Extend Rich Text Editor

Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 9

Hi, is there any way to extend the rich text editor and add your own shortcuts. Like the B shortcut will surround the selection with strong tags. I'd like to create my own shortcut that will surround a selection with a span and a given class.

I'm also struggling with this, in Umbraco 8 I was using the style_formats custom config but have so far failed to get it to work in Umbraco 9 :(

This is an example of what I had in 8

   <customConfig>
       <config key="style_formats">
                [
                {
                "title":"Headings",
                "items":[
                {
                "title":"Top Heading",
                "block":"h1"
                },
                {
                "title":"Heading h2",
                "block": "h2"
                },
                {
                "title":"Sub Head h3",
                "block":"h3"
                },
                {
                "title":"Heading h4",
                "block":"h4"
                },
                {
                "title":"Heading h5",
                "block":"h5"
                },
                {
                "title":"Heading h6",
                "block":"h6"
                }
                ]}
        ]
        </config>
    </customConfig>

I tried the same thing in 9 but it throws an error in the backoffice, An error occurred Cannot create instance of type 'System.String' because it is missing a public parameterless constructor.

"CustomConfig": {
  "style_formats": [
    {
      "title": "Headings",
      "items": [
        {
          "title": "Top Heading",
          "block": "h1"
        },
        {
          "title": "Heading h2",
          "block": "h2"
        },
        {
          "title": "Sub Head h3",
          "block": "h3"
        },
        {
          "title": "Heading h4",
          "block": "h4"
        },
        {
          "title": "Heading h5",
          "block": "h5"
        },
        {
          "title": "Heading h6",
          "block": "h6"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Hi, I didn't know this existed. But I found this answer: https://our.umbraco.com/forum/umbraco-9/106837-tinymceconfig-where-to-find-it-in-umbraco-9#comment-332731

Ha Ha, just found that myself :D

That is going to look very nasty and unmaintainable for a large config section like I have.

Do you perhaps have the link on the tinyMce documentation on how this works and how I can configure my own tags in there?

Hi Roy,

Based on your inital question, you can do the following

  "Umbraco": {
      "RichTextEditor": {
        "CustomConfig": {
          "style_formats": "[{\"title\": \"Red text\",\"inline\": \"span\",\"classes\": \"red\"}]"
        }
      },
      "WebRouting": {
        "DisableRedirectUrlTracking": true
      }
    }
  }

This will give you an entry under 'Formats' that will wrap your selection in a span with the class red enter image description here

I have now set mine to do set the style_formats automatically while allowing me to use a nice json file to maintain it in. Instructions in the link below
