dynamic toolbar constellation

found a way to go. here's my solution:
I create a hidden form field containing all Buttons the specific user is allowed to use.
I added a function to my fckconfig.js. The function compares all entries in the selected toolbarSet with the list of all allowed buttons. If there is an entry in the toolbarSet not listed in the allowed list, it's been rmoved from the toolbar-array.

Well, I decided not to change the core editor-files for beeing updateable.
I agree, it would have been easier to use server-side application - in my case also cf. but when a new version of fck comes out, I have to redo all my mods.

here's my example.
In my fckeditor.cfc I modified the function showHTMLEditor:
I added a formfield:
<input type="hidden" id="#this.instanceName#___Options" value="#GetOptionsString()#" />

then I've created the function GetOptionsString()

In this function I use a list containing all available ToolbarItems which is compared with the allowed ToolbarItems. Not allowed Items will be removed.

In my personal fckconfig.js I added the following function which removes all unused ToolbarItems of the selected ToolbarSet:

function cleanToolbarSet(userToolbar,allowedElements){
for(i=0;i<FCKConfig.ToolbarSets[userToolbar].length;i++){
if(FCKConfig.ToolbarSets[userToolbar][i].length){
for(k=0;k<FCKConfig.ToolbarSets[userToolbar][i].length; k++){
if(allowedElements.indexOf(FCKConfig.ToolbarSets[userToolbar][i][k]) == -1 && FCKConfig.ToolbarSets[userToolbar][i][k] != "-"){
FCKConfig.ToolbarSets[userToolbar][i].splice(k,1);
}
}
}
}
}


The arguments:
userToolbar: name of the used Toolbar:
allowedElements: the list located in the formfield at to top

hope this helps
cheers
