===============
Wagtail TinyMCE
===============

Wagtail TinyMCE offers integration of the
`TinyMCE rich text editor `_ into the
`Wagtail CMS `_.

As of Wagtail 1.5 this integrates using Wagtail's alternative rich text editor feature and requires no extra customisation or patching.

Installation
============

Add ``wagtailtinymce`` to your |INSTALLED_APPS Django setting|_.

.. |INSTALLED_APPS Django setting| replace:: ``INSTALLED_APPS`` Django setting
.. _`INSTALLED_APPS Django setting`: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/settings/#installed-apps

Add or change ``WAGTAILADMIN_RICH_TEXT_EDITORS`` in your settings, to use the widget ``wagtailtinymce.rich_text.TinyMCERichTextArea``.

For example, to use TinyMCE for all ``RichTextField`` and ``RichTextBlock`` instances:

.. code-block:: python

WAGTAILADMIN_RICH_TEXT_EDITORS = {
'default': {
'WIDGET': 'wagtailtinymce.rich_text.TinyMCERichTextArea'
},
}

Or, to use TinyMCE for certain instances...

.. code-block:: python

WAGTAILADMIN_RICH_TEXT_EDITORS = {
'default': {
'WIDGET': 'wagtail.wagtailadmin.rich_text.HalloRichTextArea'
},
'tinymce': {
'WIDGET': 'wagtailtinymce.rich_text.TinyMCERichTextArea'
},
}

...and declare fields with the corresponding key in the ``editor`` parameter:

.. code-block:: python

html_field = RichTextField(editor='tinymce', ...)
stream_field = StreamField([('html', RichTextBlock(editor='tinymce', ...)), ...])

TinyMCE configuration
=====================

The ``TinyMCERichTextArea`` constructor accepts keyword arguments for buttons, menus and options which are merged with defaults and passed to TinyMCE.

However, Wagtail does not currently allow for passing parameters to this constructor. To change the configuration you must create and register a subclass of ``TinyMCERichTextArea`` and pass these parameters or amend defaults in the subclass constructor.

Buttons
-------

These are configured as a list of menu bars, each containing a list of groups, each containing a list of button names.

By default, TinyMCE is loaded with buttons for undo/redo, a styles dropdown, bold/italic, lists and tables, link/unlink, Wagtail documents/images/embeds, paste filter toggle and edit fullscreen.

Menu
----

These are configured as a list of menu names.

By default, TinyMCE is loaded with no menubar.

Options
-------

This is a dict. By default, TinyMCE is loaded with the following options set:

- ``browser_spellcheck``
- ``noneditable_leave_contenteditable`` (required for Wagtail image/embed handling)
- ``language`` (taken from Django settings)
- ``language_load``

TinyMCE plugins and tools
=========================

TinyMCE is loaded with the following plugins:

- ``hr``
- ``code``
- ``fullscreen``
- ``noneditable`` (required for Wagtail image/embed handling)
- ``paste``
- ``table`` (and ``inserttable`` tool)

To add further plugins and tools to TinyMCE, use the
``insert_tinymce_js`` and ``insert_tinymce_css`` hooks. Once you have the hook in place use the
following JavaScript to register the plugin with TinyMCE:

.. code-block:: javascript

registerMCEPlugin(name, path, language);

For example:

.. code-block:: javascript

registerMCEPlugin('myplugin', '/static/js/my-tinymce-plugin.js', 'en_GB');

The ``language`` parameter is optional and can be omitted.

A complete ``wagtail_hooks.py`` file example:

.. code-block:: python

import json

from django.templatetags.static import static
from django.utils import translation
from django.utils.html import format_html
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe
from wagtail.wagtailcore import hooks

@hooks.register('insert_tinymce_js')
def my_plugin_js():
return format_html(
"""

registerMCEPlugin("myplugin", {});

""",
mark_safe(json.dumps(static('js/my-tinymce-plugin.js'))),
to_js_primitive(translation.to_locale(translation.get_language())),
)
