Long awaited updates to JCE 1.5.x have finally been released, addressing and fixing many bugs and issues, and adding a few new featues along the way.
This release consists of updates to the Editor Plugin and Admin Component, as well as all the subscription plugins. Notable updates and changes include:
A new HTML, javascript powered multiple file uploader (no flash required!)
A GZip compression option reduces load times of the editor significantly
UPDATE: A few fixes have been added in the 1.1.9.2 release:
Restricted Access errors on upload
Error / blank file window in Manager plugins
Paste from Word / Paste as Plain Text errors / fixes
An important update for JCE 1.1.x has been released, primarily to fix a security issue in all versions prior to 1.1.9. All users of these versions are encouraged to update.
In addition, all the Manager plugins (File Manager, Media Manager, Image Manager Extended, Template Manager) are affected and should be updated too.
Installation / Upgrade instructions:
Users of JCE 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 can apply the bot_jce_118_1192_patch.zip provied. Unzip the contents to your local machine and upload / FTP the extracted files over the existing ones in mambots/editors/
Alternatively uninstall the existing editor mambot and reinstall bot_jce_1192.zip using the Joomla! Mambot installer - Installation Tutorial
JCE plugins must either be re-installed or the contents of each zip package extracted over the existing folders in mambots/editors/jce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/ - Installation Tutorial
Additional updates include:
All local files and links are now inserted with relative urls. an extra option in the JCE Configuration can disable this.
All scripts are now loaded using relative urls which may fix the www issue?
Media Manager - Flash Options now incudes allwfullscreen and the newer FLV player from JCE 1.5.x, with fullscreen playback, has been included.
Some of you may have come across this error in the JCE Administration Component Control Panel recently. This is nothing to be alarmed about, as it occurs because the new site is not yet offering a news feed which would be displayed as it was before, in the Control Panel.
There seem to be a few bugs still in the PHPBB3 forum bridge that are causing some nasty errors for a few users when logging in on the frontend or the forum. I hope to have this resolved as soon as possible.
UPDATE: Is this issue resolved? I made some code changes to some of the bridge files and I haven't had any complaints for a couple of days now...
