Question

I know that there are already richtext plugins for grails like RichUI, CKEditor, FckEditor etc, but is there any plugin which binds itself with grails so well that when I can use a rich textbox just by specifying widget attribute under the constraints clause
Example

static constraints = {
        dateCreated display:false
        lastUpdated display:false
        question nullable:true, widget:"richtext"
    }

I don’t know of such a feature, but I guess you can solve this by yourself:

• use install-templates to get the scaffolding (and generate-all) templates http://grails.org/doc/latest/ref/Command%20Line/install-templates.html
• you’ll find a file called renderEditor.template and in this a method called renderStringEditor
• there you’ll find how to render the input tag based on the value of the widget constraint

Would be a nice addition to the existing plugins.

btw: FckEditor seems to be a little bit old and I guess CKEditor should be used instead.
