How to use a different frontend editor? was created by Chris Vrakotas

Hi,

I'm designing a site, where in the frontend registered users will create K2 items.
I want to modify the frontend page. The file is ../components/com_k2/templates/default/itemform.php
JCE editor is embodied in this file, normal, because I use it in Joomla.
But, I want registered users to use a simpler editor than JCE.
Is it possible to use another editor? How can I do it?

Thanks
Chris

Hello Chris,

You can use a different profile for JCE.

Alternatively you can change the preferred editor of each user.

Hi Krikor,

Thanks a lot for the answer, I tried and It worked!!

I believe you've understood that I want a very simple UI, for the user, so I have 2 more questions
1. If I remove "Title alias (URL)" field, will it be ok? I know aliases are very important for Joomla, that's why I'm not sure.
2. After toggle right sidebar, I only want the circled fields about publishing dates to be visible (see attached pic imgur.com/AScaIJX ). How I remove the rest?

Thanks
Chris

1, Don't remove it. You risk breaking the functionality.
You can also use CSS in order to hide it.

2. You can override the itemform.php , take a look at the fields -> github.com/getk2/k2/blob/master/components/com_k2/templates/default/itemform.php#L842-L865
You can basically hide the not-needed ones.

Hi Krikor,
Regarding alias field I added
.alias {
display: none;
}

at template's custom css file (Gantry/Helium) but it's not working.

#alias is the correct value.
Also use clip: rect(0,0,0,0) and position: absolute instead of display: none.

Can you focus on the alias field?
Love the Ψευδοστοιχείο translation :P

Hi Krikor,
I've managed to hide the field alias (yesterday, I didn't recompile css for specific template part).
Now, as you can see it remains the label. What css rule I have to add?

I would recommend a different approach.
Create a new class like this:

.visually-hidden {
  position: absolute;
  clip: rect(0,0,0,0);
}

Then apply that class to each you want to hide.

I use this way:

<input class="text_area k2TitleAliasBox" type="hidden" name="alias" id="alias" maxlength="250" value="<?php echo $this->row->alias; ?>" />

Transform the input type in "hidden" and leave the "name" attribute unchanged.
