Hi, I have just switched to the Froala editor. Is there a config file or similar way to set up the editor? In particular, I would love to be able to force a 'plain text' paste. Looking at their docs, there seems to be a option "pastePlain" but I do not know how to invoke this. Any help appreciated!

Thank you

On PC the keyboard shortcut to paste plain text is "Ctrl + Shift + V"

Thanks Gary, unfortunately users often don't do this and the product descriptions get really messy when they paste from Word etc. It would be great to have the editor use the 'pastePlain' behaviour by default. With CKeditor there is config.js where you can put such things. I need to move to Froala for other reasons though, so was hoping to find the place where Froala is invoked, or where config options can be specified. Any ideas?

The example code given on the link I gave is this:

new FroalaEditor('.selector', {

pastePlain: true

});

There is another useful looking property "pasteAllowedStyleProps" which could be used to specify the list of allowed CSS attributes to be used for tags on paste.

Thank you
Ellen

Ellen's example code to force Froala to paste 'plain text' is correct.

This is how to implement:

1) In your favourite code editing software, open file "vsadmin/froala/js/froala_editor.min.js"
2) I actually unminify the javascript to make the code readable and re-save. But this is optional.
3) CTRL+F to find: pastePlain:!1
4) Replace that entry with: pastePlain:true
5) Save the file "vsadmin/froala/js/froala_editor.min.js" and Upload to server.

It works

That's great, just what I needed to know. Thank you for posting it Gary
