#9 Custom WYSIWYG with 1 additional button, multi-language

2sxc Custom WYSIWYG with Additional Button

This example show how we customize more of TinyMCE.

You can learn how to:

  • Use addTranslations()
  • Use configureOptions(...) to extend the toolbar
  • Use configureAddOns to change button options for the image
  • Run code when the editor is running init to add button defininiots

Important: The feature "Public Use of Edit Form" is disabled

The feature is needed for anonymous users to use the Edit Form. Register your site here https://patrons.2sxc.org/ to get access to the feature.

New syntax: String WYSIWYG With Additional Button and Labels

This example keeps the default buttons and adds another one, with multi-language labels
Hit this edit button to have a look:


      @Kit.Toolbar.Empty().New("UiStringWysiwygButtonMl").AsTag()
      

    Old syntax: String WYSIWYG With Additional Button and Labels

    This example keeps the default buttons and adds another one, with multi-language labels
    Hit this edit button to have a look:


        @Edit.Toolbar(toolbar: new [] { "toolbar=empty", "+new?contentType=UiStringWysiwygButtonMl" })
        
      Important: We opened permissions that you can experience the edit dialog - so you can save, but it will just create draft data 😉.
