Hi Ryan!!
I set up JCE on a client custom development, and it was really useful for handling all hits "editorial" requests.

This is a custom component and we have several item categories (not Joomla categories, but ones from my custom component). The client wants to have different limit of words per category.

So let's say the user chooses category A, then the editor will have just 2500 words limit. For category B the limit of words will be 3000.

Category is chosen after page load so I guess the best way to handle this is JavaScript, but I could force a page load after category selection if we need to do it server side.

Is this possible?

Thanks!!

Thank you very much for your reply!!

I have tested this with browser console, but it doesn't seem to work:



Can you think of another way of replicating this behaviour? It would work just allowing me to load different profiles in the Joomla editor field for instance...

Ryan I have made it to change the character count, but still having some issues. I have created this JS method:

function fixWordCount(){
    var editor = tinymce.get('jform_work');
    editor.settings.wordcount_limit = 5;
    tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand('mceRemoveEditor',true, 'jform_work');
    tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand('mceAddEditor',true, 'jform_work');
}

That works fine. It basically reloads the editor and the new wordcount works. Problem I face now is that I cannot execute it on page load, because JCE is still not loaded and editor variable is undefined at that stage. Can you think of a way to handle this?

Thanks Ryan!! It works!! (almost). This is the final code that worked for me:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", (event) => {
    tinymce.onAddEditor.add(function (ed) {
        if (ed.activeEditor.id !== 'jform_work') {
            return;
        }
        ed.activeEditor.settings.wordcount_limit = 5;
    });
});

Thank you very much!!
