I have designed two e-commerce websites using Zen Cart software, with CKEditor as my html editor for things like creating categories, product descriptions, and editing pages. One of these sites is my own, and I am very familiar with HTML and could hand-code everything if I needed to; the default CKEditor array of buttons poses no problem for me. The other site, however, is for my dad's business. My dad will be scared off by so many buttons and options. He won't know what to do. And he won't NEED to use most of them. And the ones he needs will be lost in the sea of ones he doesn't need.
I know (well, let me rephrase: I've been TOLD) that you can modify how CKEditor is displayed/configured. For my dad's site, I think I just need buttons for this stuff:
More than that would confuse him.
How do I set this up? What file do I edit, and what do I do to it? I've had bad luck figuring out the documentation. It's apparently not compatible with whatever OS my brain is running...
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me. Please know that while yes, I could hand-code an HTML file if I needed to, I'm an artist/designer and decidedly NOT a programmer, so I need to be treated like a 3-year-old if it involves coding/programming.

- bold
- italic
- underline
- superscript
- bulleted list
- indent/blockquote (what's the difference?)
- align text left/center/right
- add image
- add link
- change font color
- change font size
- apply text styles, and that's it.

Check out this guide: http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/D ... de/Toolbar
The easiest way (for me) is to add the following code in the page where your editor instance appears, right after </textarea>:

Re: Need a really simple interface for my dad's e-commerce s
I am pulling my hair out with this! I, like the OP, do not have a compatible OS in my brain for this. I am writing a simple HTML email form in ASP.net and the default configuration is working fine, however, I'd like to remove some of the tools on the toolbars. I have tried making changes to all config.js files I could find...doing in-page modifications and calling custom config files. It seems like all changes are just ignored. I thought I found the answer and tried what was above, but still nothing. Here is an excerpt of the code:
Re: Need a really simple interface for my dad's e-commerce s
Just in case anyone else is having problems with the asp.net version...it's easily configured through the properties of the control. I highlighted the BodyTB control in Visual Web Developer and in the properties window, there are about 50 different configuration items you can configure right there in the IDE. So easy, once you figure it out!
Thanks for your time.
