How do I define the items in the menu row or even better have the default format menu item appear in the toolbar?

I changed menu to this:

menubar: 'format table tools help'

But what appears in the menu in my editor is just format. Table, tools, and help don't appear. Why is that so?

Also, if I want to get rid of the menubar I know I need to set

menubar: false

but is there a way of getting that nice format item from the menubar into the toolbar?

Thanks.

Solution

In order for the item to appear in the menu you also need to load the plugin itself. If (for example) you don't load the help plugin TinyMCE won't show a Help menu because the underlying functionality is not loaded.

is there a way of getting that nice format item from the menubar into the toolbar?

The short answer is "no". A menu item and a toolbar item are different. That being said, many of the capabilities exposed via the Menubar can also be exposed via the Toolbar.

Here is an example of loading both the Help menu option as well as the toolbar button.
