No JCE Editor after Updating to SP Pagebuilder 5.1.7

Asked by Rainer Höhn 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Today I updated my SP Pagebuilder Pro to version 5.1.7. Unfortunately, my JCE editor has now disappeared from the text addons and I can't find a solution as to how I can show it again. There is only a very sparsely equipped editor with which you cannot work properly. How do I get my JCE editor back?

i noticed this issue as well - i looked around sp page builder for options to see if there was something we could do to choose an editor, but was not able to find an option like this.

we do have a backup copy that we save of the different versions of the sp page builder plugin, so if you have access to v5.1.6.. you can install that again, and gain back jce access in your text element editor.

woah! granted that i have given the new text editor zero chances.. this is kind of sad news. though sp page builder never really played nice with jce anyways, so maybe it's something that was needed. in time, will tell.

Hello!

Why don't you give the user the choice of which editor he uses?
JCE is the best editor.
The new editor is not usable.

With JCE you could do everything from font sizes to tables.
Now almost nothing works anymore.
How are you supposed to write and format texts so sensibly?

Please undo this nonsense!
How customers pay a lot of money for the page builder!

There's the JCE, like give it back to us, please!

Hi,

Let's be clear: of course, first of all, kudos for all the developments and innovations you are working on, which makes Joomshaper a reliable partner for web development. And in itself, the simplified editor is a logical solution for easy text changes, etc.

It kinda makes sense to implement your own New Rich Text Editor for SP Page Builder to simplify the text content creation process for our users (aka end users?) but please give us developers the option to switch to the plugins we (also) love and work with to create solutions for our customers (our end users).

Kind regards,
Hans

Hello!

That's a good point.

I don't know how to explain to my customers that they can no longer edit the texts comfortably.
Above all, it is a must to set the editor window to large.
I ask that you immediately provide the opportunity to choose the editor yourself.

Thus I am frozen out at 5.1.6? JCE is light years ahead of any text editor anywhere - it will take years for anyone to catch up, not weeks, and only if they decide to get serious about acheiving parity. Many of us have entire workflows built around JCE, and we have pages that are core Joomla (with JCE) within the same site.

I don't object to having the option - but the choice should be up the designers who deal with nontechnical clients and have to train them. So here is Jomshaper injecting itself into my customer relations.

A possible compromise here is to use a similar solution as in Yootheme Pro. When editing a text block, their own version of Tinyme (not the Joomla version) is loaded, with a button in the editor toolbar to open a new modal window with the default Joomla editor (Tinymce, JCE, CodeMirror or whatever). Once the user has finished creating or editing the content, it is inserted into the original editor for further editing, saving etc.

Hello!

And how do I get the button into the new editor?

We need a solution very quickly because it simply doesn't work that way.
I really wonder what the Page Builder developers were thinking.
Do you want to get rid of all customers?
