I’ll play with this and see what I can come up with. Probably something pretty simple...err...or something I overlooked! LOL! I have a few things to look over anyways with the RTE’s so this will be something added to the list.

OK - I’m using 0.9.2.1 now and still having the same problem. I think I’ve tracked down the issue. The custom string is held in the variable $fck_editor_toolbar_customset. Or at least it should be. The problem appears to be that that variable is not given a value anywhere. I searched all the MODx files and nowhere is there a $fck_editor_toolbar_customset = XXX. So it’s no wonder that it always defaults to the default custom set: [’Bold’,’Italic’,’Underline’,’-’,’Link’,’Unlink’]

Perhaps I’ll look at a 0.9.0 version of MODx and see if I can find out where that value is supposed to be assigned. In the meantime, if anyone knows the intimate details of FCK, please feel free to speak up!

I’m just noticing (now that I have time to look at such things) that on my copy of 0.9.1 - the custom setting doesn’t appear to work. It just shows Bold, Italic, Underline, Link, and Unlink. No matter what I type in. If I hard code my custom toolbar into the custom_config.js file, I have no problems:

// custom
// Original bit:
// FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["custom"] = parent.FCKCustomToolbarSet;
// End original bit
FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["custom"] = [
    ['Source','FontFormat','Bold','Italic','-','Subscript','Superscript'],
    ['OrderedList','UnorderedList'],
    ['Rule','Image','Link','Unlink']
];

Anyone else experience this? Or is this another case of funky Jared unique issue blues??

Looking at the siteCache.idx.php file, I see that what I’m getting is the "default" custom menu. So for some reason... the custom set I declare isn’t getting picked up. Could this simply be a matter of needing to "refresh the site"...? (Tries that...) Nope.

// ... from siteCache.idx.php
$tbCustomset = isset($fck_editor_toolbar_customset) ? htmlspecialchars($fck_editor_toolbar_customset) : "[\'Bold\',\'Italic\',\'Underline\',\'-\',\'Link\',\'Unlink\']";

And a major bug:

The custom web toolbar config chops off anything after 227 characters. For example, this:

['Preview'],['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteWord','-','Print','SpellCheck'],['Undo','Redo','-','Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','RemoveFormat'],['Bold','Italic','Underline'],['OrderedList','UnorderedList','-','Outdent','Indent'],['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyFull'],['Image','Table','Rule','SpecialChar','PageBreak','UniversalKey'],'/',['Style'],['FontFormat'],['FontName'],['FontSize']

Gets truncated to this:

['Source','DocProps','-','NewPage','Preview','-','Templates'],['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteWord','-','Print','SpellCheck'],['Undo','Redo','-','Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','RemoveFormat'],['Bold','Italic','Underli

OK Jeff... for the next question

Where would one go about customizing the style menu? (the one with custom bold, custom italic, code (orange/outlined), etc.)?

You can change the toolbar by going to Manage Resources/Plugins/FCKEditor then click on the Configuration tab. There you can change the Web Toolbar in the same manner as you assign a Custom Toolbar from the System Configuration.

Jeff, how do we control the appearance of the RTEs in the Rich Text Widgets for custom front end applications? Seems too want to just default to the basic toolbar.
