Hey guys,

I'm sure somebody has already asked this. I woud like to have a wysiwyg editor that only shows the "spell check" button in the toolbar, for some viewers, but still keep the default wysiwyg fro everything else. Doable?

Cheers
Avrom

Hi Avrom,

Yes, you can do this, but it takes a bit of custom code, so only try this if you're comfortable editing php code. Also, always make a backup of your files first.

Here is what you would do.
First, open up cmsAdmin/lib/wysiywg.php and save it as wysiwyg_custom.php

Next, in wysiwyg_custom.php, you'll see the following code:

// display field
print <<<__HTML__

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
...

Above this we'll add in some custom code like this:



$spellCheckerSections = array('articles', 'news');
$theme_advanced_buttons2 = "theme_advanced_buttons2 : \"forecolor,backcolor,|,link,unlink,anchor,|,blockquote,hr,image,media,table,|,pastetext,pasteword,|,code,|,spellchecker\",";

if (!in_array(@$_REQUEST['menu'], $spellCheckerSections)) {
$theme_advanced_buttons2 = "theme_advanced_buttons2 : \"forecolor,backcolor,|,link,unlink,anchor,|,blockquote,hr,image,media,table,|,pastetext,pasteword,|,code,|\",";
}

// display field
print <<<__HTML__

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--

Change $spellCheckerSections to have a list of all of the section where you want the spell checker to appear.

Finally, below all of this, you'll find this piece of code:

// Define buttons: Button codes: http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Control_reference
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "formatselect,fontsizeselect,bold,italic,underline,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,|,removeformat,fullscreen",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "forecolor,backcolor,|,link,unlink,anchor,|,blockquote,hr,image,media,table,|,pastetext,pasteword,|,code,|,spellchecker",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : '',

Change that to this:

// Define buttons: Button codes: http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Control_reference
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "formatselect,fontsizeselect,bold,italic,underline,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,|,removeformat,fullscreen",
{$theme_advanced_buttons2}
theme_advanced_buttons3 : '',

That should do it.

Hope this helps

Jason, that's perfect. While it would be only the spellcheck field I would show, your example is crystal clear. Thanx a lot man!

Hi Jason,

Your example works jsut fine. I'd also like to add another line with a "null" statement, since the editor has 2 lines of editor options showing, and I only need one line to display. But not sure the php syntax for that. I know its pretty simple. Thanks in advance :)

theme_advanced_buttons1 : '',

would become?

$theme_advanced_buttons1 = \"CODE\",";

Cheers
Avrom

Hi Avrom,

Do you mean that on certain sections you want to have theme_advanced_buttons1 display and on others you don't?

Let me know.

Jason, exactly. Just not sure how to call up the two single quotes in PHP to make that happen :)

Cheers and thanx

Hi Avrom,

Okay. I'm not sure when you want to display the buttons and when you don't, but this example should get you started.

In this example, we'll assume that if we are in a section where we are displaying the spell checker, we're also displaying the first advanced buttons line. In that case, we would change our if statement to look like this:

$spellCheckerSections = array('articles', 'news');
$theme_advanced_buttons1 = "theme_advanced_buttons2: '',";
$theme_advanced_buttons2 = "theme_advanced_buttons2 : \"forecolor,backcolor,|,link,unlink,anchor,|,blockquote,hr,image,media,table,|,pastetext,pasteword,|,code,|,spellchecker\",";

if (!in_array(@$_REQUEST['menu'], $spellCheckerSections)) {
$theme_advanced_buttons2 = "theme_advanced_buttons2 : \"forecolor,backcolor,|,link,unlink,anchor,|,blockquote,hr,image,media,table,|,pastetext,pasteword,|,code,|\",";
$theme_advanced_buttons1 = "theme_advanced_buttons1 : \"formatselect,fontsizeselect,bold,italic,underline,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,|,removeformat,fullscreen\", ";
}

Then we change where we output these values like this:

// Define buttons: Button codes: http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Control_reference
{$theme_advanced_buttons2}
{$theme_advanced_buttons2}
theme_advanced_buttons3 : '',

Hope this helps
