Noneditable plugin

The noneditable plugin has been rewritten from scratch to use stability improvements to the TinyMCE core. It is now more reliable and has fewer browser-specific quirks.

This plugin enables you to prevent users from being able to edit content within elements assigned the mceNonEditable class.

Type: String

Example

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: "noneditable"
});

When you have existing classes that cannot be removed, you may combine MCE classes with the existing class in the following manner:

Non-editable div example

<div class="myclass mceNonEditable">Contents</div>

Editable div example

<div class="myclass mceEditable">Contents</div>

Options

These settings affect the execution of the noneditable plugin. These settings help determine which areas of the editor’s editable area will remain editable and which will be converted to non-editable status.

noneditable_editable_class

This option allows you to specify the class name that TinyMCE will use to determine which areas of content are editable when using the noneditable plugin. This would be the the same as contenteditable=true, forcing an element to be editable.

Note that classes with the mceItem prefix are invisible within TinyMCE.

Type: String

Default Value: "mceEditable"

Example

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: "noneditable",
  noneditable_editable_class: "mceEditable"
});

noneditable_noneditable_class

This option allows you to specify the class name that TinyMCE will use to determine which areas of content are editable when using the noneditable plugin. This would be the same as contenteditable=false.

Note that classes with the mceItem prefix is invisible within TinyMCE.

Type: String

Default Value: "mceNonEditable"

Example

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: "noneditable",
  noneditable_noneditable_class: "mceNonEditable"
});

noneditable_regexp

This option allows you to specify a regular expression or array of regular expressions that TinyMCE will use to determine which areas of content are noneditable when using the noneditable plugin. Remember the regexps needs to be global so that all of the matches within the document gets converted.

Type: String

Example

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: "noneditable",
  noneditable_regexp: /<custom-token>/g
});
