CF8 - 8.0.15 - More functions

Limit the toolbar functions in a ChronoForms text editor on the frontend.

Overview

The default text editor includes all available buttons, which may be unnecessary or undesirable for public forms.
Add custom data-toolbar attributes to the textarea HTML to specify exactly which buttons appear in the editor interface.

Hello Max, at the risk of being annoying, when will additional functions be available? My deadline for some forms is in a week. For example, I need the text editor for the text area. Actually also reading from the database for Checkboxes Group (CF7 -> json_decode).

8.0.15 is now available for download, it has the editor for textarea, and you can now encode or decode values returned by shortcodes:

{var.encode:read_data3.field_name} // will json encode {var:read_data3.field_name}

OK thank you. A first quick test and it works with the editor. There are conflicts with the badword filter, I emailed you about it. But that's not so critical. The filter is only used for public purposes, so I don't use the editor.

Do you have an idea how I can limit the functions in the frontend? For CF7 I overwrote the file with the editor settings.

you can use "data-toolbar1", "data-toolbar2", "data-toolbar3" HTML attributes in the textarea to customize the buttons of the editor


data-toolbar1=code visualblocks | undo redo | styleselect | bold italic | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify
data-toolbar2=bullist numlist outdent indent | link image media | forecolor backcolor | hr | removeformat | preview
