Customize Target Menu in Link Dialog

Hello everybody.

I need to change the target menu in the link dialog, so that only _self and _blank are included. Can you please point me some documentation on how to do this?

There is this page Dialog Customization [0], that basically show that it can be done. But it seems I need something more explanations about to get this done.

Thanks,
Michael

Re: Customize Target Menu in Link Dialog

I've managed to remove select options but I don't think I'm doing it in the "best" or correct way. Anyway here ya go:

$('#content').ckeditor(init_ckeditor, ckconfig_body);

function init_ckeditor(ev)
{                
    CKEDITOR.on('dialogDefinition', function( ev )
    {
        var dialogName = ev.data.name;
        var dialogDefinition = ev.data.definition;

        if (dialogName == 'link')
        {   
            dialogDefinition.onFocus = function()
            {
                var targetField = this.getContentElement('target', 'linkTargetType');
                    targetField.remove(1); // 0 based index
                    targetField.remove(2);
                    targetField.remove(4);
                    targetField.remove(6);
            };
        }
    }
}

Re: Customize Target Menu in Link Dialog

FYI

The remove() function accepts an index number but every time you remove something, the indexes will change. For example:

Option 1
Option 2
Option 3

If you want to remove Option 2 and Option 3 you have to do this:

targetField.remove(1);
targetField.remove(1);

Or alternatively, remove then in reverse order (starting at highest index):

targetField.remove(2);
targetField.remove(1);

It's not very intuituve or elegant,IMHO.
