I have a tinyMCE editor which uses the advanced theme. I am using the simple layout on that advanced theme so I can define my own toolbars on init() without having to get too deep into what tinyMCE is doing.
The problem I have is that my editor doesn't have buttons for adding heading elements. I am desperately in need of this option but can find no practical advice on the subject.
Everything I'm doing happens inside the tinymce.init() function, which I have pasted below:
$("textarea.tinymce").not(".simple").tinymce({
script_url : "/_lib/script/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js",
plugins : "wordcount,paste,spellchecker,table",
theme : "advanced",
theme_advanced_layout_manager : "SimpleLayout",
theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
theme_advanced_buttons1
: "bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,|,forecolorpicker",
theme_advanced_buttons2
: "undo,redo,|,cut,copy,pastetext,pasteword,|,link,unlink,anchor,|,image,code",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
height : 480,
apply_source_formatting : false,
convert_fonts_to_spans : true
});
I am using the jquery plugin to access tinyMCE ( I'm sure this has nothing to do with my question but it explains the code ).
One idea I had was to use the theme_advanced_styles option but I don't think this will allow me to insert actual heading tags, but rather just style my markup with spans and whatnot to look like a header.
Any ideas greatly appreciated. Cheers, J
Here is a button which will make a heading1 out of a paragraph. Add 'formath1' to your buttonlist and add this to your tinymce init
setup : function(ed){
ed.addButton('formath1', // name to add to toolbar button list
{
title : 'Make h1', // tooltip text seen on mouseover
image : 'http://myserver/ma_button_image.png',
onclick : function()
{
ed.execCommand('FormatBlock', false, 'h1');
}
});
},
