[opencms-dev] Custom buttons in FCKEditor

[Christian Steinert]

Dear Ana and Dear Hernan

Thank you both very much! I had not thought about an FCK editor plugin but it makes  most sense of course.
The examples and hints that both of you gave make it quite doable, I think.

Thanks again and kind regards
Christian

I am not working right now with OpenCms but I have installed OpenCms 8.0.0. Hopefully it is working still with FCKEditor 2 so I guess it is still working as it used to.

If you go to the opencms admin then /system/workplace/editors/fckeditor/ you'll see all important files that you can edit to have a custom fckeditor: *configwidget.js* is the custom config for a fckeditor in contents fields (e.g. body in your news content if you define it first as OpenCmsHtml type in the xsd) and *customconfig.js *is the very same cofig but for html contents.
