Use "," in extended_valid_elements TinyMCE - tinymce

I need to do the following whith TinyMCE:
extended_valid_elements: a[href|onclick=window.open(this.href,'_system','location=no');return false;]
When doing this the character "," causes me problems and does not appear the default "onclick".

You can't put full code in extended_valid_elements - per the documentation (https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/content-filtering/#extended_valid_elements) its expecting attributes and (optionally) their default text. The JavaScript is not allowed and is messing up the parsing algorithm.
In extended_valid_elements you can reference onclick but you can't put the actual JavaScript in there.
If all you want is to allow JavaScript in your href values the allow_script_urls setting may do what you need without modifying extended_valid_elements:
https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/url-handling/#allow_script_urls

TinyMCE: How can I change the formats ("Paragraph", "Heading 1", etc.)

By default TinyMCE (4) has a "Paragraph ▼" dropdown, and if you click on it you get a list of formatting options ("Paragraph", "Heading 1", etc.).
I'd like to be able to do two things. First, I want to change the options and their names (eg. to "Normal" and "Heading"), and I found the block_formats option which does exactly that:
block_formats: 'Normal=p;Heading=h1'
However, I'm stuck on thing #2: adding classes to the generated elements. Instead of plain <h1> elements, when someone picks "Heading" I want to generate a <h1 class="heading">.
I thought maybe this would work:
block_formats: 'Normal=p;Heading=h1.heading'
... but it doesn't, and I haven't been able to find any other option that would let me do this. Then again, the TinyMCE documentation isn't always the easiest place to find answers, which is why I came here.
Does anyone know how I configure TinyMCE to have a "Paragraph ▼" dropdown with customized names AND custom classes on the generated elements?
I never did find a way to do this, so what I wound up doing instead was remove the block format drop-down entirely and replace it with the (custom) format dropdown. In other words I:
removed the formatselect from the toolbar1 config (removing the un-configurable normal formatting dropdown)
added the custom format dropdown (styleselect) to the toolbar1 config
defined a style_formats config entry with my custom styles
The style_formats config looked like this:
style_formats: [
{
title: 'Header',
inline: 'span',
classes: 'someClass',
styles: {someStyle: '5px'}
},
], // next style would go here
There were only two downsides of this approach. First, the dropdown now says "Formats", and I don't seem to be able to configure that anywhere. However I do have a single formatting dropdown, with only the options I want, and those options add the desired classes to the formatted text, so the dropdown's name isn't a big deal.
The second issue was that TinyMCE uses an <iframe>, which prevents it from using our stylesheet. I could have written a stylesheet for TinyMCE and then appended it to the <iframe> (or used some TinyMCE mechanism, if there is one) ... but I'm lazy so I just used style: entries for each custom format to define the style.

TinyMCE: tags inside a-tag

I use TinyMCE 4.1.10 and have a problem with tags inside <a>-tags:
I need to insert code in the following markup inside the code viewer:
<a><h3>something</h3></a>
Generally I want every tag to be possible inside the <a>-tag (besides another <a>-tag).
But TinyMCE does a ridiculous cleanup:
<p><a></a></p>
<h3><a>something</a></h3>
<p></p>
I've already made following modifications in the setup:
extended_valid_elements : "a[*]",//allow empty <a>-tag
valid_children : "+a[div|h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|p|#text]",//allow some children in the <a>-tag
verify_html: false,
It doesn't make any sense at all what TinyMCE is doing here.
The TinyMCE-website is telling me it uses html5-specification by default:
The schema option enables you to switch between the HTML4 and HTML5
schema. This controls the valid elements and attributes that can be
placed in the HTML. This value can either be the default html5, html4
or html5-strict.
And in the HTML5-Specifiations you can read:
The a element may be wrapped around entire paragraphs, lists, tables,
and so forth, even entire sections, so long as there is no interactive
content within (e.g. buttons or other links).
And now I don't get anything despite HTML5 valid markup AND extra valid-children setting in TinyMCE.

CKEditor strips <i> Tag

I'm trying to find a solution to avoid CKEditor, but also the older FCKeditor strips out any
<i> tag from previously inserted content to the db.
Case:
I insert html content to the db, some content contain the <i> elements.
I do this with the CKEditor.
Everything works perfect and the content shows up on the webpage.
But when i want to edit the previously inserted content, the <i> elements are missing.
In my specific case i use:
<i class="fa-icon-fullscreen fa-icon-xxlarge main-color"></i>
Of course if i disable the editor, the content shows up just fine in the textarea.
When the protectedSource solution is used, i tags are no longer stripped, but img tags stop showing up in the WYSIWIG mode of CKEditor (I'm using 4.3.1). The solution that worked better for me is to disable removing empty i tags using CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty
For example, I added the following to the config.js
// allow i tags to be empty (for font awesome)
CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty['i'] = false;
Note: This should be placed outside the CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) function.
I found the solution for this specific problem i ran into with the <i> tag
The original answer i got from drupal forum
The fix or tweak (you name it) for it is to set the following into the ckeditors config.js:
// ALLOW <i></i>
config.protectedSource.push(/<i[^>]*><\/i>/g);
Thanks to Spasticdonkey for pointing me to the link.
Here is what works for me
add the 3 lines of code below in the same order in the drupal ckeditor profile setting
admin/config/content/ckeditor/edit/Full
ADVANCED OPTIONS >> Custom JavaScript configuration
config.allowedContent = true;
config.extraAllowedContent = 'p(*)[*]{*};div(*)[*]{*};li(*)[*]{*};ul(*)[*]{*}';
CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty.i = 0;
First line is pretty much turning off the advanced filtering
Second line is allowing ALL class (), any style {} and any attribute [*] for the p,div, li and ul.
The last line is for the empty tag...this line works with images...I have found that if you use
config.protectedSource.push(/]*></i>/g);
it strips out the tag while editing.
for 4.3 version ckeditor
in config.js (after config section) paste
CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty['b'] = false;
and write widget with code
CKEDITOR.plugins.add( 'bwcaret', {
requires: ['widget'/*, 'richcombo'*/],
icons: 'bwcaret',
init: function( editor ) {
editor.widgets.add( 'bwcaret', {
button: 'Create a caret',
template: '<b class="caret"></b>',
allowedContent: 'b(!caret)',
requiredContent: 'b(!caret)',
upcast: function( element ) {
return element.name == 'b' && element.hasClass( 'caret' );
},
});
}
});
There are two possible problems:
Read about Advanced Content Filter. CKEditor is removing elements which are not allowed, but you can extend filter's rules.
However, if the problem is that CKEditor removes empty <i> elements, then you need to find other way of using it. CKEditor is not a WYSIWYG website builder. It is a document editor, so the loaded content must have a meaning. Empty inline element does not have any meaning, therefore it is removed, because otherwise editor would not know what to do with it.
One of the possible solutions in the (near) future, will be to use Widgets system, to handle those empty elements. But for now I advice you to check the CKEDITOR.htmlDataProcessor and short guide how to use it.
i found a permanent solution for it.actually what happened ckeditor removing only blank tag.whatever the tag is, may b <i> tag or <span> tag
if you are using any icon like font-awesome,maeterlize icon etc ...
you can stop it by using below code in your config.js file
CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty.span = false;
CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty.i = false;
if you are using more blank tag then you need to add the tag name after $removeEmpty
CKEditor 4 removes emtpy tags, so here you can do trick without changing any config settings.
Replace
<i class="fa-icon-fullscreen fa-icon-xxlarge main-color"></i>
With
<i class="fa-icon-fullscreen fa-icon-xxlarge main-color"> </i>
Now <i></i> tag have content i.e. so CKEditor will not remove that tag.

Tiny MCE Editor stripping code

I currently have my extended_valid_elements set up as follows.
using EPiServer.Editor.TinyMCE;
namespace Customer.Web.Templates.Plugins.TinyMCE
{
[TinyMCEPluginNonVisual(AlwaysEnabled = true, EditorInitConfigurationOptions = "{ extended_valid_elements: 'iframe[*]' }")]
public class ExtendedValidElements
{
}
}
However, I need to add the ability to enter an extra entry next to a link, as the tinyMCE is currently stripping it out.
I cant seem to get the syntax right without crashing the edit mode of the site... my logic would suggest 'iframe[*]','a[data-lightbox]' }")] should do the trick, but it doesn't. I just get an error.
Any ideas? Many Thanks.
Marc.
According to the TinyMCE documentation,
When adding a new attribute by specifying an existing element rule
(e.g. img), the entire rule for that element is over-ridden so be sure
to include all valid attributes not just the one you wish to add.
So try
EditorInitConfigurationOptions = "{ extended_valid_elements: 'iframe[*], a[name|href|target|title|data-lightbox]' }")]
I would consider using an asterisk in place of the word 'lightbox' to allow any data attribute to be used.
if that doesn't work, you can find more information at about valid_elements and extended_valid_elements on the TinyMCE site.
Hope this helps

J is null in TinyMce.js

I use tinymce on my website and I always run into this annoying j is null.
In my template file I originally had the init method out in the open like in the example...
<script type="text/javascript" >
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas",
theme : "simple"
});
</script>
But in the error console of Firefox I see something that says "j is null" and the reference is somewhere within the tiny_mce.js file.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much.
It's a tinymce bug. Internally, the tinymce code uses a <span id="mce_marker"></span> to remember the caret-position when pasting. when validating the resulting fragment, after the paste, the span is deemed invalid and removed, thus breaking the code by removing the marker.
This issue will be fixed in the next official tinymce minor release. There are some workarounds for this kind of issue. One is to add to add id and mce-data-type attribute to spans as valid elements (init setting). Example:
// The valid_elements option defines which elements will remain in the edited text when the editor saves.
valid_elements: "#[id|class|title|style]," +
"a[name|href|target|title]," +
"#p,-ol,-ul,-li,br,img[src],-sub,-sup,-b,-i,-u" +
"-span[data-mce-type]",
