How to make TracWysiwygPlugin the default handler

[Matt Callaghan]

How can we set this module as the default handler for editing wiki?

It's nice that it saves user information choice (i.e. if I choose text block it will remember, and if i choose WYSIWYG it will remember)

But setting it as default would be good.

I thought you could do this in the trac.ini with:

[trac]
default_handler = TracWysiwygPlugin

but it doesn't work ... perhaps I have the module name wrong?

Is it possible to make tracwysiwyg the default handler?

Any news on this? It would be very useful in situations where you want more people to use Trac who are not technical.

Plus, the user's choice is only saved in that browser, so its not a set-it-and-forget-it deal for people who use multiple computers/browsers.

I'm also interested in this

We also need this. I tried changing getEditorMode function in wysiwyg.js. But my changes get overwritten. Looks like wysiwyg.js gets dynamically generated.

It'd be great.

Hey there,

If your web server is Apache, you can use its config file to set a cookie, to make TracWysiwygPlugin the default handler:

LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so

<Location /trac>
	<IfModule headers_module>
		Header add Set-Cookie: "tracwysiwyg=wysiwyg; path=/trac;"
	</IfModule>	
</Location>

Best regards

There should be an option in trac.ini to allow the default to be changed, modifying apache is a horrible hack.

I agree--having this be an option in trac.ini (i.e. an option to the plugin) would be way better.

Replying to anonymous:

Well, that depends on your point of view I guess. From my point of view it's a simple, maintainable workaround for people who need the functionality right now, and cannot wait for the ini-option to be implemented. I do not consider it a permanent solution.

Thanks for the tip. I modified getEditorMode function in wysiwyg.js, then rebuilt the egg.

That did it.

default: mode=null; mode = 'wysiwyig';
