I find that I am unable to change some of the settings, like the tool bars, after I have added the Advanced Editor. I used to be able to do this, but cannot seem to find the settings.

I want to enable some of the toolbar options, which are currently not showing.

The entry field has the following code:

 <textarea id="EntryCopy" name="EntryCopy" class="dmxEditor blue" style="width:450px;height:150px"><%=(RsEntry.Fields.Item("CopyRSS").Value)%></textarea>
<script type="text/javascript">
  // <![CDATA[
 jQuery(document).ready(
   function()
     {
       jQuery("#EntryCopy").dmxEditor(
         {"width": 450, "height": 150,"iconSet": "modern", "skin": "blue", "toolbars": {"Text": {"enabled": false, "items": {"bold": false, "justifyfull": false}}, "Lists": {"enabled": false}, "Table": {"enabled": false}, "Insert": {"enabled": false}, "Search": {"enabled": false}, "Font": {"enabled": false}, "Style": {"enabled": false}, "Code": {"enabled": false}, "Common": {"enabled": false}}}
       );
     }
 );
  // ]]>
</script>

The current editor (on the actual page) does work fine.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Hans.

Does the properties inspector shows when you select the AHE container? Can you specify your DW version?
There is no problem enabling the toolbars on my machine with your code.
Note that you need to click on the main checkboxes :History,Text,Format,Lists,Table in order to enable the submenu checkboxes for the toolbars.

Thanks, for the reply, no matter where I click, the editor options don't show.

I use DW CS6 on Windows 7 (SP1) and do have the latest version of Adv HTML Editor.

Thanks

Hello Hans.

Can you please recreate the editor using the following steps:
1.) Delete you editor
2.) Apply new editor by clicking on the extension icon from dmxzone toolbar.
3.)Apply your toolbar,skin,iconset seetings.
4.) Apply the initial value through the properties inspector field.
5.) Save the changes to the page and see if you can inspect the editor.

Hi Vulcho,
Thanks, I now see the problem. On my laptop, I only have DW CS5 and on my main development machine I have DW CS5 and CS6. When both versions of DW are installed, the options/properties inspector does not show.

Hope this also helps to trouble shoot with other users.

OK, still not working... I uninstalled CS5, restarted my machine and tried the test you suggested. I can add the editor and can only access the setting during the creation phase. If I then want to change any settings, the properties inspector does not show at all.

Hello Hans.

Can you try to clear your DW cache file and execute again the suggested troubleshooting ?
The following article will help you to achieve that:

Thanks for the feedback. I did try and clear the cache, restarted DW, but I still cannot see the property inspector for the AH Editor.

Hello Hans.

Can you try to click somewhere outside the editor area and after that click on the editor textarea ?


I saw that you posted in other thread also with some problems on touch devices. Can you please make sure that you are using the latest version of the product which is 3.3.3?
Also open the Advanced HTML Editor user interface and make sure that "Focus on Page Load" checkbox is selected under "General" Tab.
