Description of the toolbar customization for Kupu 1.4.x

A usual Kupu toolbar looks this way:

toolbar-kupu

 

It consists of the buttons, each of them suit this or that purpose. Buttons and their functions are described in a Kupu Button Index chapter.

In case you don't use some of the buttons, there is no need for them to be on the toolbar. You can exclude them from the toolbar, so that they don't interfere with you.

To do this you have to enter Site Setup, find kupu-visual-editoramong Add-on Product Configuration, press on it. In the opened toolbar right-hand choose toolbar tab:

toolbar1

Options suggested allows you to customize Kupu toolbar according to your needs. You may choose Global button visibility that allows you to enter an expression to control the visibility of all buttons together. Go lower and you will find Button visibility:

button-visibility

Here you can select those items you want to be displayed on the Kupu toolbar or remove ticks from those you don't need.

Now let's, for example, remove ticks from:

  • decrease quote level button
  • increase quote level button
  • insert anchors button
  • subscript-button  
  • superscript-button   
  • text color-button   
  • background color-button
  • insert-table button
  • definition list button

Don't forget to save the changes. What we get in Kupu toolbar - is a descended customized toolbar without those buttons we've excluded:

toolbar-kupu-1

In case you need just several buttons you work with, let them be:

bold-button, italic-button, html and zoom buttons, there is no need for you to have a big toolbar with all the buttons. Then you have to remove all the ticks from the list (button visibility) except the ones needed. And a new toolbar is exactly what you need:

 

toolbar-kupu-2

Note:

  • there are some buttons that go together like Bold/Italic group, Subscript/Superscript group, that's why you have to select the group and each button separately. Otherwise buttons will not be visible on the tool bar. 
  • 'Styles pulldown' box has always be ticked, otherwise a Kupu error will emerge.
