Hi,
First of all, I apologise. I realise that toolbars are a well covered subject in a lot of ways, but this has been bugging me for a long time. I have been trying to get the toolbar to appear just the way I want, but for me the system of adding addons and customising the toolbar seem a little counter intuitive. "could just be me".
I pick standard, add addons and the buttons dont appear.
I pick full and they do.
So first, 1) if I want addons I either need full or I need to know the groups to add to standard? This is a very manual task if so. This should be something easy and functional.
Secondly. 2) There is no way to preview your editor in the builder. So you have to effectively download, upload, test and then redo if its not right. again this is very manual and slow.
I started out with full and all addons and it seemed to break the toolbar. Things had the wrong buttons or they had conflicts with other addons.
Am I missing something from the typical workflow. I realise many people will just want the standard bar. But surely there are plenty of people that want to use the builder to mix and match, and currently it seems like an all day task to get it right and shouldnt be?
It seems like I am basically going to have to download the full version with all addons, remove everything piece by peice till I get what I want then build my own toolbar using the left pieces then delete the full version and create a new version using standard from scratch?
Thanks for the suggestions.
Thanks for the suggestions.
1) We always suggest using the online builder (CKBuilder) because it automatically adds all plugin dependencies. If it didn't, could you maybe attach your build-config.js file? Maybe you were adding 3rd-party plugins that aren't compatible with some versions of CKEditor. You should always check the compatibility part in the plugin's page.
2) A preview function is definitely planned, but there's a lot of other stuff that needs getting done first.
What you can also try doing is removing some of the 3rd-party plugins and testing (in the samples folder) if the build works. My guess is there's a custom plugin in there that's messing things up.

We always suggest using the
And I always use it, although it would help if there was a way to -through logging in- to remember the build-config.js and reload it if logged in. That should be fairly easy to impliment if you have a DB already.
I can map a network drive to my FTP server so I dont have to download / upload I suppose.
Will do this tonight and see if I can get it working. Thanks for the swift reply.
I always use the latest stable version of ckeditor
