JCE Pro 2.9.70 released

UPDATE: JCE Pro 2.9.71 has been released to fix an error in the Captions dialog and with Joomla Media Fields not rendering correctly.

This update adds a new Custom Query option to Editor Profiles Setup in JCE Pro, a new Cleanup Mode option in the Clipboard parameters to simplify Paste cleanup configuration, and adds security improvements when embedding Iframes and Media elements.

In JCE Core, advanced options have been removed from the Style Select and Clipboard parameters, and the JCE Media Field now only supports images and links. JCE Pro keeps all advanced options and media support as before.

Profile Custom Query Option

A new Custom Query option has been added to the Setup tab in Editor Profiles. This feature allows profiles to be dynamically assigned based on POST or GET variables present during editing. For instance, profiles can be configured to activate for specific articles or categories identified by their ID, or adapt to particular views or layouts within an extension, providing flexible and context-sensitive editing

Clipboard Cleanup Mode

A new Cleanup Mode option has been added to the Clipboard parameters with 4 options in JCE Pro - Clean HTML, Keep Classes, Keep Styles and Custom. Custom is the default option in JCE Pro, and allows the user to set the Clipboard options as required. For the other options:

  • Clean HTML: Removes all non-essential HTML, ideal for content pasted from Office applications.
  • Keep Classes: Retains class attributes while removing other unnecessary HTML.
  • Keep Styles: Preserves style attributes along with classes (Office content only)
  • Custom (Default): Allows full customization of clipboard settings.

The Custom option is not available in JCE Core.

Media Security Improvements

  • Iframe Security: Implements the sandbox attribute by default to increase security. Trusted sources like YouTube and Vimeo receive optimized settings.
  • Restricted Media Tags: Enforces specific HTML tags for different media types (e.g., <video> for MP4, <audio> for MP3) to ensure appropriate embedding.
