Two Quicktag Questions Posted by Zero 02 Jun 2007 00:41 GMT-0000 posts: 101 Hi folks - any idea how I can 1) re-order my quick tags? 2) set the quick tags to Show by default rather than be hideen? -Zero
Posted by Marc Laporte 02 Jun 2007 13:36 GMT-0000 posts: 1646 Good ideas! At the moment (1.9.7), these options do not exist. Please add to wishlist on dev.tikiwiki.org Please indicate what would be the ideal order for the Quicktags. Maybe I could change the order in the default install. (which would be simpler than coding a way to change the order) Thanks! M 😊

They are listed in order, by name. > 2) set the quick tags to Show by default rather than be hideen? Yes. In tiki-edit_help_tool.tpl, you need to: Remove the enclosing <div class="quicktag"> Remove the javascript toggle. You can see this in action, on my Tiki's sandbox: http://www.keycontent.org/tiki-index.php?page=Sample+Collaboration HTH, -Rick
Posted by Zero 04 Jun 2007 23:18 GMT-0000 posts: 101 Unfortunately I'm not having any luck editting the tiki-edit_help_tool.tpl file to the effect of being able to have the quicktags menu expanded by default. I removed the div, but I'm totally unclear on what needs to go when you say "remove the javascript toggle". I checked out your page, but I didn't really find it too helpful as finding out what I need to do... can you give me anymore help?

Look for these lines: <a href="java script:toggleBlock('quicktags..... <div id='quicktags.... and its closing </div> and remove them. HTH, -Rick
Posted by BillMac 13 Nov 2007 00:48 GMT-0000 posts: 18 > 1) re-order my quick tags? Because the QuickTags sort in reverse alphabetical order, I added letters to the tag names in the order I wanted them. For example, I wanted the font attributes to be grouped and to be the first in the listing because they are most likely to be used. So, z_bold y_italic x_underline It's ugly, but it works. I don't think many folks browse the help balloons so maybe I'll get away with it. I also removed some of the more complex or less likely-to-be-used tags to simplify things for our users. And I added H2 and H3 headings as above and Red text and Green text. A prettier way to put the tags in a desired order would be very nice. Bill

I don't think many folks browse the help balloons so maybe I'll get away with it. > Instead of using simple letters to order the tags (which, as you say, leads to useless popup text), try using more useful names: style, bold style, italic style, underline etc. Not perfect, but (IMHO) a bit better than simply z.., x.., y.., etc. HTH, -Rick Now Available: TikiWiki for Dummies Smarties — A beginner's guide to using ))TikiWiki((.
