From Joomla! Documentation

Revision as of 14:35, 24 December 2016 by Alexred (talk | contribs)

In Joomla! 3.7.0 there's new Editor - TinyMCE version (4.5.0) with new features.
You can configure the editor toolbar by choosing (drag & drop) which buttons and function display.
You can configure may editor "set" to be associated with various user access levels.

Errors reported

  • If in version 3.6.5 or lower I set the TinyMCE editor in "Simple" or "Advanced" mode then upgrading to Joomla 3.7.0 I find the editor in Extended mode and all plugin settings is reset to new default value (Mobile Mode, Images Drag & Drop, Text Direction, Custom CSS Classes, New Lines, Use Joomla Text Filter, ecc..).
  • Multilanguage (the language of editor’s buttons) no longer works after you save for the first time the editor plugin settings. After saving the setting the language of the editor is English. https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/13343
  • Opening the "Editor - TinyMCE" plugin, the first TAB on the left side opens by default and it groups all the settings below (which is not clear). But the first TAB has no effect on the editor settings used by the super user, which is likely to make changes that will not find using the editor.

Only the last hidden TAB Set on the right side has effects for the user Super User. If the first TAB Set is also set to Access → Super User it has no effect, but it continues to have effect the last TAB Set 0 on the right with Access → Special.
