I am trying to implement a character count on the TinyMCE rich text editor in Umbraco v7, basically something that says, "For Twitter you have x characters left"
I have tried this code in fiddler http://jsfiddle.net/9DbYY/ but I am new to Umbraco 7 so I do not know where to implement this feature.
Tinymce and character counr display
Hi,
I am trying to implement a character count on the TinyMCE rich text editor in Umbraco v7, basically something that says, "For Twitter you have x characters left"
I have tried this code in fiddler http://jsfiddle.net/9DbYY/ but I am new to Umbraco 7 so I do not know where to implement this feature.
Can someone help.
Thank you.
Hi Bob,
Perhaps you should have a look on the blog post by Tim Geysens, he build a char limit property editor for Umbraco 7 http://www.nibble.be/?p=285 and the GitHub project https://github.com/TimGeyssens/MyFirstBellePropEditor
Hope this can helps you.

Hi Bob
If you want to develop it yourself you can also have a look at have Mark does it here http://www.markadrake.com/blog/2015/01/22/custom-umbraco-property-editor-tutorial-character-counts/ - I think the color highlightning is nice when one is nearing the final allowed characters.
But there actually already is a package, which supports this, which you can download here as well http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/kraftvaerkmaxlength
