Hi all,

Im new here,

Wanted to ask if it is possible to let only admins to see and use one of the text editors.

Is it possible to give different rulers to different user group in the forum?

 

Thank you

I am afraid not. An interesting and curious question which has never – to the best of my knowledge – been asked before. Would it be possible to explain your reasoning…?

Thank you for your answer.

maybe i didn’t explain it correct… 

Well, i would like to have the possibility as administrator to write lets say with colors or large fonts and so on. But don’t want to give these abilities to the normal user of the forum.

Or I don’t want that the writers will use h1 tags in the  TinyMCE editor.

Sorry if my English is not perfekt…

Thanks

OK – understood.

Of course, the bottom line is that you can not actually stop the use of html tags in post content (apart from obviously disallowed ones). This is not editor dependent. In fact – with the tinyMCE editor we do not encourage or turn on by default the ‘paragraph’ tag button. It is actually easier for a user to paste tags onto the other editors than it is the TinyMCE editor.

Thanks,

 

It is clear that i can not stop the tags… I just don’t want to hang a sign on it :)

well, in the Components – Editor – TinyMCE Settings, there are two Toolbars .Toolbar 1 and Toolbar 2.

 

How can I decided which one will be active?

They are both active although you can clear out toolbar2 if you don’t want it. Also – see the popup help for options.

There are two toolbars because a lot of users display their forum in a narrow column and all the buttons on a single toolbar may overflow the available space their WP theme allows for.

thanks,

I don’t use English in the backend, and i think that is  why I don’t have anything in the popup help.

in the regular popup help i see english, but in the plug-ins it is empty…

 

And if I want to use only Toolbar 2, were can I check it?

 

Thank you for your help

You don’t get any help? Really? That sounds like a bug. I will need to look at that…

Use Toolbar1 – that would be better. For your help – I have pasted below the text you should see…

 

The TinyMCE Rich Text Editor can utilise 2 toolbars. Buttons are specified by their name and the list is comma delimited. The ‘|’ character specifies a separator.

  • inlinepopups
  • media
  • spoiler
  • spellchecker
  • paste
  • wordpress
  • wpdialogs
  • sphelp

(1) The Simple:Press Default set

  • bold
  • italic
  • underline
  • strikethrough
