      The following is a very basic set of instructions to confirm the plugins are behaving as expected. It is by no means exhaustive and it is encouraged that you experiment.

      Click on the headings to take you to the relevant Tiny Premium plugin page where you can learn more about their intended behaviour.

      Setup

      1. Login as an Admin
      2. Go to Site admin -> Plugins -> Mange editors and ensure TinyMCE is the preferred editor.
      3. Go to Site admin -> Plugins -> Tiny Premium and enter in a valid API key (reach out if you need assistance in getting one. You can also get a free trial at https://www.tiny.cloud/).
      4. Click on your user icon and choose 'Profile'. Then click 'Edit profile'. We just need a page with an editor on it.

      Smoke tests

      Advanced Tables

      1. Confirm that the ‘Table’ menu contains the new ‘Sort’ and ‘Row numbering’ items.

      1. Confirm the ‘Typography’ icon is present to the right of the Italics button.

      TinyMCE offer a range of Premium plugins which can be loaded from their site after inserting a license key (paid addition).

      Pricing: https://www.tiny.cloud/pricing/
      List of plugins: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/6/plugins/

      To integrate with Moodle we should:

      • review the prototype I put together before and make sure it works
      • convert it into a new plugin (tiny_premium located in lib/editor/tiny/plugins/premium)
      • check each plugin and remove:
        • any plugin which requires server components
        • any plugin which requires administrator configuration (e.g. Advanced Templates - though this requires a newer version of Tiny than we currently use)
        • any plugin which conflicts with an existing Moodle feature (e.g. Accessibility checker, MoxieManager)
      • then for any of those plugins that we do not include, we should create an issue in which we will:
        • determine if we wish to have that feature or not (if no, we'll close the issue)
        • determine what UI changes are required for it (e.g. any site and/or user preferences)

      Ideally we'll have be able to make the plugin available in plugins DB for stables too.

      Old description:

      We should look into:

      • whether it would be technically possible to support the Premium plugins natively in Moodle without requiring code changes
      • whether Tiny themselves are a viable integration partner for Moodle (pinging carles.aguilo@moodle.com)
      • which plugins/integrations we can support

      I believe that we should be able to add support for a license key field within Moodle's site administration and, if present, make the premium plugins available. This would be basic premium features. It may be possible to integrate additional premium features via further configuration.

      Compatible Premium features

      We need to assess which of the premium features we can include.

      Server-side requirements

      The following premium features require additional server-side configuration which means that we would not enable by them without additional configuration (that is a checkbox/text field):

      • Spell checking
      • Export
      • Enhanced image editing
      • Enhanced media embed
      • Link checker

      Source: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/6/introduction-to-premium-selfhosted-services/

      Moodle-plugins better suited

      Some of the premium features will be better server as Moodle plugins anyway

      • a11y checker?
      • code editor
      • MoxieManager (File and image management)
      Simply incompatible with Moodle at this time

      Some are just not likely to be compatible with Moodle at this time:

      • Real-time collaboration
      • Checklists
      • Mentions

      Getting started

      Andrew has included a proof of concept to get things started, here are some notes on what's required to continue that work:

      1. Move the code to a tiny plugin
      2. Set up the configuration for the features that will be included and finish the implementation.
      3. Analyse and document which features are compatible with Moodle and make sense to include in Moodle. In case it needs further investigation, create a new issue for it inside the same epic.

      NOTE: Do NOT include in the plugin any features that need extra configuration, create a new issue for those.
