Laravel package to create a web shop within minutes." I clicked on the link and it took me to https://github.com/aimeos/aimeos-laravel where I did the obvious thing and downloaded the zip. The install went fine and I figure a composer update should probably work. I appreciate the flexibility of aimeos but it is not easy to find the obvious quick way to set up an initial installation.
