TinyMCE Buttons - Yes Again [Resolved]

    I’m trying to get the remaining buttons of TinyMCE installed for rows 3 and 4.

    I’ve been all over this forum and the moxiecode site, and for the life of me I can’t figure out how to get them to appear.

    I’m guessing I just need to paste in a cs list in the fields for rows 3 and 4, of my config settings - see screenshot below. (Am I wrong?)

    But I can’ seem to find such a list. Does one exist? Is there a default list of all the buttons?

    Thanks.

      This is a full theme setup that is in the example package that comes with tinymce 3.1.0.1, and I think it has everything available enabled.
      http://wiki.moxiecode.com/examples/tinymce/installation_example_02.php

      // Theme options
                theme_advanced_buttons1 : "save,newdocument,|,bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,styleselect,formatselect,fontselect,fontsizeselect",
                theme_advanced_buttons2 : "cut,copy,paste,pastetext,pasteword,|,search,replace,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,|,undo,redo,|,link,unlink,anchor,image,cleanup,help,code,|,insertdate,inserttime,preview,|,forecolor,backcolor",
                theme_advanced_buttons3 : "tablecontrols,|,hr,removeformat,visualaid,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,emotions,iespell,media,advhr,|,print,|,ltr,rtl,|,fullscreen",
                theme_advanced_buttons4 : "insertlayer,moveforward,movebackward,absolute,|,styleprops,|,cite,abbr,acronym,del,ins,attribs,|,visualchars,nonbreaking,template,pagebreak",

        Breezer,

        sorry to be dense here, but I’m using TinyMCE 3.1.0.1a, so how do I activate that theme?

        I can’t see anywhere where it gives me that option or even asks me for it.

          That was just an example of the way the button rows are formatted and the available buttons. You would paste them into the corresponding rows in the settings screen.

          As per your snapshot above, the theme_advanced_buttons1 content would be Web Buttons 1, and so on with all 4 rows according to the options you want enabled.

          The other settings in the control panel correspond to the other init() setttings you see in the example link.

          To see how it is injected into your page, open a document for edit and view source of the page.

            Breezer,

            please be patient I must be missing something fundamental here.

            Yes I know it’s an example and I know I have to paste something into rows 3 and 4, but where is that something to be pasted?

            Is there a cs list I can paste in, or do I have to make one up from scratch for every button?

            I’m looking for that list? Am I wasting my time expecting it to be that simple? smiley


            OK Hang on a minute, I’ve just seen something that looks promising.

            Will post again shortly.

              Getting close but no cigar yet.

              Found some lists

              tablecontrols,|,hr,removeformat,visualaid,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,emotions,iespell,media,advhr,|,print,|,ltr,rtl,|,fullscreen

              insertlayer,moveforward,movebackward,absolute,|,styleprops,|,cite,abbr,acronym,del,ins,attribs,|,visualchars,nonbreaking,template,pagebreak

              Except pasting them into the config settings of TinyMCE as per my original screenshot didn’t achieve anything.

              So then I went to the config settings for the site Tools - Configuration - Interface and Features and pasted them in there.

              A result of sorts, when I go to edit a document I at least get four rows of buttons, except there’s nowhere near the number of buttons I pasted in, and what there is there is inactive.

              Most of what’s there is just separator bars, but at least I’ve got the extra rows.

              Now how do I make the actual buttons appear?

                oops

                remove the | from the list.

                A little better but I’m still missing loads of buttons.

                This is like pulling teeth.
