RT 5.0.5 beta1 Available for Testing

RT 5.0.5 beta1 is now available for testing. In addition to various updates and bug fixes, there are a few new features. For admins, the scrip interface now shows log output for each scrip, making it much easier to code and debug inline scrip conditions and actions.

Is there anyway that the HTML source edit function could be added back as a plugin to the ckeditor? We have customers that use it to double-check the generated code.

We removed some buttons from the default CKEditor toolbar to 1) make it simpler to use and focused on the most used formatting, 2) because the buttons wrap really strangely when it goes to a second row, and 3) when it goes to two rows, it takes up a lot of space with buttons many users don’t use. We’re looking for ways to improve 2 and 3 so we can add more buttons back.

In the meantime, you can modify this yourself. Copy this file in your RT installation directory:

share/static/RichText/config.js

to:

local/static/RichText/config.js

Then modify that file and remove “Source”, and any others you want to show, from the config.removeButtons section. Then restart Apache. The CKEditor configuration gets cached in your browser, so you’ll need to manually clear all JS caches to see the change.
