The version of CKEditor included with this Symphony extension is stripped down to the bare essentials. This means:
This Symphony extension comes with a built-in file browser that is compatible with CKEditor. This file browser uses Symphony sections to store and retrieve uploaded files. It works as follows:
As of version 1.3, it's possible to create link templates for CKEditor. This works as following:
Say, you got a page called 'News', and a section called 'News articles' in which you store all your news articles. This means your news articles probably got URL's like:
You might want to link to these pages from other pages, but you don't want to copy/paste those links. You just want them to
be there in your dropdown of Symphony Pages when you select a link. This is where link templates come in: You can create
a link template like: /news/detail/{$id}/{$title}/
, choose a section the generate the list from, and select the page
from where to show these links. You can set these in the preferences page of your Symphony installation.
As of version 1.3.3 you can add styles to your content. And not as in: you can add a color and stuff, but you can add style in the form of a class to your element, so you can maintain the styling of your frontend with a CSS file instead of inline CSS.
