How to extend character limit in custom html module Joomla 3.x? - joomla

I've got a very long table that I need to use with a module. But when I paste the table into the custom HTML module, it limits the amount of characters and cuts the code short. I'm not using any editor.
Tried going to the DB, looked for _modules. Followed another suggestion to change Content type from "text" to "mediumtext", but it does not allow me to change it? From the content column, I can only change function or value, but not type. Any ideas?
Attached screenshot.

Try with one of these extensions : http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/coding-a-scripts-integration/custom-code-in-modules

Stop Magento/tinyMCE forcing object tag type

So iv been reading about peoples problems with tiny MCE "messing up" code. I understand it isn't, but I have a very minor problem that is become a major problem.
Im trying to add a simple object tag to one of my CMS pages. I need the object type to be "text/html" but whenever I save the page it converts this to "application/x-shockwave-flash"
I don't want to turn off the tinyMCE cleanup option as by the sounds of things this is a really bad thing to do.
So is there a way to stop it changing just the type attribute?
I have tried adding the code to a CMS widget and adding the widget to the page but this get the same altered result.
This thread (Object tag is not working) seems similar, but simply changing the type isn't working for me as it is automatically changing back to flash upon save.
The url i am trying to load looks like this...
(http://www.domain.com/animations/embed/one/o-t-t-d?player_width=100%&player_height=100%) I have been told that this will return flash if it is available or html if not.
Im assuming that because i'm saving the page on a PC with flash available its recognising and changing the type.
Any help appreciated.
You can edit the file js/mage/adminhtml/wysiwyg/tiny_mce/setup.js to make this happen.
Look for the settings array (around line 100). Add 'extended_valid_elements' there, like this;
var settings = {
...
extended_valid_elements: 'object[type]',
...
};
This way, TinyMCE will know the type attribute is valid and won't change it.

CKEditor and HTML in Xpages

I am understanding this better but still not there yet.
I have a notes document with a rich text field. I want to edit it in Xpages, so that the user can enter text for an email that an agent will generate. The idea is that the user should be able to enter styled text, hopefully including pasted graphics, and this is saved to the rich text field in such a way that a later agent can copy that field to the body of an email.
On the form I have checked the field "Store contents as HTML and MIME.
In the Xpage I have bound the CKEditor directly to the field (can bind it to a scope variable if necessary).
The code in my agent is as follows:
Set rtItmFrm = emlDoc.getFirstItem("Body")
Set rtItmTo = New NotesRichTextItem(mail,"Body")
Set rtItmTo = rtItmFrm.Copyitemtodocument(mail,"Body")
Any further suggestions on reading up on MIME/CKEditor etc would also be much appreciated.

=========================================================================
I just discovered how to modify the CKEditor in Xpages (the Rich Text Control). I have the full menu and one or two more things turned out. However, I am really puzzled by how it treats HTML. I would like to put a template for a nice HTML email (like a newsletter). Anything even a little complicated it munges and the output is messed up.
I read enough online to understand that it is not supposed to be a HTML editor, but I am really having trouble getting the results I want. I would love to put some basic skeleton HTML in there, but everything but the simplest code doesn't work.
Is there anyway to import HTML and it not get messed up using this editor?
as Per and Stephan said, Have a look at ACF filtering that is 'server side' (This is not related to CKEditor itself, but it is related to XPages).
If you have a look at the inputRichText control you will see 2 properties.
htmlFilter
htmlFilterIn
These properties determine how to filter Html on the way in to your data, and also on the way out.
This can be used to strip styling out, and also to prevent dangerous tags like some bad code here etc.
By Default the htmlFilter is set ACF (Active Content Filtering) if you look at the default rules, you will see it strips things like 'margin' out.
see /properties/acf-config.xml-sample
There is a filter called 'identity' which means don't filter anything, however beware if you use this you are not protected from and maliciously entered html.
You should look into defining your own set of rules for your ACF filter, this way you can choose which elements to remove. There is a section in Mastering XPages book about this.
If you still have any trouble, then there are some settings in CKEditor config which also control ACF (totally separate to XPages server side)
I don't think CKE changes the HTML, it is the writing back to a RT field.
Try and bind your RichText Editor to a scoped variable instead of a RichText field. This way you have access to the raw HTML and can use that to generate a MIME email. You might want to have a look at Mustache for mail merge.
Use this article series as starter how to prepare CK editor to make this possible.
And as Per mentioned: check the filtering.

Is it possible to change text directly in the code

I would like to know if there is a way to change text in the code instead of using the admin panel? I have Filezilla installed and can access my site/files from there.
If I use the inspect element in any browser, I can see an HTML structure, but as I have understood there is no HTML document in Magento, right? So where do I go if I want to make a change to a text element on my site and I don't want to use the admin panel?
Most of the text elements are handled by Magento's language translation system.
Quite often, you don't have to mess around hacking templates, just simply add a line to the translation CSV with the text string exactly as it appears, add a comma and then the new text string you want Magento to display.
For example, if you're working with US English, you can use the following file in your own custom template package as follows:
app/design/frontend/default/your_package/locale/en_US/translate.csv
Let's for example, change one of the window shade bar titles in the One Page Shopping Cart. Add a line to translate.csv as follows:
"Billing Information","Billing Address Information"
How this works, in the template the following line normally displays the title:
<?php echo $this->__('Billing Address') ?>
This code snippet $this->__('Billing Address') is a call to Magento's language translation system. It reads the translate.csv file finds Billing Address and changes it to Billing Address Information when it assembles the page html.
Lotta people out there have made changing text like this far harder than it has to be.
Hunting down the proper template, changing the text, finding the template got messed up, or trying to remember after the fact what was changed.
VS.
Changing a simple central file that contains all the text string translations... Often only by adding a new line to the file
Magento actually makes this very simple.
Thank you! So magento stores all text in .csv? or just the stuff that needs to be translated? I'm making a search for .csv via Filezilla but I only get two languages (the site is translated to multiple languages). Should I be looking somewhere else?

Problems with the maximum font size in TinyMCE editor on a Joomla website

I am using TinyMCE as editor on my Joomla website and I have a problem with the maximum font size.
When I insert some text into the TinyMCE editor I can change the font size but the maximum size seems to be: t (36pt), why?
I need to insert larger text into my pages. What can I do to fix?
Tnx
Andrea
There are many ways you could tackle this, but I would try one of these first:
You can change the dropdown font options using the theme_advanced_font_sizes option, in general, it is something like this:
tinyMCE.init({
...
theme_advanced_font_sizes : "10px,12px,14px,16px,24px"
});
For more info on this, look here.
Now, since you're using Joomla, you can try to pass your parameters in an array to the display editor call, like is explained in the official joomla documentation (keep in mind that you need to check this is one of the adjustable parameters) or you could also try to change the setting for the editor you're interested in by adding some javascript to a specific view, but I'm not sure it'll work. It should be something like: tinymce.get('editor_id').settings.theme_advanced_font_sizes="10px,12px,14px,16px,24px";.
Depending on what you want to do, you could also try using tinyMce indepently or duplicating the plugin with your own tweaks, so that it doesn't get overwritten when you update your site.
Don't do anything at all. You can control the appearance of any block by inserting css code directly, just use the code view.

how to disable tag validation in ckeditor?

CKeditor apparently automatically creates matching end tags when you enter a start tag. Is there a way to turn this behavior off?
I have a situation where I am creating two blocks of text in an admin program using CKeditor, then I'm using these to paint a page with the first block, some static content, and then the second block. Now I've got a case where I want to wrap the static content in a table. I was thinking, No problem, I'll just put the <table> tag in the first block and the </table> tag in the second block, and the static content will be inside the table. But no, CKeditor insists on closing the table tag in the first block.
In general, I can go to source mode and enter HTML directly, but CKeditor then decides to reformat my tagging. This seems to rather defeat the purpose of having a source mode. (I hate it when I tell the computer what I want and it tells me, No, you're wrong, I know better than you what you want!)
CKEditor produces valid HTML. Valid HTML has to include both - start and end tags. There's no way to change this behaviour without hacking editor. Note that even if you'll force editor to produce content without one of these tags it will then try to fix this and won't do this as you expect. E.g. load:
<p>foo</p></td></tr></table>
And you'll completely loose this table so only regexp based fix on data loading could help. In the opposite case:
<table><tr><td><p>foo</p>
You'll end up with paragraph wrapped with table, so it's better. But what if someone would remove this table from editor contents?
Therefore you should do this integration outside editor - prepend table to contents of one editor and append to contents of second one. You simply cannot force editor to work on partial HTML.
