Hi,
Is there a way to limit the functionality of a wysiwyg field? In other words, I'd like the customer to be able to use bold, italics, lists or headings, but I don't want them to be able to change the font and other things. I'd like most things to be controlled through a style sheet.
Is this an option, or is it all or nothing?
Thanks,
ginger

Hi ginger,
Yes, you can customize the WYSIWYG by modifying cmsAdmin/lib/wysiwyg.php. Note the comment at the top that describes how to preserve your changes when you upgrade CMS Builder.
You can disable all but a subset of HTML by using the 'valid_elements' option. You'll need to turn on 'verify_html' as well. Change this:
...to this:
You're also going to want to remove most of the buttons from the top of the WYSIWYG control. To do this, change this:

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Chris,
Thanks very much for that. I'll come back if I run into any problems when I go to implement this, but it looks like you've given me what I need.
Thanks again!
