Integrates TinyMCE as alternative WYSIWYG editor in
Backdrop CMS.
This module can co-exist with CKEditor, you can also toggle on-the-fly
in node forms, although having both editors turned on might have side effects
on page performance.
Compatible with the Editor Image Dimension Sync
module.
Why another WYSIWYG editor?
Because CKEditor might eventually not be the ideal solution for your site,
especially beginning with its version 5. This integration module is
supposed to be a drop-in replacement for core's CKEditor module.
Installation
- Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions
- Visit the Text Editors and Formats page under Administration > Configuration > Content authoring (admin/config/content/formats)
- Create or edit a format. In the "Editor" dropdown, select "TinyMCE"
- Optionally switch the profile and add custom content CSS URLs
- Optionally toggle image or file upload and adapt settings
If none of the three default profiles meets your needs, you can create
custom ones with the builder tool. Go to admin/config/content/tinymce-builder
to create a custom profile via drag-and-drop with the buttons you need.
Find additional documentation in the wiki.
Extending with plugins
By default TinyMCE already ships with lots of plugins.
And it's integrated well in Backdrop CMS with its media handling.
But there's more:
- TinyMCE snippets
(Insert pre-defined HTML snippets into content, using a dialog) - TinyMCE paragraph after
(Insert a new paragraph after block level elements) - TinyMCE IMCE
(Integration with the IMCE uploader and browser) - Video Filter since
version 1.x-3.5.0 - File Entity Embed Filter
(Embed file entities in content using a token-like placeholder)
And if that's not enough, it's not hard to add custom ones by leveraging
hook_tinymce_external_plugins(). See the
API example for details.
