Add External TinyMCE Plugins

Where additional customization is required, custom plugins can be loaded into TinyMCE.

  1. Using a plain text editor, open config/config.js in the extracted Tiny Editors for HCL Connections package.

    Note

    Use a plain text editor to avoid inserting invalid formatting or symbols into config.js. Do not use a rich text editor such as Microsoft Word for editing configuration files.

  2. Locate the property externalPlugins and modify the array to customize the external plugin configuration using the following resources:

    Tip

    If the external plugin array is empty (externalPlugins: [],), no external plugins will be loaded.

    externalPlugins: [
  {
    name: 'demo',
    url: '/connections/resources/web/tiny.demo/plugins/demo/plugin.min.js',
    on: ['wikis']
  }
],

  3. Continue configuring the Tiny Editors integration or continue with the installation.
