Interface EditorConfigContributor

All Known Implementing Classes:
BaseEditorConfigContributor

public interface EditorConfigContributor
Provides an interface for setting the editor's configuration. Editor options can be set using EditorOptionsContributor.

Implementations of this interface are typically specific to a particular editor, since the configuration JSON object updated here can differ from those of other editors.

Implementations of this class must be OSGi components that are registered in the OSGi Registry.

The configuration can be targeted to specific editors, based on three criteria: portlet name, editor config key, and editor name. These criteria can be defined as OSGi properties with the following names:

  • javax.portlet.name: The portlet name. If specified, the configuration populated in the JSON object is applied to every editor used in that portlet.
  • editor.config.key: The key used to identify the editor (the input-editor taglib tag's configKey attribute value). If specified, the configuration populated in the JSON object is applied to every editor with the specified configKey.
  • editor.name: The name of the editor (the input-editor taglib tag's editorName attribute value: ckeditor, ckeditor_bbcode, alloyeditor, etc.). If specified, the configuration populated in the JSON object is applied to every editor with that name.

In case there's more than one configuration, they're prioritized by the following criteria combinations (the lower the criteria's number, the higher it's prioritized):

  1. portlet name, editor config key, editor name
  2. portlet name, editor config key
  3. editor config key, editor name
  4. portlet name, editor name
  5. editor config key
  6. portlet name
  7. editor name
  8. empty

If there are multiple configurations with the same criteria elements, they're prioritized by service rank.

  • Method Details

    • populateConfigJSONObject

      void populateConfigJSONObject(JSONObject jsonObject, Map<String,Object> inputEditorTaglibAttributes, ThemeDisplay themeDisplay, RequestBackedPortletURLFactory requestBackedPortletURLFactory)
      Updates the original configuration JSON object with some new configuration. It can even update or delete the original configuration, or any other configuration introduced by any other EditorConfigContributor.

      The configuration object contains the configuration to be directly used by the editor. The configuration JSON object might, therefore, differ from other editors.

      Parameters:
      jsonObject - the original JSON object composed of the entire configuration set by EditorConfigContributor modules
      inputEditorTaglibAttributes - the attributes specified to the input taglib tag that renders the editor
      themeDisplay - the theme display
