Medium Editor (Umbraco v8 Property Editor)

Medium Editor is a rich text editor that is written in vanilla JavaScript and has no dependencies for a frontend application framework.

As a property editor for Umbraco v8, you can use this as an alternative to the TinyMCE editor provided out of the box.

E.g. I use this Medium Editor property editor in instances where I'd like a single line of text, but still want to allow editors to have some basic formatting opportunities (bold, italic, underline, hyperlink).

Installation

Just copy App_Plugins/MediumEditor to your Umbraco installation. You should already have an App_Plugins directory with other folders and extensions inside. You just need to copy MediumEditor into this folder.

You may need to restart the Umbraco web application so it picks up on the new property editor and becomes available for you to use.

Once available, you'll see Medium Editor as an option for new properties.

What's next

  1. Expose more of Medium Editor's configuration as prevalues.
  2. Is there any reason to make this an Umbraco package?
  3. Expand on the readme, add a screenshot, clear up any questions.
  4. Any interest for an Umbraco v7 property editor? Maybe a v7 branch is in order?
