Add custom macros
Creating simple macros to provide useful work shortcuts.
-
Using a plain text editor, open customization_path/javascript/tiny/editors/connections/config.js.
Note: Use a plain text editor to avoid inserting invalid formatting or symbols into config.js. Do not use a rich text editor such as Microsoft Word for editing configuration files.
-
Locate the
postCreateTextboxio
function template.postCreateTextboxio: function(editor) { }
This function is called for TinyMCE, and only accepts one parameter
editor
. -
Use the runtime API
editor.macros.addSimpleMacro
to add a macro.Note: The usage is as follows:
editor.macros.addSimpleMacro(startString, endString, callback);
where
startString : is a string to search for signifying the beginning of the macro replacement.
endString : is a string to search for signifying the end of the macro replacement.
callback : is a function that receives the text between the
startString
andendString
markers and returns HTML which should replace it (includingstartString
andendString
)....
Macros could be used to implement a simplified bbcode like system.
postCreateTextboxio: function(editor) { editor.macros.addSimpleMacro('[red]', '[/red]', function(match) { return '<span style="color: red">' + match + '</span>'; }); }
Multiple macros can be created.
postCreateTextboxio: function(editor) { editor.macros.addSimpleMacro('[red]', '[/red]', function(match) { return '<span style="color: red">' + match + '</span>'; }); editor.macros.addSimpleMacro('[blue]', '[/blue]', function(match) { return '<span style="color: blue">' + match + '</span>'; }); }

When you have finished making configuration changes, follow the post-customization steps to ensure the server cache is updated.
Note: If the configuration changes do not take affect, restart the Common enterprise application to force a cache update.
