Configure / override Piranha CMS html editor so as not to add &nbsp's to html

Is there a way to configure Piranha CMS not to add &nbsp's when editing html via the editor's "Source code" view? Copying and pasting indented html can result in some very ugly content if the white space / indenting isn't removed before pasting.

Or perhaps the html editor can be overridden some way to prevent this behaviour?

Solution

  • The editor used in Piranha CMS is Tiny MCE 4.0, which has quite a lot of configuration options. You can check out the documentation for the editor here!

    http://www.tinymce.com

    As for overriding the default configuration, you can make a copy of the embedded partial view:

    https://github.com/PiranhaCMS/Piranha/blob/master/Core/Piranha/Areas/Manager/Views/Shared/Partial/TinyMCE.cshtml

    and place it in your application under:

    ~/Areas/Manager/Views/Shared/Partial

    Your local file will then be used instead of the default one.

    Regards!
