Hello support,

JCE version 2.7.14
Joomla 3.9.10

I wonder if there is a way to restrict some parts or elements in a page from being edited? If I take the approach of a blog layout I can restrict some blog articles from being edited, but that's not what I want. Say you want to restrict some images in a page from being changed/edited or some parts of text from being edited, while other parts still can be edited, would that be possible with JCE?

I stumbled upon the plugin jce-editor-noneditable-master.zip, installed it successfully, it was activated, but the plugin doesn't show up in any editor profile -> Features & Layout -> Additional Features

Thanks in advance,
Factotum

There is a bug in 2.7.x which prevents the plugin from being displayed in Additional Features, but the NonEditable plugin is being integrated into JCE 2.8.0

A beta of 2.8.0 with NonEditable included will be released early next week.

Cool…

In the mean time,someone else on the net, pointed me into the direction of exploring the options of "Insert/Edit attributes" and low and behold, there was an option "Contenteditable" and a previous selected item could be set to "No". So far so good.

I wonder what the newly integrated NonEditable plugin might have to offer, but I'll wait and see…

Thanks for your amazing piece of software, 🙂

The difference is that the NonEditable plugin uses a classname to identify editable and non-editable fields, and the contenteditable attribute is only available when editing the content. You can also create editable areas within non-editable areas, eg: 

<div class="mceNonEditable">
    <p>This paragraph cannot be edited</p>
    <div class="mceEditable">
        <p>This paragraph can be edited</p>
    </div>
</div>
