TinyMCE GZip Compressor Ruby on Rails Plugin - Take 2

UPDATE: I've finally added conditional Gzip compression. See TinyMCE GZip Compressor Ruby on Rails Plugin - Take 3 .
After posting in the TinyMCE forums about my GZip Compressor, Spocke let me know that they revamped the other Gzip Compressors, and that I should work off those. I checked it out and the code is a lot cleaner, so I went ahead and refactored.
This time though I went all out and created it as a plugin. It supports caching and gzip compression with one caveat. If you enable caching, then it will always gzip the output. This means that browsers that don't support gzip will break. This shouldn't be an issue since any browser that can run TinyMCE should support gzip.
TinyMCE GZip Compressor Ruby on Rails Plugin
To install it, extract the plugin to vendor/plugins. The path should look like RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/tiny_mce_gzip.
Add the following line to routes.rb
TinyMceGzip::Routes.add_routes
Change your tiny_mce javascript include to the following.
<%= javascript_include_tag("tiny_mce/tiny_mce_gzip") %>
That's it!
This plugin assumes that TinyMCE is installed in /public/javascripts/tiny_mce.
Let me know if you have any issues, comments or questions.
Comments
Does this assume that the other TinyMCE plugin is installed?
D'oh! Didn't see the last line of you post. The other TinyMCE plugin results in this javascript being put under public/javascript/tinymce so that's a pretty good indication that it's required.

One last comment. I promise. Any chance that you be moving this plugin to a subversion repository? If you don't have or don't want to set up the means, rubyforge seems like a good candidate.
I mention this because I prefer to use subversion with externals for plugins.

Walter
I was going to wait until I had at least a few people's feedback before I start a project. If you can get it working fairly easily, I'll go ahead and set one up.
How does this correctly tie in with the tiny_mce plugin that is located in vendor/plugins/tiny_mce - feel free to email me
I finally smoothed out some bumps with using the TinyMCE plugin with ajaxscaffold generated code (see http://blog.katipo.co.nz/ for details). After I get some other work out of the way, I'll give your code a try.
When I do, I'll let you know how it goes.
Cheers,
Walter
Walter,
You don't need the rails TinyMCE plug-in to use this gzip plug-in.
This plugin (gzip) works fine. Nice job!
There is no such file in public\javascripts\tiny_mce\tiny_mce_gzip.js !
So <%= javascript_include_tag("tiny_mce\tiny_mce_gzip") %> isn't gonna cut it.
I've copied your file lib\tiny_mce_gzip.js over, but still nothing.
Do I add the routing line anywhere I want in routes.rb?
Do I need to include this plugin somehow maybe?
Thanks!
Cool idea! I got it to work and it does shrink the filesize down to a more manageable 65k. It seems to take a little while to gunzip it on the client side though (5-10 seconds) and on fast connections it seems like it might be faster to just download the original. Anyone else experiencing this? The real problem is that during the 5-10 seconds of gunzipping the file, the browser (Firefox 2.0) appears to lockup. It always recovers, but still, that's a rather undesirable effect. Perhaps too, it's that I'm running in development mode. I'll have to test it in production mode with full caching to see if that makes a difference. Regardless, thanks for the great work!
Hi,
Sounds like a great plugin. I cant get it to work unfortunately.
I continually get:
A copy of ApplicationController has been removed from the module tree but is still active!
I was wondering if you might be able to help. Im running PR 1.2.
I have not tried it with Rails 1.2 yet. Let me give it a go and see if I get the same error.
thanks very much.
I could very well be doing something wrong. But the new routing in 1.2 made me think it might be related to the release.
Sorry it took me so long. I tried the plugin using the latest edge, and it seems to work fine. I'll look up that error, but any more information on your end would be helpful.
Ill try it again.
I was just doing something stupid Im sure. Ill let you know.
Thanks again.
Hi,
Very nice! Tho your package doesn't seem to be available anymore: Page not found...
I get the same error (ArgumentError (A copy of ApplicationController has been removed from the module tree but is still active!):
I'm in the same 'could be my stupid error' camp, but haven't found it yet.
I followed all the steps above but I can't figure out how to get the TinyMCE editor to show up for my textarea. Do I need another plugin or another piece of code?
Look at the examples on the TinyMCE website.
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/example_full.php?example=true
Great plugin!
However, I found the new added compressing controller "tiny_mce_gzip_js" takes quite some time, which offsets the time saved by downloading the gzip file.
Is there a way to just generate the gzip only once?
Thanks!
Tony,
It should be caching it. I'll look into this a little later.
Show !
Very Good !
I don't know how to use TinyMCE GZip Compressor Ruby on Rails Plugin ,who help me?
This didn't work for me ... I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing. Did the latest rails release break this?
I short-term solution to the ApplicationController error is found here http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/rubyonrails-talk/3507571.
How to disable the TinyMCE for one textarea in my page? I'm using ruby on rails.
Thanks

See You have only 2 provissions. either you can change all textarea to MCE or not. ok.
dont think much bigger :D . cool this foolish plugin made my system go 500 error.
:-(
I disabled TinyMCE for one of my textareas!!! Use code like this:
#when intitializing in <header> in rhtml
tinyMCE.init({mode : "textareas", editor_deselector : "mceNoEditor"});
...
#in <body>
<%= text_area 'event_photo_loader', :caption, :size => "20x3", :class => "mceNoEditor" %>
Remi, it's simple! Just set editor_deselector during initialization and use this name in the capacity of class for your form-item. Enjoy Ruby-with-TinyMCE!
Very Pizdatiy Post
