Hi

Sorry if I explain things in a long way, I want to be specific though...

I would like to have a set of TinyMCE fields, each with different options, modules and buttons for different field types. I think I almost have a way to get this but not quite. Here's what I have so far:

Silverstripe version 2.4.2

In the file: /mysite/_config.php
I have defined my own set of options, buttons and plugins for TinyMCE with a new name as below:

HtmlEditorConfig::get('reduced')->setOptions(array(
  // My options...
);
HtmlEditorConfig::get('reduced')->disablePlugins('table', 'contextmenu');
HtmlEditorConfig::get('reduced')->enablePlugins('media', 'fullscreen');
HtmlEditorConfig::get('reduced')->enablePlugins(array('ssbuttons' => '../../../cms/javascript/tinymce_ssbuttons/editor_plugin_src.js'));
HtmlEditorConfig::get('reduced')->setButtonsForLine(1, 
	'bold','separator','pastetext','pasteword','separator','undo','redo','separator', 
	'sslink','unlink', 'anchor', 'separator','bullist','numlist','ssimage', 'ssflash', 'fullscreen'
);
HtmlEditorConfig::get('reduced')->setButtonsForLine(2); 
HtmlEditorConfig::get('reduced')->setButtonsForLine(3);

this works fine and in my home page php file - mysite/code/HomePage.php
I have:

function getCMSFields() {
  $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
  HtmlEditorConfig::set_active('reduced');
  $reducedEditor = new HtmlEditorField('reducedEditor','Reduced-Editor',1);
  $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main',$reducedEditor,'Content');
  // rest of fields...
}

In another file I created so I could set the active WYSIWYG settings back to the original - mysite/code/OtherPage.php
I have:

function getCMSFields() {
	$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
	HtmlEditorConfig::set_active('cms');
	return $fields;
}

Here's the unexpected bit...

regardless of which page type I am editing the first loaded WYSIWYG settings are used.
eg: If from editing the home page I go to another section of the admin, for example Security, then I go back to the Pages section (it loads the last page I was editing), the 'reduced' settings are used. But then they are also used for every HtmlEditorField on any page type.

Then, if from another page which uses OtherPage.php, I go to another admin section and then back to the pages section, the default 'cms' options are loaded. Yes then 'cms' settings are used accross all page types too.

I expected set_active to be able to set the TinyMCE settings on each page the way I have used it.
Has anyone come up with a good workaround? I'm sure I'm not the only person who would like to be able to do this.

I was wondering if I could rename the HtmlEditorField to something else eg: ReducedHtmlEditorField and set the options specific to that.
Then based on whether I use HtmlEditorField or ReducedHtmlEditorField the custom options would be used but I'm not sure how or if it would still have the same issues.

eg:

function getCMSFields() {
  $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
  
  $defaultEditor = new HtmlEditorField('defaultEditor','Reduced-Editor',1);
  $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main',$defaultEditor,'Content');
  
  $reducedEditor = new ReducedHtmlEditorField('reducedEditor','Reduced-Editor',1);
  $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main',$reducedEditor,'Content');
  
  // rest of fields...
}

So I have had a go at trying to create a new form field type.

I created a file: ReducedEditorField.php

class ReducedEditorField extends HtmlEditorField {

	public static function include_js() {
		Requirements::javascript(MCE_ROOT . 'tiny_mce_src.js');
		Requirements::customScript(ReducedEditorConfig::get_active()->generateJS(), 'ReducedEditorConfig');
	}
}

I created a file: ReducedEditorConfig.php

class ReducedEditorConfig extends HtmlEditorConfig {

	static $configs = array();

	static function get($identifier = 'default') {
		if (!array_key_exists($identifier, self::$configs)) self::$configs[$identifier] = new ReducedEditorConfig();
		return self::$configs[$identifier];
	}
}

Then in _config.php added:

ReducedEditorConfig::get('cms')->setOptions(
  // custom options...
);
ReducedEditorConfig::get('cms')->disablePlugins('table', 'contextmenu');
ReducedEditorConfig::get('cms')->enablePlugins('media', 'fullscreen');
ReducedEditorConfig::get('cms')->enablePlugins(array('ssbuttons' => '../../../cms/javascript/tinymce_ssbuttons/editor_plugin_src.js'));
ReducedEditorConfig::get('cms')->setButtonsForLine(1, 
	'bold','separator','pastetext','pasteword','separator','undo','redo','separator', 
	'sslink','unlink', 'anchor', 'separator','bullist','numlist','ssimage', 'ssflash', 'fullscreen'
);
ReducedEditorConfig::get('cms')->setButtonsForLine(2); 
ReducedEditorConfig::get('cms')->setButtonsForLine(3);

And of course tried to use my new field type in HomePage.php as below

function getCMSFields() {
  ...
  $reducedEditor = new ReducedEditorField('reducedEditor','Reduced-Editor',1);
  $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main',$reducedEditor,'Content');
  ...
}

The field was loaded with the default for HtmlEditorField though so no luck there yet.

Any Ideas?
