Hello to all,

I was wondering if it was possible to expand the editors toolset? At the moment I am running TinyMC but the tool set seems very limited compared to other cms's out there. For example adding buttons to allow tables to be created. Is it better to install FCKeditor or can tinyMC be expanded?

thanks,

Glenn

It's easy to add buttons. Let's say you want to add the Media button, you would do it this way:

1. Download the full version of TinyMCE 2.1.2 from SourceForge:

      http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103281&package_id=111430

2. Unzip the archive to your HD and browse to the plugins directory

3. Copy the media directory to the plugins directory of your CMSMS TinyMCE module

4. Edit tinyconfig.php, change line 83 from:

Code:

$plugins="cmsmslink,fullscreen,advimage,simplebrowser,paste,advlink";

to:

Code:

$plugins="cmsmslink,fullscreen,advimage,simplebrowser,paste,advlink,media";

5. Open TinyMCE in Admin and click on the Toolbars tab. Change Toolbar 2 from:

Code:

bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,outdent,indent,separator,undo,redo,separator,cmsmslink,link,unlink,anchor,image,charmap,cleanup,separator,forecolor,backcolor,separator,code,fullscreen,help

to:

Code:

bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,outdent,indent,separator,undo,redo,separator,cmsmslink,link,unlink,anchor,image,media,charmap,cleanup,separator,forecolor,backcolor,separator,code,fullscreen,help

That will add the Media button for you. Use the same process for any other 20 or so buttons you want to add.

For example adding buttons to allow tables to be created.

Only for info:
for tables there is a checkbox (first field in TinyMCE WYSIWYG Basic administration): Allow table operations

It's around row #88

         <?php
         $plugins="cmsmslink,fullscreen,advimage,simplebrowser,paste,advlink";
         if ($tiny->GetPreference("allow_tables","0")=="1") {
           $plugins.=",table";

I often add "pasteword" after "paste" in the toolbar (config, no need to modify code).
