Can I use CKEditor without a toolbar?

(Possible duplicate: CKEditor - No toolbars)

I'd like to create a CKEditor instance without a toolbar. I tried defining an empty toolbar to use in the instance's config

oConfigName.toolbar = 'Custom';
oConfigName.toolbar_Custom = [];

but I get a small empty toolbar by my instance, instead of no toolbar.

I am using inline editing with CKEditor4.

Solution

  • Wow :) This is something that we haven't thought of while implementing toolbar. But I've just checked that you can remove toolbar plugin, because it isn't required by any other plugin.

    So build your own CKEditor package without toolbar or use removePlugins configuration - e.g.:

    var editor = CKEDITOR.inline( 'editable', {
    removePlugins: 'toolbar'
} );

    Update: In CKEditor 4.1 the Advanced Content Filter was introduced. In its automatic mode it is configured by buttons which are loaded to toolbar. Without toolbar plugin ACF is not configured, so one need to do this on his own:

    var editor = CKEDITOR.inline( 'editable', {
    removePlugins: 'toolbar',
    allowedContent: 'p h1 h2 strong em; a[!href]; img[!src,width,height];'
} );
