How can I disable inline editing of a tag's text while still allowing oxy_editor support?

[micah.hainline]

I have a tag in oxygen Author that I want to edit using a combo. I can do this, and I can also hide the text with the following css:

Code: Select all

mytag {

    visibility:-oxy-collapse-text;

    content: oxy_editor(type, combo,  

						edit, "#text",

						values, "value1, value2",

						labels, "my label one, my label two"

						editable, false);

}



mytag:before {

	content: "choose mytag value: ";

}

Unfortunately, the cursor can still be placed after the combo, and text can be typed there. How can I disable the ability for the user to type, while retaining the ability to update the text using the combo?

Hi,

I suggest implementing an ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorSchemaAwareEditingHandlerAdapter. On methods handleTyping() and handlePasteFragment() you should reject the edit in "mytag" element, something like:

Code: Select all

try {

      AuthorNode nodeAtOffset = authorAccess.getDocumentController().getNodeAtOffset(offset);

      if ("mytag".equals(nodeAtOffset.getDisplayName())) {

        throw new InvalidEditException("Reject", "Allow edit only through form controls.", false);

      }

    } catch (BadLocationException e1) {

      e1.printStackTrace();

    }

Best regards,
Alex
