The editor used when adding a Job Order in CATS version 9.1 is TinyMCE. The implementation only offers a limited number of functions/options (buttons) available, eg. lacking font size settings. Does anyone know how and where I could add additional editing functions/options?

Here's a few alternatives, I'm afraid most of them require some coding in CATS to implement:

FCKeditor: http://www.fckeditor.net/ (demo: http://www.fckeditor.net/demo)
NicEdit: http://nicedit.com/index.php (demo: http://nicedit.com/demos.php)
Openwysiwyg: http://www.openwebware.com/ (demo: http://www.openwebware.com/wysiwyg/demo.shtml)
MarkItUp is not so much a wysiwyg editor, but worth looking at: http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/home/

You could edit the init file at cats/lib/tinymce/jsscripts/tiny_mce/.. all the advanced features are allready installed, you just need to configurate them. It is tinymce version 2.1

Thank you for your swift replies. It is a warm feeling knowing that one is not alone with CATS.

Would you know where I could find the TinyMCE.init? The only reference to TinyMCE I found is in /modules/joborders/Add.tpl. In tiny_mce.js nor in the advanced theme template /lib/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/editor_template.js can I find configurations settings matching those in CATS.

However, viewing the generated code I see the following, but where the heck is it located?

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="lib/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">tinyMCE.init({
mode : "specific_textareas",
editor_selector : "mceEditor",
width : "100%",
theme : "advanced",
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,strikethrough,separator,bullist,numlist,outdent,indent,separator,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,separator,link,unlink,separator,underline,forecolor,separator,removeformat,cleanup,separator,charmap,separator,undo,redo",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",

I think that's from ./lib/TemplateUtility.php;

That did the trick. Thank you RussH, Jos, ronald for you help. This will bring a big smile to our opencats users coming monday.

Russh,

We should replace the 2.1 code within cats with the new release of tinymce 3.1. It is far more advanced. Set me up for the SVN, so that I can start working on that part.
