Sitecore 8:Custom Dropdown List in RTE

1
votes

I am trying to implement a custom drop list in RTE in Sitecore 8.The drop list on selection should just insert the associated value of the selected item from the drop list to RTE.

I followed the blog post at https://jammykam.wordpress.com/2014/06/17/add-custom-drop-down-list-to-rich-text-editor-in-sitecore/ and Custom RTE Dropdown in Sitecore 7.0 to implement this.However it does not work in sitecore 8.

Can you please let me know on how to achieve the same.

Thanks In Advance,

I just tested and it's still working the same in Sitecore 8 as it previously did in Sitecore 7.x versions, just as I previously answered and blogged.

Since the change is not showing up then there are some things to check:

  • Make sure you are editing the correct Rich Text Profile, there are several defined by default. Check your config for HtmlEditor.DefaultProfile setting for the default profile in use
  • Make sure your template is has not set a different profile to use. Check the source value of the Rich Text field on the template to make sure it does not override the default.

I can confirm this works in Sitecore 8 as I implemented the same thing following @jammykam's blog.

Double check your custom drop down is of template /sitecore/templates/System/Html Editor Profiles/Html Editor Custom Drop Down or /sitecore/templates/System/Html Editor Profiles/Html Editor Custom Drop Down Button and your list items are of template /sitecore/templates/System/Html Editor Profiles/Html Editor List Item
