Google fonts still slow a site down.

The one I showed had different options for sizes and colors. To be honest, fonts are bad and there is no way to handle them. If you use a font and the user does not have it installed, then it looks funny. If we automatically add them, then it will slow your site down. At the same time using multiple fonts across the site looks poor from a design standpoint. What we are going to try to progress to is a more wordpress look in the back office, with some of the same features

I think we are shooting for two different things. Likely we will never see a full featured html editor in thirty bees, what we will see though in 1.1.x will be something like this, https://elementor.com/

It has a lot of buttons, I think I was going for a cleaner look personally.

Ok, we have figured out upgrading tinyMCE and making some changes will cause issues with some modules. So we are going to have to hold off until 1.1.x with it, but this is what I came up with playing around with it today. http://storage3.static.itmages.com/i/17/0703/h14991115597617692_405b6a76be.png http://storage2.static.itmages.com/i/17/0703/h14991114953609918_0d39b12aed.png It has a much cleaner look to me, what do you all think?

Great, I am glad it is working for you. Soon we expect to come out with modified versions of the theme, where we can ship versions with a different look and feel.

Just download it, extract it, open the directory tree until you are at the actual template files, then on your server go into your theme until you see the actual template files. Then upload the new template files over the old template files.

Did you delete the community-theme-default directory?

No problem.

Right. WE are trying to in the end put a seamless system in place, it just takes time to make it and we are trying to allow people to update things manually in the mean time until that system is in place.

That is what we are working on with the shop actually. That is going to be our central repository for everything like this. Hopefully it will start going live in about a week and a half.

No problem, sometimes I am vague about instructions, its an old habit.

That is almost word for word what is in the blog post page. I will try to make it clearer.

You can download the zip from the github release page, then extract the files, then upload them over your current theme via ftp, https://github.com/thirtybees/community-theme-default/releases/tag/1.0.1

When I download the theme zip I can see the config.xml file, maybe you did not get it uploaded to your server.

Maybe we should reskin it too. The modern theme looks nice. https://www.tinymce.com/docs/demo/basic-example/

Yeah, with tables and other things that can be done in a better way.

I think it is something we would have to consult with someone that knows more about ie a lawyer or someone very familiar with OSS. But in the end we are going to license the module in such a way that would make it impossible for people to make a paid module out of it. Even if we have to license just classes in the module itself that we have rewritten. Someone selling one of our free modules is not really an option for us and something we would enforce against.

Unless I am wrong we can license new files in any way of our choosing, having an end module that has multiple license types. Likely a lot of new files are going to need to be created for the front views, new filter classes, ect. We can severely cripple any commercial use that way where anyone would just as well fork the Brad module as to try to use ours for commercial purposes.

Honestly we can use a similar type license or just stick with the license in it and add our own copyright as well. Its not anything huge on our end, the same basic point we have in mind would apply to either license.

Here is a link to that topic, https://forum.thirtybees.com/topic/494/tinymce-editor-in-the-back-office

In the TinyMCE editor does anyone really care for the right click context menu? I have long wanted to disable it because it would allow for a real copy and paste.

Yeah, we might have to play around with it. I can check what the buttons actually do. I am going to start another topic about this in general, I have a question that deserves its own topic.

Apparently not. I was just about to push it, but then I see that it makes useless the allow iframe button. We will have to figure something out about this, but it will get handled, that button might disappear.

From my understanding it does allow for re-licensing. As it says, "Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy * of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), * to deal in the Software without restriction, * including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, * and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, * subject to the following conditions:" If it could not be re-licensed it would not be without restriction. We do have to include the original license, but we have had to do that with all the other files that have a copyright and license on them. But if you notice, it expressly gives the right to sublicense.
