Dynamiclly Add and Remove FCK Toolbar items

It seems to me that you are only removing some items from the toolbar at creation time.
Wouldn't it be easier to set up two toolbar configs in the fckconfig.js file and then when you create the editor choose the right one? or use different custom config.js files for each group of users?

In my apps, I have found some variations are easy to define, i.e. some of the buttons tend to cluster and can be treated as a group, reducing the number of options that have to be porvided. My basic groupings, each of which represents a custom toolbar configuration, are font formatting, text formatting and paragraph formatting.

My app supports bibliographies (among other similar types of data)

The first level, font formatting, is used for author's names etc. where I need special characters only (plus the basics like Source) -- and where I especially do not want to support anything to do with paragraphs.

The second, text formatting, supports changing the appearance of the entered text, typically for titles: bold, italics, super and subscripts, etc. plus everything from the first. Again the assumption is. that the character string is a single line (even if wrapped)

The third, paragraph formatting, adds support for lists, indenting, etc. useful for annotations.

This covers most situations, although some other apps of mine do have a special configuration for a specific need.

So I have been able to avoid managing switches on every possible combination -- what I would like to see, however, is a way to preserve these toolbar definitions in an outside file that gets included into the config file so I don't have to copy and paste with every new release. That would be a great help.

Instead of changing the code to remove toolbar items it's better to use one or a combination of the following patches to create all the toolbar items in your configuration file:

Mehmood,

Thanks for the tip about the CustomConfiguration file -- I had overlooked that feature, but now I am using it and it works just fine.

You can check the patches and plugins section. Depending on your server languages and the features that you want you might find something that fits your needs.

Maybe just disabling them is an option?
