Hi

I test CouchCMS local with xammp. Very interesting concept.

Please remember: set a language (en) in the CKEditor config.js.
The non visible editor is confusing first time users.

I use CKEditor in an other project, so I know about the config possibilities.
But in CouchCMS it seems that some configs are hardcoded?? Which and why?
Beside other, I want to create a toolbar myself --> not possible!

Hi Manfred,

You are right about the CKeditor problem and we have taken note of it. Thanks.
Regarding the configuration being hardcoded, I think most of the configuration options have been exposed through the parameters of 'editable' tag of 'richtext' type. Thus we have in fact provided an easier way of changing the configuration.

The toolbar that you mention is also completely configurable. Please see http://www.couchcms.com/docs/tags-refer ... tml#params.
And finally, if something gets missed out, one can always add it to the config.js file.

Please take a look at the link above and write back what is it you miss.
Thanks

Thanks for the answer. Your solution of toolbar config is better.
So you can specify the toolbar exactly for each editarea.
Had to play a little bit more with the Couch...

Hi Manfred,

Glad you liked it.
It is great to have your inputs.
Do keep posting in anything that you feel is not to your liking in Couch.

Now I played around with embed and custom_toolbar. Veeery nice

Some hints:
the right side of editarea is cutted of a bit. Best width is 720px.
You should set this globally in the config.js. That matters all editareas.
Until now, you can set this only in the richtext tag.

there are some specials in the config of custom_toolbar.
You have to start and end the string with a comma:

Code: Select all

custom_toolbar=',cut,copy,paste,pastetext,-,undo,redo,-,bold,link,-,source,'

without the both comma you dont see the first and last button.

request:
I'm missing the spellchecker and scayt plugins.
CKEditor has this, but the cms doesn't support this?

Hi Manfred

we are glad that you liked the couch,
Thanks for your valuable suggestions we have taken it seriously and will implement it.

"request:

There is a section for Feature Requests in the forum kindly
request all the features couch is missing right now, we will try our best to
add the functionality requested.

Hi Manfred,

We have made the change of setting the width of CKeditor to 720px, as suggested by you.

As for the problem you mentioned about the two commas being necessary, I am afraid but we were unable to reproduce the condition. For us the following code works just fine, as expected -

Code: Select all

toolbar='custom'   
 custom_toolbar='cut,copy,paste,pastetext,-,undo,redo,-,bold,link,-,source'

Could you please tell us about the browser (with version) you are testing the code under?

Hmm, I'm testing with Firefox 3.6.13 under Win XP.
My code for embed looks like:

Code: Select all

custom_toolbar="<cms:embed 'toolbar.inc' />"

toolbar.inc:

Code: Select all

custom_toolbar=',cut,copy,paste,pastetext,-,spellchecker,scayt,undo,redo,-,bold,link,-,source,'

regards Manfred

EDIT: uups, sorry... I have to row back. Tested again --> now it's ok without the commas!!
Think, now I need a coffee now. Thanks for help

Hi Manfred,

The code within toolbar.inc should simply be:

Code: Select all

cut,copy,paste,pastetext,-,undo,redo,-,bold,link,-,source

It seems you are repeating the 'custom_toolbar=' unnecessarily.
Please test and see if it works the way as expected.

Thanks for info. Yes, it's running fine now only with:

Code: Select all

cut,copy,paste,pastetext,-,spellchecker,scayt,undo,redo,-,bold,link,-,source

regards Manfred
