TinyMCE Setup - Explanation of settings

Hi,

I don’t need (for me or my client) to have most of the TinyMCE features - just a few. Can I just start deleting unneeded things from these settings?

But we do need to be able to change font color. Not sure how to do that.




This is the default setting:

Plugin Configuration:&tinyFormats=Block Formats;text;p,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,div,blockquote,code,pre,address &entity_encoding=Entity Encoding;list;named,numeric,raw;named &entities=Entities;text; &tinyPathOptions=Path Options;list;rootrelative,docrelative,fullpathurl;docrelative &tinyCleanup=Cleanup;list;enabled,disabled;enabled &tinyResizing=Advanced Resizing;list;true,false;false &advimage_styles=Advanced Image Styles;text; &advlink_styles=Advanced Link Styles;text; &disabledButtons=Disabled Buttons;text; &tinyLinkList=Link List;list;enabled,disabled;enabled &webtheme=Web Theme;list;simple,advanced,editor,custom;simple &webPlugins=Web Plugins;text;style,advimage,advlink,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,paste,fullscreen,nonbreaking,xhtmlxtras,visualchars,media &webButtons1=Web Buttons 1;text;undo,redo,selectall,separator,pastetext,pasteword,separator,search,replace,separator,nonbreaking,hr,charmap,separator,image,link,unlink,anchor,media,separator,cleanup,removeformat,separator,fullscreen,print,code,help &webButtons2=Web Buttons 2;text;bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,sub,sup,separator,bullist,numlist,outdent,indent,separator,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,separator,styleselect,formatselect,separator,styleprops &webButtons3=Web Buttons 3;text; &webButtons4=Web Buttons 4;text; &webAlign=Web Toolbar Alignment;list;ltr,rtl;ltr


Block Formats:p,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,div,blockquote,code,pre,address

Web Plugins:style,advimage,advlink,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,paste,fullscreen,nonbreaking,xhtmlxtras,visualchars,media

Web Buttons 1:
undo,redo,selectall,separator,pastetext,pasteword,separator,search,replace,separator,nonbreaking,hr,charmap,separator,image,link,unlink,anchor,media,separator,cleanup,removeformat,separator,fullscreen,print,code,help

Web Buttons 2:bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,sub,sup,separator,bullist,numlist,outdent,indent,separator,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,separator,styleselect,formatselect,separator,styleprops

What about changing (or deleting unwanted) buttons of TinyMCE in Manager -> Resources -> Plugins -> TinyMCE -> Configuration -> "block formats, web buttons"?

For changing colors the (for me) best way is defining classes for colors in a CSS file and setting this in Tools -> Configuration -> TinyMCE settings -> CSS selectors as "Red=classname_for_red;Green=classname_for_green;andsoon..." (Old post: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,4673.0.html)

Thanks rasc.

I installed the Xinha beta and it did what I needed, out-of-the-box. So, I’ll stick with that. I noticed and thought about the CSS classes but was not sure how to do it, thanks for the link if I do decide to go back to TinyMCE at any time.
