Integration for the TinyMCE editor in Backdrop CMS

Primary LanguageJavaScriptGNU General Public License v2.0GPL-2.0

TinyMCE

Integrates TinyMCE as alternative WYSIWYG editor in Backdrop CMS.

Screenshot of the full profile

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.

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:

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.
