Question preserving ckeditor_config.js changes on upgrade

Hi,
I was reluctant to upgrade Kunena due to the new ckeditor, but with yesterdays release 5.2.2 I strongly feel that this feature is now stable enough to give it a go on production sites.
Compliments for the devs working on the ck-editor implementation! Good job!

I have made some small changes to the ckeditor_config.js: basically removes the dividers in the button bar to preserve (a lot of) space for the editor: I now have one line of buttons instead of three partly used ones).
 
Question now is: is there a way to make my changes 'survive' a kunena upgrade, or is the ckeditor_config.js overwritten on update?
 

Hello ruud, we know the problem that's not possible to create an own override for this file. Therefore, you can now disable all unneeded symbols in the template configuration. As far as I know you use the skin "moono-lisa". If you enter the name of your skin in the template setting (tab BBCodes the last option) it remain after an update.
Can you tell me please, which additional changes you've provided, so that all symbols in one row?

Hi Rich,
I think with a small change it is possible to preserve the setting / use a different settings file.
In the template configuration, create a parameter e.g. editorConfigPrefix of type text.
then in file ./components/com_kunena/template/crypsis/layouts/widget/editor/ckeditor.php
you change the loading of the ckeditor_config.js to something like this:

The changes I made to the ckeditor_config.js are the removal of the dividers:
old:
    config.toolbarGroups = [
        { name: 'document', groups: [ 'mode', 'document', 'doctools' ] },
        { name: 'clipboard', groups: [ 'clipboard', 'undo' ] },
        { name: 'editing', groups: [ 'find', 'selection', 'spellchecker', 'editing' ] },
        { name: 'forms', groups: [ 'forms' ] },
        '/',
        { name: 'basicstyles', groups: [ 'basicstyles', 'cleanup' ] },
        { name: 'paragraph', groups: [ 'list', 'indent', 'blocks', 'align', 'bidi', 'paragraph' ] },
        { name: 'links', groups: [ 'links' ] },
        { name: 'insert', groups: [ 'insert' ] },
        { name: 'social', groups: [ 'social' ] },
        '/',
        { name: 'styles', groups: [ 'styles' ] },
        { name: 'colors', groups: [ 'colors' ] },
        { name: 'tools', groups: [ 'tools' ] },
        { name: 'others', groups: [ 'others' ] },
        { name: 'about', groups: [ 'about' ] }
    ];

new:
    config.toolbarGroups = [
        { name: 'document', groups: [ 'mode', 'document', 'doctools' ] },
        { name: 'clipboard', groups: [ 'clipboard', 'undo' ] },
        { name: 'editing', groups: [ 'find', 'selection', 'spellchecker', 'editing' ] },
        { name: 'forms', groups: [ 'forms' ] },
        { name: 'basicstyles', groups: [ 'basicstyles', 'cleanup' ] },
        { name: 'paragraph', groups: [ 'list', 'indent', 'blocks', 'align', 'bidi', 'paragraph' ] },
        { name: 'links', groups: [ 'links' ] },
        { name: 'insert', groups: [ 'insert' ] },
        { name: 'social', groups: [ 'social' ] },
        { name: 'styles', groups: [ 'styles' ] },
        { name: 'colors', groups: [ 'colors' ] },
        { name: 'tools', groups: [ 'tools' ] },
        { name: 'others', groups: [ 'others' ] },
        { name: 'about', groups: [ 'about' ] }
    ];

Hope this helps

Yes, it looks better so. Many thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for this tip, it's easy and it's seems good. I will apply that to the 5.2.3 developpement version
