I have content with placeholder such as [[name]], [[lastname]].
I want everything from [[ until ]] gets highlight, for example in yellow background while the real content that will be save in DB is still plain text.
For easier to understand, please take a look at this link. https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor4/latest/features/placeholder.html
It is placeholder plugin for CKEditor. And here is working sample. https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor4/latest/examples/placeholder.html
Currently I use textpattern plugin for TinyMCE and this code.
tinymce.init({
// options...
'textpattern_patterns': [
{'start': '[[', 'end': ']]', 'cmd': 'KPHW'}
],
'setup': function(editor) {
editor.addCommand('KPHW', function(ui, v) {
let contentText = editor.selection.getContent({ format: 'text' });
editor.execCommand('mceInsertContent', false, '<span style="background-color: yellow;">[[' + contentText + ']]</span>');
});
}
});
But it replace plain text [[placeholder]] with <span style="background: yellow;">[[placeholder]]</span> which is wrong.
Found this variable plugin https://github.com/ziktar/tinymce-variable.
Still have some bugs but is most active.
I have this tinyMCE init:
tinymce.init({
selector: "textarea",
theme: "modern",
readonly:1,
plugins: [
"advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak",
"emoticons template paste textcolor colorpicker textpattern"
],
toolbar: "print",
readonly:1,
height : 500
});
but with readonly:1 but all the menubar is disabled and I would like to have
the print option activated.
It's no difficult to have print option active in menu and, otherwise, not allowed to edit the textarea.
Just add the plugin "noneditable" in the lists of your plugins.
Add also these two statements in your tinymice.init:
content_css : "css/noneditable.css",
noneditable_regexp: /\[\]/g,
Delete the readonly statement.
With the definition of regexp all text inside "[]" is not editable. You can use any character instead of [].
If you want to put into noneditable all the textarea, use :
$foo="<div class='mceNonEditable'>[". $foo."]</div>";
I'd like it to simply be labeled "Font" as this is more useful to my non technical users. I can't seem to find a way to do this. Using version 4.x
you can change it in the tinymce.min.js file. just search for the text "Font Family" and you will see where you can change it.
You can do this by changing the default value in tinymce.min.js file. Just search for the code part beginning with:
{type:"listbox",text:"Font Family",tooltip:"Font Family",values:i,
...
Then put your desired label (for example "Font") inside the text:"". After change it should be look like :
{type:"listbox",text:"Font",tooltip:"Font Family",values:i,.
Result:
If you want to do this programmatically, for example create a button that will change label on click you can add this code when initializing tinyMCE:
<script type="text/javascript">
tinymce.init({
selector: 'textarea',
toolbar1: 'fontselect fontsizeselect mybutton',
//...
// extra coding can go here
//...
setup: function(editor) {
editor.addButton('mybutton', {
text: 'My button',
icon: false,
onclick: function() {
var fontlabel = "Font";
document.getElementsByTagName("button")[4].firstChild.innerText = fontlabel;
// getElementsByTagName is an array, so the index changes belonging to
// position of your "FontFamily" dropdown. In my example it' 6th.
}
});
}
});
</script>

I've been looking for hours to find a plugin that would add somthing like "padding: 5px" to an image. Does everyone do this through plain html? Our customer need a way to add this simply with the use of a button or right click context menu. Any suggestions/solutions or do I have to develop this myself?
Suggestions concerning other products than TinyMCE is not necessary.
The easiest to use is to add a custom stylesheet which only need to be set as a parameter (content_css). Example code snippet for the tinymce configuration:
...
theme: 'advanced',
content_css: "http://my_server/my_css/my_custom_css_file.css",
...
This css should contain something like the following
img {
padding-left: 5px;
}
The code for the tinymce button is a bit more complex (but if wised i can post it as well) and the css gets set using the following
$(ed.get('my_editor_id').getBody()).find('img').css('padding-left','5px');
UPDATE: Button code:
tinyMCE.init({
...
setup : function(ed) {
ed.onInit.add(function(ed, evt) {
ed.addButton ('wrap_div', {
'title' : 'my title',
'image' : 'my_image.png',
'onclick' : function () {
ed.getBody().find('img').css('padding-left','5px');
}
});
});
}
});
I want to disable tinymce editor using Javascript. Actually, I have two radio buttons: 1) On & 2) Off.
When the user selects the Off radio button, my tinymce editor should be readonly/disabled & when the user selects the On radio button, my tinymce editor should be enabled.
How can I achieve that?
EDITED:- (As it is not working in IE8)
tinyMCE.init({
force_p_newlines : false,
force_br_newlines : false,
forced_root_block : false,
convert_newlines_to_brs: false,
// Not to add br elements.
remove_linebreaks : true,
mode : "textareas",
theme : "advanced",
plugins : "safari",
convert_urls : false,
width : "560",
height : "15",
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "fontselect,fontsizeselect, separator, bold,italic,underline,separator,forecolor,backcolor,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left", extended_valid_elements : "a[name|href|target|title|onclick],img[class|src| border=0|alt|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|onmouseover|onmouseout|name], hr[class|width|size|noshade],font[face|size|color|style],span[class|align|style]"
});
This code is used to disable:
function tinymce_state(id, disable){
var state = (disable==true)? 'Off' : 'On'
tinymce.get(id).getDoc().designMode = state;
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('fontselect').setDisabled(disable);
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('fontsizeselect').setDisabled(disable);
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('bold').setDisabled(disable);
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('italic').setDisabled(disable);
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('underline').setDisabled(disable);
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('forecolor').setDisabled(disable);
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('backcolor').setDisabled(disable);
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('justifyleft').setDisabled(disable);
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('justifycenter').setDisabled(disable);
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('justifyright').setDisabled(disable);
tinymce.get(id).controlManager.get('justifyfull').setDisabled(disable);
}
You may use the following to block input in the editor:
// blockeditor input
tinymce.get('editor_id').getDoc().designMode = 'Off'; // switches editable off
// turn it on again
tinymce.get('editor_id').getDoc().designMode = 'On'; // switches editable on
You still need to find a way to block the tinymce UI. You could deactivate EACH control you have loaded (in the init function) using a line for EACH one of them
// example control bold
tinymce.get('editor_id').controlManager.get('bold').setDisabled(true);
// turn it on again
tinymce.get('editor_id').controlManager.get('bold').setDisabled(false);
EDIT:
You could change the contenteditable property of your rtes iframe body.
Downside will be that you will have to disable the tinymce UI (buttons) seperatly
// disable contenteditable
tinymce.get('editor_id').getBody().setAttribute('contenteditable', 'false');
// enable contenteditable
tinymce.get('editor_id').getBody().setAttribute('contenteditable', 'true');
For some reason the collection of editors has two type of ID, the numeric ID (0,1, ... n) and an alpha ID (Testing1, testing2, ... xyx)
the commands in the code snippet only work with the aplha-based ID e.g. "Testing1"
I have twelve tinyMCE version 4.1.5 editors in my project and can disable all of them with this code:
for (editor_id in tinyMCE.editors) {
if (editor_id.length > 2) { //there are twelve editors in my project so ignore two-digit IDs
tinyMCE.editors[editor_id].getBody().setAttribute('readonly', '1');
tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand('mceRemoveControl', true, editor_id);
tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand('mceRemoveEditor', true, editor_id);
tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand('mceAddControl', true, editor_id);
tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand('mceAddEditor', true, editor_id);
}
}
This site helped me figure it out: http://jeromejaglale.com/doc/javascript/tinymce_jquery_ajax_form
To disable the editor use:
tinymce.activeEditor.mode.set('readonly');
To enable the editor use:
tinymce.activeEditor.mode.set('design');
Tested on version 5.x
You can cover with a white div opacity .7 and higher z-index.
You can use in 3.x the option
editor_deselector : "no_mce",
to disabled (so give the textarea the css class no_mce). You can toggle the CSS Class with jQuery for example.
In 4.x you can use the option
selector:'textarea.not(.no_mce)'
Hope that helps.
(Oviously you can change the CSS Class to whatever you want)
For old 3 ver you can use:
tinyMCE.getInstanceById(tinyMCE.activeEditor.id).getBody().classList.add("mceNonEditable");
