xs:string editor => 'View Source'

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

One of the limitations with the xs:string editor in WCM is that you can't view the source.

At the moment I'm using a partially modified version of HTML so that I can reference bits of XML etc. Rather than having to extend the xs:string rich text editor it would be a lot easier to just edit the source.

As an example, I want the resulting output to look like;

<!– snippet, let's say the element we're working in is an xs:string –>
<p>
This is a link to an xml element, <a idref="other_content">Other Content</a>.
</p>

Something like the functionality of the button in the top left of the FCKeditor (http://www.fckeditor.net/) would allow me to do what I need to do straight away.

I wanted to post here before going to JIRA. Is there a way to do this that I am not seeing?

Hey there kooktroop,

Yes you can do this.  Search your 'alfresco' home directory for this file:

xforms.js

Then change this line:

theme_advanced_buttons1:
"bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,separator,fontselect,fontsizeselect,code"

In your installation you won't have 'code' there, add it, and be sure to clear cache on your browser.

Thanks,
