Wyvern

Introduction

Wyvern is built to provide the best content entry workflow possible. It is the first and only editor that integrates seemlessly with all of these popular modules: Structure, Pages, Taxonomy, NavEE*, SafeCracker/Channel Form, and Assets. It was the first ExpressionEngine editor to include a visual editing mode to see separations in your content blocks so your editors do not get confused and mangle the content.

License

For every paid addon you need to validate your license in order to activate the module.

On a local environment, like *.dev *.local *.localhost *.test the license is valid for testing and building a new or existing sites. For every other domain, you need to have a valid license.

Process of validating

Once installed, you will asked to enter your license key. When you entered a valid license you can hit the "Save license" button. This will start validating your license and will redirect you to addons.reinos.nl to login into your account. You can also register a new account in this process.

Control panel overview

Once logged in, you are asked to use your current account or to login with another one.

Control panel overview

Using the current logged in account, the server will check all info related to your license and once valid, it will redirect you back to your site where you see either a success message or an error message.

Control panel overview

License field

This module is using a license field to check if the license for the module is valid or not. On addons.reinos.nl you can check your license and add your valid domains.

Control panel overview

In the Module CP you can enter then your license Control panel overview

When you enter a wrong license, the module will not work and it shows you an warning Control panel overview

Invalid license

Sometimes it happens that the license system says you have an invalid license. When this happens, make sure you have entered your domain url in your account, next to your license on addons.reinos.nl.

If this will not fix your license problem, please contact us on https://addons.reinos.nl/support

Global Settings

This will add dashed borders and visual markers to HTML containers.

Extra CKEditor Config Options

Set any additional CKEditor configuration options here. A list of possible options can be found in the CKEditor API. Set the options in the following format, one option per line and no quotes (the module will handle that for you). You can also use {site_url} or {base_url} as a variable to link extra files.

CKeditor

Wyvern is powered by CKeditor 4.x.x. Also Wyvern will try to ship the latests release on every release of the module.

There are a lot of modules that are used with CKeditor and I will not document this here (of course ;-)) To find the right documentation you can navigate to this page where you can find all modules that are used inside the CKeditor

Update from EE2

If you are updating a site from EE2 to EE3 you probably run into some trouble with Wyvern. To fix the issues, you will have to follow the following steps if you have some kind of PHP errors.

  1. Navigate to the following url http://yourdomain.com/system/index.php?/cp/addons/settings/wyvern/uninstall[?s=......] this wil uninstall only the addon tables and does not remove or change any of your entries.
  2. After you uninstall the module, you will be automatically return to the Addons overview page. From here, install Wyvern as you did with any module in EE
  3. Fill your license in the settings page to activate the Module
  4. Open your custom fieldtypes and resave every Wyvern field so the settings will be applied with the new format.

If this does not work, you can contact us via http://addons.reinos.nl/support
