Troubleshooting Ephox EditLive OEM Edition for IBM Lotus Web Content Management (WCM) version 6.1
MustGather: Ephox® EditLive! OEM Edition for IBM® Lotus Web Content Management (WCM) version 6.1
There are some really good notes in this document that can help you troubleshoot the Ephox editor. If you cannot resolve the issue yourself, you will likely be required to follow these instructions in order to get the appropriate for submitting a PMR to IBM.
Configuration
The configuration files for Ephox in WCM are in the war for the Authoring UI. Remember to keep a copy of configuration files in a different place if you edit them so that they do not get overwritten by installation updates (you'll have to put your changes back).
For the IBM version, the default is ibm_eljconfig.xml. (EditLive! looks for ephox.config.properties and that is where the pointer to ibm_eljconfig.xml is defined.)
The file typically exists here:
<portal profile>/installedApps/<node>/PA_WCM_Authoring_UI.ear/ilwwcm-authoring.war/res/editlivejava
Removing the Font drop-down
Commonly, you may wish to remove the font name and font size drop-downs from the editor to force users to use only CSS styles. That is done by commenting out the <toolbarComboBox name="face"> section and the <toolbarComboBox name="Size"> section as shown below:
Excluding certain CSS classes from the EditLive! Editor
To exclude certain CSS classes from showing up in the Ephox editor, add the line 'ephox-visible: false;' into the beginning of the style rule as shown in the example below:
How to debug changes.
To see what Ephox EditLive Editor is loading (the content of the configuration file) you can enable the console option in your JVM and in Ephox EditLive Editor.
To enable this option in your JVM, on Windows go to 'Control Panel --> JVM' and then go to the 'Advanced' tab, expand the Java console tree and select 'Show console'.
Then to enable the debugging option in the Ephox EditLive Editor go to a content item where you can see the editor and when the editor is loaded go to the 'Help' menu of the editor and select 'Enable Debug Logging'
