JCE CONFIGURATION

In Lesson 11, we explored TinyMCE's configuration options. JCE also has configuration options, which control the tools that are available to site users.

Go to Components images JCE Administration images Plugins. You will see a list of tools, as shown in Figure 27-13. Essentially, each tool corresponds to an icon or a group of icons in the JCE interface.

You can enable and disable each of these items by clicking the green check in the Enabled column. You may wish to disable items like Font Select, Font Size Select, Font ForeColour, and Font BackColour, since the font display is defined in the template. These tools enable a more free-form approach to styling text. While that sounds good initially, these types of tools tend to make the site look amateurish and junky, because they can result in odd, inconsistent font sizes, faces, and colors throughout the site.
