jadeway Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Is there a way to add more font colours to the font menu?There is a very limited amount of colours currently...I'm a pretty big fan of being able to choose "more colours" and picking some better options.Having access to different blues and greens (teal) is kind of essential for me.

Lukeroge Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It would be nice to have a better color picker, similar to something like this used in other scripts. Or even something like the color picker that already exists in the theme editor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralf Herrmann Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 You can extend it yourself:http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_colorbutton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeroge Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 You can extend it yourself:http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_colorbuttonI suppose. But the default could probably be a nicer color selector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Just add the colour dialog plugin....http://ckeditor.com/addon/colordialogYes, the default could be a nicer color selector, but then the default may not then be to others liking (I'd be straight on here asking to reduce it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up messing around for half an hour to get it back to the IPS theme. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Then you might want to download the version that is compatible with CKEditor 4.4, which is what is in use on IPS4 at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Just tested it out (again) and it works perfectly fine - download the zip, go into the ACP, go to customize the toolbars, click add button and upload the zip. Result: 'More Colors' link added to the existing color dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeway Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks for the help guys. The version 4.4 plugin at http://ckeditor.com/addon/colordialog worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Result: 'More Colors' link added to the existing color dialog.First time ever trying this and I want to make sure I am doing it right. It's ACP>Customize Toolbar> Add Button>Custom?Thanks!

Nathan Explosion Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Nope - it's a CKEditor Plugin, so you use that tab and upload the zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4themusicman Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Nope - it's a CKEditor Plugin, so you use that tab and upload the zip. I don't see a place to upload it in the ACP. I do see these instructions:To install a new plugin, upload the plugin directory to the /applications/core/interface/ckeditor/ckeditor/plugins directory, then visit this page and select the plugin from the list.I am so not a techie. What exactly is that asking me to do? FTP? Config? This looks like something that is beyond my ability to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 No idea where you are seeing that.....so here's the instructions:Download the zip file from http://ckeditor.com/addon/colordialog - use the 4.4.8 versionACP -> Customization -> (Editor) Toolbars -> Add ButtonClick Browse on the CKEditor Plugin tabUpload that zip file.
