Insert HTML in NicEdit WYSIWYG

Question

How can I insert text/code at the cursors place in a div created by NicEdit?

I\'ve tried to read the documentation and create my own plugin, but I want it to work wi

Answer 1

The way I solved this was to make the nicEdit Instance div droppable, using jQuery UI; but to also make all of the elements within the div droppable.

$('div.nicEdit-main').droppable({
    activeClass: 'dropReady',
    hoverClass: 'dropPending',
    drop: function(event,ui) {
    $(this).find('.cursor').removeClass('cursor');
  },
  over: function(event, ui) {
    if($(this).find('.cursor').length == 0) {
      var insertEl = $('').append($(ui.draggable).attr('value'));
      $(this).append(insertEl);
    }
  },
  out: function(event, ui) {
    $(this).find('.cursor').remove();
  },
  greedy: true
});

$('div.nicEdit-main').find('*').droppable({
  activeClass: 'dropReady',
  hoverClass: 'dropPending',
  drop: function(event,ui) {
    $(this).find('.cursor').removeClass('cursor');
  },
  over: function(event, ui) {
    var insertEl = $('').append($(ui.draggable).attr('value'));
    $(this).append(insertEl);
  },
  out: function(event, ui) {
    $(this).find('.cursor').remove();
  },
  greedy: true
});

Then make your code or text draggable:

$('.field').draggable({
                appendTo: '.content', //This is just a higher level DOM element
                revert: true,
                cursor: 'pointer',
                zIndex: 1500, // Make sure draggable drags above everything else
                containment: 'DOM',
                helper: 'clone' //Clone it while dragging (keep original intact)
            });            

Then finally make sure you set the value of the draggable element to what you want to insert, and/or modify the code below to insert the element (span) of your choice.

        $sHTML .= "
".$config[1]."
";
