Allow custom link tags in WYSIWYG editor

Question

I want to let my users add some tags via HTML in the WYSIWYG editor. So, when they add links with the anchor tags like <a> the tags will turn into an embeded link. Is there a way to do that? Right now, the tag itself is just rendered out.

Answer 1

You can enable the CKEditor's "source" button, that allows you to edit the html tags directly :

 

I'm using the CKEditor4 plugin

To enable it go to Admin ---> plugins --> CKEditor4 ---> "Toolbar buttons"

and add this string at the top :

['Source'],

that is the final "toolbar buttons" configuration should be :

['Source'],

['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike'],

['Font','FontSize'],

['TextColor','BGColor'],

['Link','Unlink'],

'/',

['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock'],

['NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','Blockquote'],

['Image','Flash','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley','SpecialChar'],

['RemoveFormat', 'Maximize']

I can't see this.  All I see is this:

WYSIWYG Editor v1.1.1 by Question2Answer
Wrapper for CKEditor WYSIWYG rich text editor

Because you have not installed the CKEditor4 plugin.
You have to install it (read the post....)
