Set the default editor in Plone for all existing members.

Project description

Introduction

When you install a new visual editor in your Plone Site, you can set wysiwyg_editor in portal_memberdata to the proper value for this new editor. This only means that new users will get this new editor. To change the editor for all existing users, use this package.

This makes available a browser view @@set-default-editor and follow the instructions. You can choose to run this in dry-run mode and see how many users would be changed. When dry run is not selected, details are logged to the instance log.

On the same form you can also select to set the default editor for new users at the same time as changing it for existing users.

Todo

  • Add tests.

Contributors

I (Maurits van Rees) found the main code in an article by Rob Gietema. He apparently got the script from Kelly Craig. And I have seen the same code in a post to the plone-setup list by Reinout van Rees. So I claim it back in defense of our family honour. ;-)
