Hi!

Is there a way to change the default Editor in Invite Friends? It is using TinyMCE by default including the editor buttons at the bottom. I assume the Invite Friends feature is available to all Users so giving all users a full access to Editor is a suicide in my opinion. Depending on what editor button a website has it will be made available to users. Say for example NoNumbers Sorcerer which enables a user to include a Php code in the body of Article. You can't turn off Editor button since it might also be used by Site Admins or Staff.

Not just the Edito button, but the Tiny MCE editor itself. There is no control for Site Admins in this Invite Friends. I suggest, instead of TinyMCE why not use MarkIt Up editor for regular users, just like what is used in the Forum? But... please give Site Admins control over what Editor to use. This will also be a good Marketing Tool for Site Admin sending out an Invitation just like a Newsletter and with that Site Admins needs a better Editor compared to regular users.

Thanks,

Jackson
Hello Jackson,

Unfortunately right now it's not possible to use a different editor but those buttons that you see beneath the editor can be configured to appear on selected user groups on the site. These plugins are available under the "Editors-xtd" plugin in Joomla's plugin manager.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the plugin tip I forgot about the Joomla Access Level.

But anyways, I am not running v1.3.4 in our live site and Invite Friends is now using Joomla Default Editor, which is cool cause I'm using JCE. Since JCE have the ability to create multiple profile groups, so I can easily create a profile for Community group and limit the toolbar/functionality users can use.

Thanks again.

Jackson
