Couple of issues using the Alpha version of PowerCMS/mySQLi

Hi Ray, I have a couple of small problems on the sites I've upgraded using the Alpha version of PowerCMS.

First issue is that the Hide Live Edit button doesn't work.

Second issue is with the HTML Editor instance on the contents_update.php page. When I paste material from Word, I like to strip out all the extra formatting but keep the basic structure such as bullets, hyperlinks, bold/italic etc. On a site that's still running the previous version of PowerCMS this works great with "Plain text only" unticked and"Keep structure from Word" ticked in the Editor settings - I even saved this as a preset. However when I try to replicate this on the updated site, it will only paste in completely unformatted text. Is it possible to have this work in the same way as on the old site?

Can you send me a url, FTP access, and steps to reproduce the issue? I'll take a look.

That would be great thanks, details in PM. Can you let me know if you change anything so that I can replicate on the other sites I've updated?

I fixed the issue with the live edit. That is updated in the WA_CMS/WA_CMS.php file.

I also updated the beta zip file with the change.

The latest version of ckeditor does the plain text formatting a little differently.

You can identify what tags, properties, and classes to keep when pasting individually.
You can add it on the update page in the editor code like:

php:
$CKEditor_config["allowedContent"] = 'a[!href]; ul; li{text-align}(someclass); table; tbody; tr; td; div; img; h1; h2; h3; h4; h5';
