Override "use_editor" for template?

Hi MODx-Community,

I'm trying to modify the manager forms & fields to prove my company how awesome MODx Revo is

I got my first dead end: Actually I'd like to use the TINYmce-Editor in most templates, but one.

This template has the "modx-resource-content"-field activated and I'd like this template to don't use the editor, just the plain field for a description. The other fields on the first tab are already reserved and don't have that nice size. And it would be inconvenient to use a tv here.

I tried adding the setting "use_editor" with the value "false" to the setting of the template, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there another way?

Best regards,
Sebastian

What you are trying to say is that you don't want any resources that use this template to have the Rich Text editor?

You would probably need a plugin, and it would get complicated since a new resource initially has the site default template, and wouldn't get the RTE/no RTE option until it's assigned to the no-RTE template. Also if you are editing a resource and change its template, either to or from this no-RTE template. So there's a lot to take into account here.

I think you could use Form Customization (with a constraint based on the template) to set the value of the richtext field to 0 for that template, though I think it wouldn't take effect until the resource had been saved once.

Thanks to you both, Susan and Bob. I'll try it in the weekend while sitting in Utrecht
I will share my solution later on.
