Hi,

I’ve added colorbutton successfully to richt text.  
I’m trying to add CKEditor plugin colorbutton to hippo:namespaces/system/Html/editor:templates/_default_ , it seems it doesn’t work the same way as rich text.  
Can it be added to formatted text?

Thanks!

Figured it out:  
In ckeditor.config.appended.json add:  
{ toolbar : [ {  
name : “colors”,  
items : [“TextColor”, “BGColor”]  
} ],  
extraPlugins: ‘colorbutton’  
}

And that wil not work either. For some reason, probably because it concerns String, text you gave a color disappears, as in: not in String anymore.  
What did work was using rich text and removing any button you do not need 😉
