JA Spa Edit Articles: Which Editor should I use ?

santulan-life

Hello,
I did install the JA Spa quickstart.
Trying to change the contents of Article "About Us", the standard editor is TinyMCE.
I saw that the HTML code contains many div, class, ...
Of course I don't know which class to use for a new text division.
There is also a video defined with class videoWrapper, but in TinyMCE I cannot see which video it is!

@ all experienced users:
Do you edit the Articles with TinyMCE or with a different Editor?

Does JA Spa use the T4 framework? It is new for me.
Must I use the T4 Page Builder for editing an Article?

Thanks, Gerhard

Hi
You can use any editor you want.
For the custom html Module if you copy and paste it in the article source code it will auto show.
If you want to edit an html content, its best to edit it in the article source code editor as the normal view does not show the HTML tags. So no matter what editor you will use, Each has the option to see the source code (html code) on which you can make changes.

Yes JA Spa is based on T4 framework.
T4 Page builder is different extension as Page builder : https://www.joomlart.com/t4-builder/t4-joomla-page-builder

We want to edit the contents in an easy way. The best would be, to avoid going down to HTLM level.
Therefore we bought now T4 Page Builder Pro and I did install the package.
Using component T4 Page Builder I did import the Spa pages from library.
With "Edit page" and see nicely the page structures and contents.
My idea is that we make all of our Articles with T4 Page Builder.
In that way my collegue, who will not work on HTML, could easily update the page contents.
- Is the T4 Page Builder made for those daily updates?

My next problem is,
I installed the T4 Page Builder package into our JA Spa quickstart Joomla system.
In Joomla quickstart environment there already are many Content - Articles.
Editing a Content - Article, there ist the Button "Toggle T4 Page Builder": I do that
Then (on top-right of the Article) a new blue button is displayed: "Edit"
Now the T4 Page Builder starts, but: the page contents is empty!
Why is that empty?
The Article has definitely a content!

Hi
Kindly confirm T4 page builder and JA Spa are 2 different products.
I think you have confusion as this thread is JA Spa forum for the editor using.
If you have question on T4 builder i suggest you to make a separate post on T4 page builder forum.

T4 is a page builder that help you to make content from pre built sections and blocks.
You can make content article page as well. it will be save in the T4. Joomla articles works as its own as well. So when you edit a article via T4 builder it will work only for Builder content that you will add.

JA Spa that already has Joomla articles does not related to T4 as both are different items.

Thanks Pankaj.
These are my first steps to understand T4 system.
Maybe Joomlart writes a docu
"T4 framework Template and T4 Page Builder: 2 different products"
- What are the best ways to edit T4 Template articles
- For which tasks you should use T4 Page Builder
- How to make a T4 Template website, using T4 Page Builder

I will look to the T4 page builder forum.
