Color Formatting

[lutzclem]

A color formatting toolbar, like it is implemented in the standard FCKeditor, would lead to more clearly laid out articles IMO.

Could you please specify what project are you referring to? Thanks

[lutzclem]

I'm referring to the "Text Color" and "Background Color" buttons in the mainline FCKeditor, like shown in the  demo. It's a nice-to-have feature and useful when writing documentation or summaries.

There hasn't been an answer for two weeks so I thought I'd give this request a small bump. Is my last post clear enough? I'm including a screenshot to visualize what I mean.

I know what you mean by Text Color and Background Color but I don't know where do you want to implement it in? Do you want it to be implemented in MediaWiki+FCKeditor project? Please let us know.

Thanks

Oh, I thought that was clear :) Yes, I made this feature request for MediaWiki+FCKeditor.

Now it's clear :)

You can easily achieve this kind of behaviour in MW by editing \extensions\FCKeditor\fckeditor_config.js and uncommenting the following line:

['TextColor','BGColor'],

Great, thanks! Just one more question: why is this disabled by default?

[w.olchawa]

Most of the MW users don't like the toolbar to be overloaded by buttons so that is way it is disabled by default.
