Add External TinyMCE Plugins

Where additional customization is required, custom plugins can be loaded into TinyMCE.

Adding External TinyMCE Plugins

1. Using a plain text editor, open config/config.js in the extracted Tiny Editors for HCL Connections package.

   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.

2. Locate the property externalPlugins and modify the array to customize the external plugin configuration using the following resources:

   • External Plugins for TinyMCE.
   • Create a Plugin for TinyMCE.
   • The external plugins customization syntax.
   • Connections locations for selectively loading plugins. Tip: If the external plugin array is empty (externalPlugins: [],), no external plugins will be loaded.

   externalPlugins: [
     {
       name: 'demo',
       url: '/connections/resources/web/tiny.demo/plugins/demo/plugin.min.js',
       on: ['wikis']
     }
   ],
   

3. Continue configuring the Tiny Editors integration or continue with the installation.
