New TinyMCE Moodle 4.1

[ptramonti]

Good morning,
This plugin doesn't seem to work with the new TinyMCE editor introduced with Moodle 4.1: in the menu of the editor doesn't appear the possibility to choose the language to apply to the selected text.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
Paolo

Hi @ptramonti

this plugin was developed for TinyMCE 3.x.. The new TinyMCE version included in Moodle 4.1 is 6.x (I see there is still the old 3.5.11 version included too). The plugin architecture and the API for plugins has changed a lot.

At this point it basically means that the plugin needs to be rewritten almost from scratch. We can resuse a few parts, but all the plumbing with the TinyMCE plugin API needs to be created a new.

I can't promise anything, as I'm not using Moodle at the moment, and I don't know if I will have spare time to work on this.
