Irite Toolbar

Help Please,

I'm going round in circles with the Irite Toolbar. I have created a custom toolbar which looks like -

{CODE}
// Custom configuration for iRite

FCKConfig.SkinPath = 'skins/silver/'; // relative to fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html
FCKConfig.DocType = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">';

FCKConfig.AutoDetectLanguage = false;
FCKConfig.DefaultLanguage = 'en';

FCKConfig.StartupFocus = false;
FCKConfig.FullPage = false;

FCKConfig.BaseHref = '';
FCKConfig.DefaultLinkTarget = '_self';

FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["Custom"] = [
['PasteText','Bold','UnorderedList','RemoveFormat','Undo']
]; /* Toolbar end */

FCKConfig.ForceStrongEm = true;
FCKConfig.FormatIndentator = ' ';
FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'p';
FCKConfig.FillEmptyBlocks = false;
FCKConfig.FormatOutput = false;
FCKConfig.FormatSource = true;
FCKConfig.IncludeGreekEntities = false;
FCKConfig.IncludeLatinEntities = false;
FCKConfig.ProcessHTMLEntities = true;
FCKConfig.ProcessNumericEntities = true;
FCKConfig.AdditionalNumericEntities = '';
FCKConfig.ForcePasteAsPlainText = true;
FCKConfig.CleanWordKeepsStructure = true;


FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS = '../../Styles/mainbody.css'; // relative to fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html
FCKConfig.BodyClass = 'BODYDIV';
FCKConfig.StylesXmlPath = '../custom/newjob_descriptionStyles1.xml'; // relative to fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html
{CODE}

You will no doubt see that the options I am looking for are only -

'PasteText'
'Bold'
'UnorderedList'
'RemoveFormat'
'Undo'

I'm calling the FCKEditor using -

<%
' WebAssist iRite: Rich Text Editor for Dreamweaver
Dim WARichTextEditor_1 : Set WARichTextEditor_1 = CreateRichTextEditor ("description", "../WA_iRite/", "572px", "230px", "Custom", "custom/newjob_description1.js", "")
%>

And I've uploaded all the files.

When I test the page, all I get is a toolbar with EVERYTHING on it, and nowhere to type any text.

I've used Irite several times previously and never had any issues? Appreciate any help that you can give me - many thanks....

....

Not sure whether this helps, but when I view source I get the following code -

<li>
<input type="hidden" id="description" name="description" value="" style="display:none" /><input type="hidden" id="description___Config" value="CustomConfigurationsPath=custom/newjob_description1.js" style="display:none" /><iframe id="description___Frame" src="../WA_iRite/editor/fckeditor-InstanceName-description+Toolbar-Custom.html " width="572px" height="230px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></li>

You can add styles to your styles list. To do that:

reenter the editor and click the customize button and then click on the Styles tab.
Browse to your style sheet and then select the classes that you would like to add to your styles list, and click OK.

When you browse to your HTMLEditor, you can select the class from your styles list.

Thank you

Hello, thanks for that - all sorted.

One final question, I need to validate that (A) something has been entered in the Irite Textarea and (B) that the number of characters does not exceed 6000.

I've got a validation script that works with normal form elements, but how can I validate the irite elements?

Thank you

the editor name could be used for validation. For example if you have an editor name:

ProductCartDesc then you can check it value as follow:

$_POST["ProductCartDesc"]

Hi Dani,

Thanks for that, I'm guessing that is PHP?

I'm an ASP developer, my javascript validation script looks like -

<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='scripts/formValidator.js'></script>
<script>
function validateupdateaccount(formNode){
var formValidatorInstance = new FormValidator(formNode);
formValidatorInstance.addRule('pname','Profile Name is required','required');
formValidatorInstance.addRule('location','Preferred Location is required','required');
formValidatorInstance.addRule('sector2','Preferred Sector is required','required');
formValidatorInstance.addRule('fileField','Please upload your CV','required');
return formValidatorInstance.validate();
}
</script>

The element looks like -

<%
' WebAssist iRite: Rich Text Editor for Dreamweaver
Dim WARichTextEditor_1 : Set WARichTextEditor_1 = CreateRichTextEditor ("profile", "../WA_iRite/", "366px", "230px", "Custom", "../custom/newjob_profiledescription1.js", "")
%>

Any idea as to how to validate in this case?

Many thanks

try adding this line to your script:

formValidatorInstance.addRule('profile','Profile is required','required');

Hi Mate,

Sorry no joy, that merely tells me that Profile is required, regardless of whether anything has been entered into the Profile textarea RTE?

I also tried replacing it with -

formValidatorInstance.addRule('WARichTextEditor_1','Profile is required','required');

Which did nothing?

Appreciate your help with this?

Thanks

We can try using the editor api function to read the value of the editor:

var theEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('profile') ;
value = theEditor.GetXHTML(true);


In this case the variable "value" will contain the value of the editor. I'm not sure how you could implement this with your script, but you might be able to add a custom script for iRite.
