Hi everyone

Whilst searching the forum I found a couple of post that said that the wysiwyg editor can be modified to allow all tags. However the posts are quite old and the link they point to is not there any more.

Can anyone tell me how to modify the wysiwig editor to allow all tags?

Hi,

http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:valid_elements
There is a sample for "Full XHTML rule set". I gues you could also use * as a wildcard to allow really everything, even invalid markup, but I havn't tried it.

The way you set this for all HTMLEditor Fields with in the cms is by overriding the option in your mysite/_config.php.
You can also define a separate config. For example for special users.

SSBits has a nice post about the configuration here.

Hope that helps

Hi,

you should always, if possible, use the mysite/_config.php that way your changes don't get lost in case of a silverstripe update.

The SSbits article does not talk about valid_elements but I thought it might give you an idea on how to set options.

If you use a HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->setOption('valid_elements', .... statement in your mysite/_config.php it will overwrite the settings from cms/_config.php. So you need to specify all tags again, not just add yours!

Sorry but I have hit a problem again.

I copied the HtmlEditorConfig:: code in the silverstripe/cms/config.php file and pasted it into the mysite/_config.php file

I the amended the HtmlEditorConfig:: in mysite/_config.php as follows

form[action|accept|accept-charset|enctype|method],
option[disabled|label|selected|value],
script[src|type],
select[disabled|multiple|name|size],
input[accept|alt|checked|disabled|maxlength|name|readonly|size|src|type<button?checkbox?file?hidden?image?password?radi
o?reset?submit?text|value],

I have checked to make sure that there are no duplications inside [ ] of each element.

If I put the following code

<form action="url" method="get">
<input name="type" type="hidden" value="home" />
<p>Show me
<select name="colour">
<option value="Red">Red</option>
<option value="Blue">Blue</option>
</select></p>
</form>

into the html editor and then press insert, it puts the "Show me" on the page and the dropdown box but no options to pick from. If I go back and look at page in the html editor I find that wysiwyg has dropped the <option value= element and it now looks like this.

<form> <input name="type" type="hidden" value="home" />
<p>Show me <select name="gender"> red blue </select></p>
</form>

I have been through the http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:valid_elements but cannot identify any other elements that I need to add or amend.

Am I missing something obvious or have I done something wrong?

Paul

most of it seems to work
