Customize tools on the Rich Text Editor toolbar

You can customize the tools available to your users in the Rich Text Editor toolbars based on the needs of your organization. Toolbars can be customized separately for desktop and mobile applications. In both cases, there are individual config settings for the RTE toolbars for: 1) page body and admin screens, 2) page summary, and 3) comment box and forms.

To customize the RTE toolbars on your intranet, copy and paste some or all of the supported tools in the heading below into the Value column of the appropriate ThoughtFarmer admin panel config setting. You can reorder the tools as desired. Add "|" to start a new section in the toolbar. Remember to surround the entire config setting value with square brackets [ ] and click Save.

See the heading Rich Text Editor configuration settings below for a list of available configuration settings with their default values.

• Mobile page body and admin screens: richTextEditor.toolbar.advanced.mobile
  ["heading","bold","italic","removeFormat","numberedList","bulletedList","linkBrowser"]

Enable or disable emojis

If this setting is enabled, an icon appears in the RTE controls allowing users to add emojis to their content or comments. Emojis can also be added in these areas and other areas that don't use the RTE (like Activity card comments and Shout-outs) by typing a colon ":" and then typing to search for the desired emoji.

1. Go to the Admin panel: Advanced section > Configuration settings page.
2. Type emoji in the Search config settings field to narrow the list of config settings.
3. Find the config setting emoji.enabled in the Name column.
4. Click in the Value column beside the config setting:
   1. Select the true radio button to enable emojis.
   2. Select the false radio button to disable emojis.
5. Click Save.

Select fonts and font colors available in RTE

To learn more, see Specify available fonts and font colors.

Enable in-page linking

When the config setting richTextEditor.inPageContentLinksEnabled is set to True, a new icon appears to the right of the Insert link/Unlink icons that allows users to create link target IDs in the page. Users can then create links in the page that will link to the place/heading they have set as a link target.

Configure inserted image height and width

Default image insertion height and width (in pixels) can be adjusted using the config settings richTextEditor.insertedImageHeight and richTextEditor.insertedImageWidth.

Add custom CSS file to editor content

You can add custom CSS files to the content area of the editor. To do this, use the richTextEditor.custom.css config setting. Add paths, relative or absolute, to custom CSS files, separated by a comma.
