WordPressMU Bug Trac for fixing target=”_blank”
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007
Once upon a time, we had a vexing problem where we couldn’t set the @target (OT: @target is tech-speak/jargon/euphemism for ‘target attribute’). Actually, you could set it, but when you ‘saved’ the post or story, TinyMCE (that nifty toolbar interface for formatting blog posts used by WordPress and a million other places). Here’s where I figured out what was wrong. I don’t know why they ‘broke’ the @target attribute, although I do know that the ‘target’ attribute was deprecated in HTML 4.01, as well as XHTML 1.0. However, there are ways around it, like via JavaScript and XHTML modules which are pretty darn cool.
Anyway, when we upgrade WordPressMU to the next version, we’ll likely need to ‘fix’ this again, so here’s $98 bucks worth of direction:
Changeset 1022 – WordPress MU Trac – Trac
Just change this:
$allowedposttags = array(
‘address’ => array(),
‘a’ => array(
‘href’ => array(), ‘title’ => array(),
‘rel’ => array(), ‘rev’ => array(),
‘name’ => array()
),
to this:
$allowedposttags = array(
‘address’ => array(),
‘a’ => array(
‘href’ => array(), ‘title’ => array(),
‘rel’ => array(), ‘rev’ => array(),
‘name’ => array(), ‘target’ => array()
),
NOTE: This change was downgraded to determine if it inexplicably affects bandwidth performance.

TinyMCE – The WYSIWYG Editor for WordPress
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007
TinyMCE is a powerful WYSIWYG editor control for web browsers such as MSIE or Mozilla that enables the user to edit HTML contents in a more user friendly way. The editor control is very flexible and it’s built for integration purposes (usage within systems like Intranets, CMS, and LMS, for example).
TinyMCE:Installation – Moxiecode Documentation Wiki
This is the Text Editor available for WordPress posting (Visual Edit mode). Pretty neat. Perhaps we’ll add a few items…
Here’re some more interesting TinyMCE links:
- WordPress TinyMCE page
- TinyMCE:Plugins/spellchecker
- Advanced TinyMCE Editor
- TinyMCE Advanced
- Tiny MCE Buttons
- TinyMCE: Configuration/valid elements
Perhaps, if I can ever find some time, I’ll be able to play around with this stuff.
