Creating forms in chunks

When I switch to the WYSIWYG view there are no buttons for creating forms. Am I missing something?

There are different levels of menu for the RichText editors. You can select a more advanced menu in the system configuration. I can’t say how well they work, though.

I edited the configuration for the FCKEditor and changed the "web toolbar set" to advanced. It didn’t make any difference.

All I want to do is create form and email chunks to use with the eform snippet. Sure I could do it by hand, but I’d rather use a WYSIWYG editor, and MODx provides one...

Any ideas? The form buttons show in the editor for content in pages, but not for editing chunks. Is there a way of turning them on for the chunks?

When I originally read this post, I went to my manager to check this out.  no matter what I changed in the "System Configuration", when editing chunks and selecting "Switch to rich text >>", only the basic tool set comes up.  I searched around for a couple hours, but did not find a way to configure the tool bar for this situation.  What I ended up doing is create a new document, use the FCKeditor from that page (which has the full set), created my forms, then clicked "Source", and copy/paste into the chunk.  at that point you may as well use a WYSIWYG editor on your PC. :’(

I think that stuff only works in IE 6.

But I can see the buttons to create forms when I edit a page. So why not when I edit a chunk?

The RTEs don’t work on chunks. Never had. If you’d like them to, please file a feature request or add a comment to an existing one.

Regardless, I suspect this will be a non-issue with 1.0.

What is an "RTE"?

Rich Text Editor... the things with the forms buttons.
