Nice, do you have any link about getting it into the instance of IPB?

[Nathan Explosion]

• Download the zip
• ACP -> Customization -> (Editor) Toolbars -> Add Button
• Upload the zip
• Drag the icon from the bottom editor to the top editor

This plugin is not working correctly on IPS4

[Nathan Explosion]

I can throw out general comments too:

This plugin is working on IPS4.

But I can also back it up by proving it:

1) I've used it.

2) I've just tested it.

3) Here's pictures of it working.

Over to you to elaborate on why it isn't working correctly for you

[EarthDog]

ok guys, i am testing it now in dev installation and letting you know

[EarthDog]

So guys it seems we have issues on my side.

Chrome is having trouble and firefox also...

First pic from chrome second from firefox. Cleaned cache

No issues like that here - default IPS theme, Chrome/Firefox/Safari/IE all good.

Scratch that...had another thing going on in Chrome -> yes...major issues. But all other browsers fine.

That's down to z-index....to workaround it, edit the following file:

/applications/core/interface/ckeditor/ckeditor/plugins//maximize/plugin.js

Locate the 2 lines that have "editor.config.baseFloatZIndex" in them and change the " - 5" in the lines to " + 5000"

That will give it a z-index of 15000 (baseFloatZIndex is 10000) and should sort you out.

It seems my friend that your trick did the job...Many thanksssss

I noticed that after changing the z index the font and font size dropdowns do not appear while in full screen mode. How can we find the dweet spot for the correct zindex number?

[Nathan Explosion]

You can do that by figuring out what the zindex values are for those items and then go from there.

[Nathan Explosion]

The answer is 10001 is the zindex of those 2 dialogs, which is 1 above the baseFloatZIndex of the editor itself.

You can use either:

editor.config.baseFloatZIndex

or

editor.config.baseFloatZIndex + 1

instead of

editor.config.baseFloatZIndex -5

in that case (not tested)

That worked for the font size , font e.t.c BUT it does not work with the buttons that require a new dialog , like CODE, INSERT LINK e.t.c

Any magic for that one?

[Nathan Explosion]

Nope - you're on your own, as I'm not going to have much time over the next few days to look at this.

All I did to figure the last one out is look at the site in firebug and look at the z-indexes generated as and when items are utilised.

[EarthDog]

Thanks anyway! Nathan! You did enough to get me started
