I’m still learning how some of this works, but is it possible to access the formatting toolbar (like the one above what I’m entering now) in forms that aren’t generated as part of an EE function - such as a new email?

While I can write my own, that seems a little dumb!

Cheers,

What kind of form? Are you talking about in the Communicate module, or something else?

Something else entirely, Sue.

EE is really acting as a utility-backend to my website rather than driving the whole thing: and for the most part, EE is very good in that capacity.

Right now, I’m utilising the email, registration and login/out + a “weblog” for the static content but the site is a lot more than that.

Thanks to some of your colleagues I’ve got the handle on XIDs for forms - marvellous - but I’d really like the formatting capability rather than have to write my own: DRY in essence and KISS - because it’s already debugged!

You could look at /system/cp/cp.public.php’s text_formatting_buttons method & see if that helps.

Cheers.

That’s done the trick - but, respectfully, can someone (please) ask the devs. to externalise that Javascript? Some of it is years out of date and being loaded that way causes terrible load on the server when it should be cached at the client.

I’m glad that did it for you.  As far as core javascript implementation, I’d recommend starting a feature request (or I believe there is an existing one out there).  That being said, closing this thread out, don’t hesitate to start a new thread if anything else comes up!
