Hi,
Is there a way to filter buttons in Fancy editr (for eg. full screen writing) used by bbPress on the frontend – in topics and replies?
I was trying to filter it ‘bbp_get_the_content’ but I didn’t figure it out.

I’ve used the following code to remove some buttons for non-admins.
This will keep your normal editor in the admin pages as they should stay, yet visitors of my bbPress forum can only use a few buttons.
You can find a list of “standard” buttons in tinyMCE here.

Place this code in the functions.php file of your theme.
(ps. I’m no expert and pretty new to bbPress – but this worked like a charm for me)

function bbp_mce_override( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_mce_override' );

// *********************** CUSTOMIZE TINYMCE BUTTONS FOR BBPRESS *****************************
if (!is_super_admin()) // remove buttons for non admins
{
function add_tinymce_buttons($buttons)
{
$arr_size=count($buttons);
// remove blockquote, kitchen-sink, full-screen and the more-button
$remove_these=array('blockquote','wp_adv','fullscreen','wp_more');

for ($counter=$arr_size; $counter>=0; $counter--)
{
if ( in_array($buttons[$counter],$remove_these) )
{
unset($buttons[$counter]);
}
}

// add the "image" button
array_push($buttons,'image');

return $buttons;
}

// Erase the entire 2nd button bar
function add_tinymce_buttons_2($buttons)
{
unset($buttons);
return $buttons;
}

add_filter('mce_buttons', 'add_tinymce_buttons');
add_filter('mce_buttons_2', 'add_tinymce_buttons_2');
}

Sorry that the code looks a little messy, the code-tag didn’t do a very good job at keeping the indentation and there is no edit button …. hmmm.
I’ll just give it another try.


function bbp_mce_override( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_mce_override' );

if (!is_super_admin()) // remove buttons for non admins
{
function add_tinymce_buttons($buttons)
{
$arr_size=count($buttons);
$remove_these=array('blockquote','wp_adv','fullscreen','wp_more');

for ($counter=$arr_size; $counter>=0; $counter--)
{
if ( in_array($buttons[$counter],$remove_these) )
{
unset($buttons[$counter]);
}
}

array_push($buttons,'image');

return $buttons;
}

function add_tinymce_buttons_2($buttons)
{
unset($buttons);
return $buttons;
}

add_filter('mce_buttons', 'add_tinymce_buttons');
add_filter('mce_buttons_2', 'add_tinymce_buttons_2');
}

If anyone can tell me how to properly post code I’ll try again. 🙁

Wrap the code in <pre><code></code></pre>

Thank you Hansaplastique!

Looks like first function (bbp_mce_override) overrides bbPress tinymce settings and then uses mce buttons same as they appear in the backend (which can be then modified easily).

[@hansaplastique Participant 12 years ago]

Thanks Stephen – and here I thought the “code” button would do that for me 😉
I’ll paste the code again, as you can see I removed some buttons (that have no purpose anyway) and added some …


add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'tinymce_other_css_for_content');

function bbp_mce_override( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_mce_override' );

if (!is_super_admin()) // remove/add buttons for non admins
{
function add_tinymce_buttons($buttons)
{
$arr_size=count($buttons);
$remove_these=array('blockquote','wp_adv','fullscreen','wp_more');

for ($counter=$arr_size; $counter>=0; $counter--)
{
if ( in_array($buttons[$counter],$remove_these) )
{
unset($buttons[$counter]);
}
}

array_push($buttons,'separator','cut','copy','paste','separator','undo','redo','separator','sub','sup','forecolor','backcolor','charmap');

return $buttons;
}

function add_tinymce_buttons_2($buttons)
{
unset($buttons);
return $buttons;
}

add_filter('mce_buttons', 'add_tinymce_buttons');
add_filter('mce_buttons_2', 'add_tinymce_buttons_2');
}


For some of these to work I had to expand the allowed_tags in WordPress (be carefull when doing this) using the following code;


function my_allowed_html_tags_in_comments() {
define('CUSTOM_TAGS', true);
global $allowedtags;

$allowedtags = array(
'a' => array(
'href' => array (),
'title' => array ()),
'blockquote' => array(
'cite' => array ()),
'cite' => array (),
'code' => array(),
'em' => array(),
'strong' => array(),
'pre' => array(
'class' => array()),
'p' => array(
'style' => array()),
'span' => array(
'style' => array()),
'sup' => array(),
'sub' => array()
);
}

add_action('init', 'my_allowed_html_tags_in_comments', 10);


Hope it’s helpful to someone 🙂

I guess the code formatting didn’t work again … wish I could edit.

Hi Hansaplastique is possible to add at tinyMCE editor the preview button?

[@hansaplastique Participant 12 years ago]

I have no idea – it seems that this is a tinyMCE plugin?
I haven’t played with 3rd party tinyMCE plugins yet – but if you tell me how to install it, then I wouldn’t mind testing it for you.

Bottomline is that you’ll have to look for the “keyword” to get the button to become visible (in this case “preview” according to this link). Add that keyword to the “array_push” list.

One plugin I use (WP Smileys) requires that I make a few minor modifications;

In functions.php (in the code above, just below “add_filter(‘mce_buttons_2’, ‘add_tinymce_buttons_2’);”), I had to add:

// Restore the smileys plugin
add_filter(“mce_external_plugins”, “s4w_tinymce_addplugin”);
add_filter(‘mce_buttons’, ‘s4w_tinymce_registerbutton’);

Ok thanks for help, I’ll try!
