A few tips for TYPO3′s HtmlArea RTE configuration
I worked this week with the HtmlArea RTE from TYPO3 more then i ever did on a project before. And i learned some tricks that are very useful when you try to make this RTE to work as you want it. I’m sharing these with you, maybe someone needs them.
All these settings need to be entered in your rootpage’s TSconfig field (on the Options tab of the page edit form)
How to allow embedding of Flash (YouTube videos for example) in the TYPO3 RTE
RTE.default.proc {
allowTags := addToList(object,param,embed)
allowTagsOutside := addToList(object,embed)
entryHTMLparser_db.allowTags < RTE.default.proc.allowTags
}
How to get rid of those annoying images inserted before links
RTE.classesAnchor {
internalLink.image >
externalLink.image >
externalLinkInNewWindow.image >
internalLinkInNewWindow.image >
download.image >
mail.image >
}
How to insert larger images without beeing resized or in other words maximum image size for RTE
RTE.default {
buttons.image.options.magic.maxWidth = 1000
buttons.image.options.magic.maxHeight = 1000
buttons.image.options.plain.maxWidth = 1000
buttons.image.options.plain.maxHeight = 1000
}
In this case you just need to modify those values (1000′s) to your desired max width and max height
How to disable entering of paragraphs when pressing on Enter key
RTE.default{
disableEnterParagraphs=1
}
After you enable this setting you will get br’s inserted instead of p’s when pressing the Enter key
