netgen/richtext-datatype-bundle

Netgen RichText datatype bundle allows eZ Publish Legacy to work with rich text (ezrichtext) field type available in eZ Platform

Netgen Rich Text datatype bundle

This bundle implements legacy eZ Publish datatype counterpart of rich text field type (ezrichtext) from eZ Platform., _(*1)

The point of the datatype is to enable eZ Publish Legacy to edit and publish content which has a rich text field., _(*2)

As it is not possible to use Alloy Editor outside of eZ Platform UI, this bundle only shows the raw XML content of the field in a text area., _(*3)

It is, however, possible to manually change the data in the text area and it will be persisted (together with relations and links to embedded content)., _(*4)

The bundle is still in prototype phase, but basic tests showed it working correctly., _(*5)
