Installation

The Tiny MCE editor can be installed by adding the following NuGet package:

PM> install-package Piranha.Manager.TinyMCE

Default Editor Tools

By default the following tools are enabled by the editor:

  • Bold & Italic
  • Unordered & Ordered Lists
  • Horizontal Line
  • Left, Center & Right Alignment
  • Standard Header & Block Formats
  • Link Editor with CMS integration
  • Image picker with CMS integration

Configuring The Editor

The editor can be customized either through code, or by creating a JSON config file with the editor configuration.

Configure with JSON config

// editorconfig.json
{
  "plugins": "autoresize autolink code hr paste lists piranhalink piranhaimage",
  "toolbar": "bold italic | bullist numlist hr | alignleft aligncenter alignright | formatselect | piranhalink piranhaimage",
  "blockformats": "Paragraph=p;Header 1=h1;Header 2=h2;Header 3=h3;Header 4=h4;Code=pre;Quote=blockquote",
  "styleformats": [

      "title": "Lead",
      "tag": "p",
      "type": "block",
      "classes": "lead"
    }
  ]
}

    Piranha.Manager.Editor.EditorConfig.FromFile("editorconfig.json");
