Add support for a custom configuration

[hexionaut]

Hi !

Is there a way to enable / disable some features of the editor ?

Thanks for helping !

Hi!

It looks that currently it is not possible. I tried. Follow https://github.com/ckeditor/strapi-plugin-ckeditor#-contributing to adjust the config to your needs. This plugin would be greater if it was possible to create custom configuration...

Oh wait, there's no entry for this plugin in config/plugins.js, so probably won't work :(

@anthonyhexium @Przemek625

Forgive me if I am wrong, which I probably am, but is it not possible to modify a plugin by extending it via the Strapi docs "Plugin Extension"?

I'm kind of talking out of my butt right now, because I don't really know how to do it, but just thought I'd chime in because I'm trying to extend the plugin right now. Which will hopefully work :)

@prestonator If I'm not mistaking, Strapi only supports extending the server part of a plugin. The problem in this plugin is that the configuration is in the React front part and is hard-coded. I think we have no choice but change this plugin's code to make the hard-coded part more configurable.

@anthonyhexium You can use configurator.js to affect custom configuration and rebuild strapi to take effects.

Would you guys accept a PR which allows the configuration object to be overwritten? Kinda the same way as possible in https://github.com/nshenderov/strapi-plugin-ckeditor

If so; any requirements you might have as to how this is implemented?

The ability to overwrite parts of the configuration would be great. I am still on the fence wether to switch from TinyMCE to CKEditor, and this and not being able to do source editing are the main reasons.

For example adding a lead element to the heading options:

config: {
   rich: {
      heading: {
          options: [
              { model: 'lead', view: 'p', title: 'Lead', class: 'lead' },
          ]
      }
   }
}
