Is it possible to override default ckeditor settings

I've just started using Gorcery Crud and it's a brilliant tool.

 

I want to use different sized ckeditor boxes on different view templates. Some would need only a basic button set and 100-200px of height, others would have the full button set and 600-700px height.

 

I know how to define ckeditor parameters if I include it on a non GC page I create but I cannot see a way of telling CG to use a specific config or even how to tell it to use the 'textarea.mini-texteditor' defined in jquery.ckeditor.config.js

 

Can I override the default settings by including something in the view template itself?

 

Thanks for any help

Richard

Hello and welcome to the forums [member=briggers].

Have you tried changing the value on grocery_crud.php under application/config to minimal?

Saying this though this is a global change.

Probably you will need to change via javascript the actual config values of the CKEditor, along with the required height.

Check here for the size.

Thanks for the idea David, but how can I include the call to that JS code in the template - or pass it to the template from my controller?

This is the code GC generates:

....
....
<div class='form-input-box' id="page_content_input_box">
					<textarea id='field-page_content' name='page_content' class='texteditor' ><h2>
	Welcome to XXX</h2>
<p>
	This is a page about us</p>
</textarea>				</div>
....
....

So I assume that the ckeditor id is also field-page_content

All the output of your application when using Grocery CRUD is generated from your selected theme under assets/grocery_crud/themes/your_theme.

Research there what would be the best way of integrating this code for your particular needs.

There are many solutions to this, it just depends on your requirements.

Solved by including this at the end of the page:

<script type="text/javascript">
	CKEDITOR.config.width ='950px';
	CKEDITOR.config.height='600px';
</script>

Seems one can change lots of the config parameters on the page in this way.

 

Hope this helps someone else
