JCE 2.2.8 released

This update fixes a few bugs and introduces a few new features in the JCE Administration. In addition the "Paste" plugin has been renamed to "Clipboard" as it now includes some control over the "Cut" and "Copy" buttons too.

In an effort to provide support for other databases in Joomla! 2.5 and later, all queries used by the editor have been converted to use the JDatabaseQuery method introduced in Joomla! 2.5.

UPDATE : JCE 2.2.8.1 fixes an error when opening the Paste or Paste as Plain Text dialog and an SQL error in the JCE Installer in Joomla! 1.5

UPDATE : JCE 2.2.8.2 fixes a SQL error when ordering the Profiles and Users lists.

UPDATE : JCE 2.2.8.3 fixes an SQL error when upgrading the Profiles table to add a new column, some translation issues and a bug where the Border option would always be checked in the Image Manager etc. 

UPDATE : JCE 2.2.8.4 has been released to deal with a few bugs not fixed in the previous updates.

Check out the Changelog for a full list of bug fixes and updates.

Administration changes

There are four notable changes in the JCE Administration in this version : 

Option to set plugin buttons

Some plugins like Clipboard, Tables and XHTMLXtras include multiple buttons. It is now possible to select which buttons are displayed in the editor toolbar for each plugin.

Add-ons enabled by checkbox 

Add-ons for each plugin such as JCE MediaBox popups, Joomla! Links etc. were previously enabled/disabled by selecting an option from a select list. This has now been replaced with a checkbox. A slight change to the layout of these add-ons also makes it easier to distinguish the parameters of each layout.

Option to set a default popup

You can now set a default popup option for the Link dialog, Image Manager Extended etc.

Additional default parameters for some plugins

The Link and Image Manager plugins now include options to set default values for all form elements in the dialog.

Work continues on JCE 2.3, which will be compatible with Joomla! 1.5, 2.5 and 3.0. We hope to have this release available some time around the end of October.

Updating to JCE 2.2.8 from existing JCE 2.x versions can be done using the JCE Updater, or the Joomla! Update Manager in Joomla! 2.5. Alternatively, follow the Installation Instructions for a new install or update.
