Removing tabs from dialog boxes

Hi,

i was wondering how far config goes.

here's what i'd like :

Hide "Advanced" tab in dialogs

Default target to "_blank" and hide the select in the Link tab of the Image dialog

And some other stuff which would be done the same way i guess...

That was possible in fckeditor, is it possible here ?
Attached : a screenee of what i'm talking about.

thanks in advance

Re: Removing tabs from dialog boxes

Ok, i've found this :
config.linkShowAdvancedTab = false;

Nothing found for image or to change default "target".
If anyone can help...

Re: Removing tabs from dialog boxes

Ok,

I've changed the code so that default value for target is '_blank'

Hope this will soon be implemented as official config feature.
My app is supposed to be easely understood by any user and allow simple text editing and formating. The need no clas, id or whatever dev stuff. Neither do they need to choose a target between "_blank" "_top" etc... thing that they wouldn't understand at all.

Anyway, this CKEditor is great. Hope this post interested some people...

Re: Removing tabs from dialog boxes

Thanks for the post Crystark.

What's the process you use to test your code? ckeditor_source.js doesn't appear to be working for us and rather than repacking ckeditor.js we pretty much just overrode the plugins by overwriting them after the initial load. I honestly haven't spent much time trying to figure it out, but are going to need to as we need to hook the ckeditor up to our file management system.

Overwriting a plugin looks like so for those that didn't know:

      
CKEDITOR.plugins.registered['preview']=
      {
           init : function( editor )
           {
              var command = editor.addCommand( 'preview', 
                 {
                    modes : { wysiwyg:1, source:1 },
                    canUndo : false,    
                    exec : function( editor ) {
                       body = editor.getData();
                       editor.objectmap.innerHTML=body;
                    }
                 }
              );
              editor.ui.addButton( 'Preview',
                 {
                    label : 'My Preview',
                    command : 'preview'
                 }
              );
           }
        }

Re: Removing tabs from dialog boxes

I'm not sure i understand exactly what you mean by "what's the process you use to test your code". I've run the test engine included in CKEditor (_tests folder) and done some personal testing using my custom ckeditor config file (setting to true/false each options, removing the option... etc).

Now i haven't touched ckeditor_source.js or ckeditor.js (don't really understand what you're trying to do there) I've just taken the link.js, plugin.js and image.js files from _source folder, past em in the "used" plugin folder and modified them with the code i gave in my last post.

Btw, when you overwrite a plugin like you do, you have to write the whole plugin again or do you only have to add what you need. Looking to your code i'd say you rewrite everything, but wouldn't one be able to access only some properties and modify them ?

The properties i want to access are in an object directly "returned" though. i'm not quite sure how i can do it and haven't much more time to spend on it.

Re: Removing tabs from dialog boxes

I appreciate the reply.

The plugin object looks to be simply a JSON object so you can just use dot notation to change pieces instead of the entire plugin. In the plugins I've looked at you can only really change the init and required. When the editor is instanced it runs the plugin init at that time.

Re: Removing tabs from dialog boxes

Hey, Crystark !

Modifications doesn't work for me
I run with CKEditor 3.1
I modified files from folder plugin on source and paste them to the used folder plugin as you said but advanced part still there
