Hugely improved text editor - TinyMCE

Today we implemented TinyMCE on TravelStash. TinyMCE is an open-source WYSIWYG editor which will allow you much greater control over the layout of your blog entries, wishlist items and travel tips. The best way to see this in action is to go to your Control Panel and add/edit a new entry, wishlist item or travel tip. While performing these actions check out the super cool editor window - it used to be a plain old textbox but now has a whole load of buttons along the top. For those that know TinyMCE, yes, we’ve opted to remove a lot of the available from our implementation because they’re simply not needed on TravelStash.

From a member point of view you can use the new editor to embed pictures, movies (e.g. YouTube!), to make parts of your text bold/underline/italic, increase font sizes or easily create bulleted & numbered lists.

This is a pretty major change in the way the TravelStash control panel UI looks and works so if you encounter any problems with the content of your entries please send an email to bugs [at] travelstash [dot] com - we’ll address your concerns as soon as we possibly can.
