Disable custom buttons and menu items on Code tab?

[J. Tyler]

Hello,

Is there a way to disable custom toolbar buttons and menu items when the user is on the Code tab?  

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,
There appears to be an undocumented option designViewOnly="true" which  
you can specify in the configuration file.  eg:
<menuItem name="test" designViewOnly="true"
           action="InsertHTMLAtCursor" value="foo" text="Test" />

I can't guarantee that the attribute won't be taken away again in  
future versions but even if it does it would just mean the menu item  
is enabled again in code view.  If you want the fully supported,  
definitely won't break in future versions, you'd need to use the  
Plugin APIs which gives you a whole heap of flexibility. See: http://liveworks.ephox.com/hints-tips/advanced-custom-menu-items

Adrian Sutton.

Hi Adrian,

Thanks - its working perfectly!

Can I log a request to document the undocumented feature and keep it around  :)

I would think that the majority of custom buttons and menu items that your users create would not be applicable in the Code tab.

Joe

Actually it turns out we did mention it in the change log for  
EditLive! 6.2 (http://releases.ephox.com/editlive-6200) so it's  
officially a feature, just missing from our documentation.  I've  
logged a bug (EL-2893) to get the documentation fixed up, but it looks  
like you should be able to depend on it sticking around.
