This evening I granted permission for Blojsom to use the javaScript Quicktags I created for Tasks then gave to WordPress. I think it’s cool that other projects can just plug them in like that. It’s also cool that they asked. 🙂
If anyone else wants to use the Quicktags code and the GPL (WordPress) and BSD (Blojsom) licenses aren’t cutting it for you, let me know and I can probably release a version under the license you need. Maybe I should just make them available under an LGPL license, I think that would work for most everyone.
I think this begets the question: What exactly is this javascript quicktags?
Hey Alex,
I happened by on the right day I think. I had downloaded a bunch of JS stuff last Friday to implement some buttons on my blog that will insert tags when posting comments.
I came across “JavaScript to insert text at the current position of the cursor in a textarea.” on ‘software->javascript’ and am going to pilfer it to make something that may be like this quick tags that you describe…
Hope that’s okay…
The Quicktags can be seen in the Tasks demo (click on Preferences, click on Blog Settings, click ‘enable HTML toolbar’) and in the WordPress admin interface. They are for inserting HTML tags into content.
Alex:
I really do think that you should LGPL these; last I read the LGPL’s basics, it seemed the perfect thing for libs like this.
JS Quicktags Under LGPL
I’ve released my JavaScript Quicktags under the LGPL license as planned. This means that anyone (open source projects, closed source, commercial, etc.) can use them.
Here is an example page so you can see how they work, and here is the download.
