Mojo FckConfig.js

Joe, after upgrading to the version of the fckeditor that had the templates, my users complained about the missing font buttons. Found that the

- ['FontFormat','FontName','FontSize'],
- ['TextColor','BGColor'],

was missing from the toolbarsets in the latest mojofckconfig.js. I am fixing mine, just wanted to let you know.

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

Oddly enough, adding those back in to my toolbar sets did not add them back...

EDIT: I just verified the font buttons were missing from the demo.mojoportal.com site here too.

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

Hi Tim,

They were removed on purpose and a note about the reasons why you are better off without them was added to the FAQ recently.

If you really want to use them then you should use a custom config file for fckeditor because I don't want them in the default one.

If you make a change to the config file it requires clearing the browser cache to load the new config js.

I am planning in addition to the ability to edit the content templates, to also have the ability to edit items in the Style dropdown. This way you can predefine some font styles using CSS classes and let the user choose them from the style list so it only assigns css classes that change the font. That way you can give the users what they want but not have hard coded fonts in the content that can't be easily changed by the skin.

Best,

Joe

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

I have my custom config setup, with the added font buttons back in. I was already using a custom one to support the FLV player dialog. Yet the font buttons are still not showing up.

I like your plans for the future, it is just that the user using the site is not capable of editing the source directly. He has been copying into the editor from MS Word with disastrous formatting results. :)

Is there something else I am missing to add these back in?

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

Make sure you are adding it to the toolbar named FullWithTemplates. Go to a page that doesn't have the editor, clear the browser cache, then it should work.

Pasting from Word is something I would never do myself, it creates horrible markup and usually makes a page not pass the w3c validator, but I know people do it all the time.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

Just curious, why would removing this universal key disable the font buttons?

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

Removing what universal key? I don't know what you mean.

btw, I'm not sure you understood about how the style dropdown can work, the user does not have to go to source view and set a css class. The user can type some text, select it then choose a style from the dropdown that would wrap it in a span that has a css class you defined with particular fonts and colors. Its possble currently to edit that list by editing the ClientScript/mojofckstyles.xml file, so even though we don't have the UI feature to edit them yet, you could create a set of styles that your users could easily use.

Best,

Joe

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

NVM about the universalkey, I saw a comment in the js about it getting removed, and I thought it was relevant. I agree with your sentiment in the reasons for removing the buttons, I just don't think my users will.

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

I hear ya, sometimes you just got to do what they want. One of my customers wanted them back too even after I explained the downside of using them. I watch them create content and instead of using headings they set big font sizes so they end up with not very semantic structure, but its their site what can one do but cringe and bear it ;-)

Cheers,

Joe

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

Hahaha, sigh. I got the font buttons back, but now the templates button is missing. Here is my toolbar:

FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["FullWithTemplates"] = [
['Source','Templates'],
['Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste', 'PasteText', 'PasteWord', '-', 'Print', 'SpellCheck'],
['Undo','Redo','-','Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','RemoveFormat'],
'/',
['Blockquote','Bold','Italic','Underline','StrikeThrough','-','Subscript','Superscript'],
['OrderedList','UnorderedList','-','Outdent','Indent'],
['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyFull'],
['Link','Unlink','Anchor'],
['Image','Flash','flvPlayer','Table','Rule','Smiley','SpecialChar'],
'/',
['Style','FontFormat','FontName','FontSize'],
['TextColor','BGColor'],
['FitWindow']
] ;

I ran a compare using UltraCompare against the one in svn, and the font changes, and my flvplayer changes are the only changes. I am reminded of an old song : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TDqvD34hEA LOL.

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

I added the 'Templates' menu to the Full toolbar, and now it is showing up.

FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["Full"] = [
['Source','Templates'],

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

Oh, I guess the blog just uses the Full toolbar. The widgets wouldn't work right in an outbound RSS feed I think was my reasoning for not using it there.

Best,

Joe

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

Ah, that is a good point, as the css is needed for the templates which wont ship with the RSS, I will remove them from the templates from the Full.

Re: Mojo FckConfig.js

Yeah its both CSS and javascript that won't work in the outbound feed. The widgets need both the css and the javascript. Still I may change the blog to use the FullWithTemplates or make a config option for that because once its possible to edit templates its conceivable to have templates that don't need special css or js, but just stubb out some content structure. Its just the ones included now all do need the css and js.

jQuery makes it so nice because we just wire up those widgets based on a css class with a little snippet of js like this at the bottom of the page:

$('div.mojo-accordion').accordion(); $('div.mojo-tabs').tabs();

I even use jQuery to hookup the YUI tabs like this:

$('div.yui-navset').each(function(n){var myTabs = new YAHOO.widget.TabView(this);})

though I'm sure there is a YUI equivalent way of doing it.

Best,

Joe
