imio.omnia.tinymce 1.0a4

TinyMCE plugin integrating iMio's Omnia AI API for Plone

AI-powered text actions inside the Plone 6 TinyMCE editor, part of the Omnia suite by iMio.

This package adds a TinyMCE plugin that lets editors expand, improve, reduce, correct, translate or make text accessible — all without leaving the rich-text editor. It relies on imio.omnia.core for API connectivity and the shared Omnia control panel.

Features

The plugin ships seven AI actions, each available from the toolbar button, the right-click context menu, and a keyboard shortcut chord (Alt+O then an action key):

Action	Key	Description
Expand text	d	Make the selected text longer
Improve text	a	Enhance style and quality
Reduce text	r	Shorten the selected text
Correct text	c	Fix spelling and grammar
Make accessible	x	Simplify for WCAG / easy-read compliance
Translate text	t	Translate to a target language
Generate (*)	g	Create new content from a free-text prompt (side panel)

(*) The generate action is disabled by default — it is not yet exposed by the upstream API.

Text transformation actions open a floating panel near the selection (or centred with a blur overlay, depending on the chosen mode). The generate action opens a side panel with prompt input and a history carousel.

Installation

Add the egg to your buildout:

[buildout]

...

eggs =
    imio.omnia.tinymce

Then run bin/buildout.

The package is auto-included in Plone via z3c.autoinclude.plugin, so no ZCML slug is needed.

imio.omnia.core must be installed first. Declare the GenericSetup dependency in your profile’s metadata.xml if you build on top of this package:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<metadata>
  <version>1000</version>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>profile-imio.omnia.tinymce:default</dependency>
  </dependencies>
</metadata>

Configuration

All settings are editable from the TinyMCE tab of the Omnia control panel (Site Setup > Omnia > @@omnia-tinymce-settings).

Registry settings

Stored under the prefix imio.omnia.tinymce.browser.controlpanel.IOmniaTinyMCESettings:

Field	Purpose
enabled_features	Tuple of active actions (default: all except generate)
show_toolbar	Display the Omnia toolbar button (default: True)
show_context_menu	Display entries in the context menu (default: True)
enable_shortcuts	Enable keyboard shortcuts (default: True)
translate_languages	Available translation language codes (default: fr, nl, de, en; all options: fr, nl, de, en, es, it)
default_translate_language	Default target language (default: fr)
floating_panel_mode	inline (near selection) or blur (centred overlay)
floating_panel_width	Width in pixels (e.g. 500) or full

How it works

Plugin loading

The TinyMCE plugin is registered via three Plone registry records set by the default GenericSetup profile:

• plone.custom_plugins — registers the omnia plugin JS (++plone++imio.omnia.tinymce/omnia-tinymce.js).

• plone.custom_buttons — adds the omnia button to the TinyMCE toolbar.

• plone.bundles/omnia-tinymce — loads the scoped CSS bundle globally.

Config bridge (viewlet)

An OmniaConfigViewlet registered in plone.htmlhead renders a <script> tag that monkey-patches tinymce.init() to inject omnia_* options read from the Plone registry. This bridges:

• Settings from IOmniaCoreSettings — base URL, application ID, municipality ID.

• Settings from IOmniaTinyMCESettings — enabled features, UI mode, shortcuts, translation languages, panel dimensions.

• An omnia_auth_token — a Plone CSRF authenticator token required by the @@omnia-api proxy for every POST request.

API requests go through the @@omnia-api proxy view provided by imio.omnia.core, so no API credentials are exposed to the browser. By default, callers must have the imio.omnia.core: Access Omnia API proxy permission, which imio.omnia.core grants to Authenticated users.

Uninstall

The uninstall handler removes the omnia entries from plone.custom_plugins and plone.custom_buttons, and disables the CSS bundle.

Frontend development

The TinyMCE plugin source lives in browser/resources/ as a git submodule (ia/omnia-tinymce). Built artifacts are committed to browser/static/.

Rebuild after JS changes:

make build-js          # npm ci + vite build + copy to static/
make clean-js          # remove built artifacts

Run the Storybook dev environment:

make dev               # Storybook on http://localhost:6006

The frontend stack uses Vite (library mode), Preact, Tailwind CSS v4 (om: prefix, scoped to [data-omnia]), and Motion for drag / resize.
