Customizing the Sitefinity WYSIWYG Editor - Sitefinity - General Discussions

I trying to add new button (insert code snippet) to the editor regarding following article:
www.sitefinity.com/.../customizing_the_sitefinity_wysiwyg_editor.aspx

I would like use current standard tools files as template. But I don't have this file in the solution. I guess tools files are stored as embedded resource. I tried to extract resources and didn't find tools files there.

Can you please post StandardEditorConfiguration and MinimalEditorConfiguration somewhere?
Or let me know where and how I can extract this files.

Thanks!
Denis.

Hi Denis,

Please find below the default StandardToolsFile and MinimalToolsFile. Please note that the MinimalToolsFile configuration is used only for the Comments module, so I believe you won't need to modify that one. Concerning the code snippets functionality you want to implement, I'd recommend you to take a look at this article form our online Documentation, I believe you might find it useful.

Thank you I was able to add insert snippet button.

I'm facing another issue. Html snippets I add have css classes in it. All classes applied as expected everywhere (from theme) besides content editor (RadEditor). I extracted all CSS classes that relate to snippets to the separate CSS file. How can I apply this css file to the Editor's content area?

I tried to use Settings->Appearance->EditorContentAreaCssFile setting. I set it up to something like this:
App_Data\Sitefinity\WebsiteTemplates\WebbyWellTemplates\App_Themes\General\Content\ContentMain.css

But nothing changes...

Hi Denis,

Can you please make sure you have specified the correct application relative path to your custom CSS flie? I'm attaching a short video demonstrating how to set this up, and the styles applied to the content editor. Please do not hesitate to let us know if any problems persist.

Kind regards,
