Customizing the online editor
In Chamilo 1.10 and later, we use CKeditor as a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) or “online†HTML editor. This was not the case with Chamilo 1.9, which still used the now-dead FCKeditor.
Sometimes, you might want to customize the editor for some particular item in Chamilo. This can be done, for existing custom element types, in the src/Chamilo/CoreBundle/Component/Editor/CkEditor/Toolbar/ directory.
There, you’ll find a series of files of the following form:
/* For licensing terms, see /license.txt */
​
namespace Chamilo\CoreBundle\Component\Editor\CkEditor\Toolbar;
​
/**
* Messages toolbar configuration
*
* @package Chamilo\CoreBundle\Component\Editor\CkEditor\Toolbar
*/
class Messages extends Basic
{
/**
* Get the toolbar config
* @return array
*/
public function getConfig()
{
if (api_get_setting('more_buttons_maximized_mode') != 'true') {
$config['toolbar'] = $this→getNormalToolbar();
} else {
$config['toolbar_minToolbar'] = $this→getMinimizedToolbar();
$config['toolbar_maxToolbar'] = $this→getMaximizedToolbar();
}
​
$config['fullPage'] = true;
//$config['height'] = '200';
return $config;
}
​
/**
* Get the toolbar configuration when CKEditor is maximized
* @return array
*/
protected function getMaximizedToolbar()
{
return [
['NewPage', 'Templates', '-', 'Preview', 'Print'],
['Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste', 'PasteText', 'PasteFromWord'],
['Undo', 'Redo', '-', 'SelectAll', 'Find', '-','RemoveFormat'],
['Link', 'Unlink', 'Anchor', 'Glossary'],
[ 'Image', 'Mapping', 'Video', 'Oembed', 'Youtube', 'Flash', 'Audio', 'leaflet', 'Smiley', 'SpecialChar', 'Inserthtml', 'Asciimath', 'Asciisvg' ],
'/',
['Table', '-', 'CreateDiv'],
['BulletedList', 'NumberedList', 'HorizontalRule', '-','Outdent', 'Indent', 'Blockquote'],
['JustifyLeft', 'JustifyCenter', 'JustifyRight', 'JustifyBlock'],
['Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline', 'Strike', '-', 'Subscript', 'Superscript', '-', 'TextColor', 'BGColor'],
[api_get_setting('allow_spellcheck') == 'true' ? 'Scayt' : ''],
['Styles', 'Format', 'Font', 'FontSize'],
['PageBreak', 'ShowBlocks', 'Source'],
['Toolbarswitch']
];
}
​
/**
* Get the default toolbar configuration when the setting
* more_buttons_maximized_mode is false
* @return array
*/
protected function getNormalToolbar()
{
return [
['Link', 'Unlink'],
['Image', 'Video', 'Flash', 'Oembed', 'Youtube', 'Audio'],
['Table', 'Smiley'],
['TextColor', 'BGColor'],
['Source'],
'/',
['Font', 'FontSize'],
['Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline'],
['JustifyLeft', 'JustifyCenter', '-', 'NumberedList', 'BulletedList']
];
}
/**
* Get the toolbar configuration when CKEditor is minimized
* @return array
*/
protected function getMinimizedToolbar()
{
return [
$this→getNewPageBlock(),
['Undo', 'Redo'],
['Link', 'Image', 'Video', 'Flash', 'Audio', 'Table','Asciimath', 'Asciisvg'],
['BulletedList', 'NumberedList', 'HorizontalRule'],
['JustifyLeft', 'JustifyCenter'],
['Format', 'Font', 'Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline', 'TextColor', 'BGColor'],
['Toolbarswitch']
];
}
}
As you can probably appreciate, the structure is simply:
- a class extending the “Basic†class for the editor
- a getConfig() method to get some global configuration (like size of the area)
- a getMaximizedToolbar() method that defines the options to be shown when maximized
- a getNormalToolbar() method that defines the options to be shown when normal
- a getMinimizedToolbar() method that defines the options to be shown when minimized
If you want to change one of the tools offered in the toolbars for a specific case, just change it here.
Note, however, that this customization is not part of the normally-accepted customizations, so you will have to keep it on record somewhere to be able to apply it again when the next version comes out.
