[TYPO3-english] configuring htmlArea RTE

[Walrick Bosch]

Hello Jonas,

There's a specific mailing list for questions regarding the rte:
typo3.projects.rte

You could ask your question there as well. Have you searched the archive
for that list also?

Regarding your actual questions:

First of all. You can put the TSconfig either in the Page TSconfig of
the rootpage of your site (not in a template record) or in the editors
user (or usergroup) TSconfig. In that case preceded by "page." so:
page.RTE. etc

Question 1:
I believe you should either list (under RTE.default.showButtons) all the
buttons you want to see and not just the changes, or (and I'm not sure
this works, haven't used it myself) use ":= addToList"
So:

  RTE.default.showButtons := addToList (textcolor)

Personally I just use the full list of all the buttons, helps me to see
which buttons are there.

Question 2:
Do you mean the blockstyle selector (with the frames) or the blockformat
selector (with paragraph, heading 1 etc).
The first has the id-strings "blockstylelabel, blockstyle" the second
"blockformat"
If you use the full list of buttons, just remove them from your list, if
you want to use ":= addToList" you should use

  RTE.default.hideButtons := addToList (id-strings)

Question 3:
The easiest way to do this I believe is to add the classes to your
external css. Note that in you stylesheet you need to use:

  span.classname { }

not just

  .classname { }

Otherwise the RTE won't recognize it. You should also add

  RTE.default.contentCSS = path to your stylesheet (like fileadmin/etc)

and probably also

  RTE.default.ignoreMainStyleOverride = 1

And add the styles to proc.allowedClasses and possible classesParagraph

That worked for me.

See:
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/rtehtmlarea/1.4.4/view/5/2/

For the example of how exactly to use showButtons,hideButtons,
proc.allowedClasses and classesParagraph

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Walrick
