Toolbar customization

Hi - first GREAT product. I am having one problem. I want to limit the amount of functionality available on the toolbar. I've tried to create a custom toolbar following the info in the Wiki. I added a toolbarset called"Custom" in the fckconfig.js file per the instructions in the wiki. I am using PHP, so I added the statement

$oFCKeditor->ToolbarSet = 'Custom';

where I create the instance of the editor. When I load the page, I get the message "Toolbar 'custom' does not exist'". Figuring that I did something wrong, I went back to basics - I simply tried to change to using the "Basic" toolbar that is there. This worked. Then, I tried to alter the basic toolbarset definition to see if that would work. The page still loaded, but with the original "Basic" toolbar configuration. I cleared the cache and tried again -same problem. The combination of the page not finding the "Custom" toolbar I created in the .js file and not finding the changes I made to "Basic" leads me to believe that perhaps there are .js files in multiple locations and I am changing the wrong one.

Does anyone have any insight into what I am doing wrong?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Toolbar customization

Usually if you can't load a toolbar it is either because of a path issue or a misconfiguration in the toolbar.

You can test your path by renaming the Basic toolbar to something like xBasic, then setting the name to that and see if it loads.

If that is not it - then most likely your problem is misconfiguration (or your Cache needs to be cleared).

Here is the Wiki link on toolbars:

http://wiki.fckeditor.net/Developer%27s ... on/Toolbar

At the bottom of the page are a couple of things to look for:

It's a common mistake when customizing the toolbar, to just remove some elements from the Default toolbar set, including the "About" item, leaving the last row terminating with a comma (","). So, remember that the last toolbar band doesn't have a comma after it.

Remember to clean up your browser's cache when making changes to the configuration file, otherwise you may not see your changes and will simply not understand why.
