Hi,

How can I add a class on a link <a> with TinyMCE. The old version of TinyMCE on SilverStripe seems to have only a few options... I don't see any code pathway (like in Joomla, see attached file), to select the a and add the class with the 'Styles' drop down menu.

If I click on Edit link, there's no box to enter a class.

This will be a big problem because the person who will edit the site don't know anything about HTML, so it won't be possible for him/her to add it manually...

The community seems to agree on that fact that TinyMCE is hard to upgrade on a 2.4 install... I guess people are waiting for SS3!

An answer would be very welcome ;)

Best regards,

Steve

Hi Steve,

No, there is no pathway option like you mention. Afaik you can still select the link and drop a class from the styles dropdown. If the link-panel to the right is open, SilverStripe will automatically select the link if you touch it...

You're right: implemening a new version of TinyMCE would be especially tough, as SilverStripes image and link handling needs to hook into it...

Hi Martimiz,

Thanks for the answer! Didn't notice that before and it works :)! Very happy to have a solution because the person who'll edit the site won't remember how to add a class in the HTML.

Best regards

Steve
