custom span calls in redactor

    I am sure it's been asked before but I can't find a simple answer - how to add custom styling options for editors using redactor


    customer wants to be able to apply e.g. a 'blue' style as follows <span class="blue">blue text shows</span>


    this would I think require a separate button on redactor toolbar rather than addition to formatting drop down

    Approved the thread.

    The editors packages you download from the perch site are just wrappers to include a third party editor into perch. You’re going to need to look into the redactor documentation and make your adjustments as necessary in the editor files itself.

    Redactor is part of Perch core now. However, what version of Perch are you using?


    You will probably need a custom editor configuration (assuming that there is a Redactor plugin or functionality to add span tags).


    Heres's an explanation of editor configuration and you will need to read Redactor's own documentation and check plugins on their site.

    Thanks everyone for your help, this is for an 'old' site on latest version 2 series of perch - user has no wish to upgrade as it's a simple site. I have of course already checked redactor documentation but finding details required for an 'old' version of redactor is not as easy as one might hope. I then found the right .js on github and as I had already added view source and tables plugins to redactor it was simple to do after all. Thanks again
