The JCE Aministration Comfiguration screen is where global configuration options for the Editor are set.

Global Configuration Options are those that apply to the editor regardless of other Group Parameters already set and affect all users.

The configuration options are divided into 5 setcions: Setup, Cleanup, Formatting, Advanced and Miscellaneous.

Setup

These options affect how the editor is loaded.

• GZip Compression - Turn this option on to enable Gzip Compression. This will compress all the editor's javascript files into a single gzip file decreasing loading times of the editor significantly. Note: This option will not function and subsequantly cause the editor to fail loading if zlib compression is already enabled on your server.

Cleanup

These options affect how the contents of the editor are cleaned and processed.

• Cleanup HTML - If set to Yes, the editor will remove all undeclared or non-html elements. In most circumstances this is best set to No.
• Entity Encoding - This option sets how entities/characters will be encoded.
  • Raw / UTF-8 - The default value. All characters will be stored in non-entity form except these XML default entities: & < > "
  • Named - Characters will be converted into named entities. For example, a non-breaking space could be encoded as  
  • Numeric - Characters will be converted into numeric entities. For example, a non-breaking space would be encoded as  
• Plugin Mode - This option is included to compensate for poorly designed 3rd party Joomla! Content plugins that don't consider encoded entities when processing content. The encoded entities & < > " will be converted into their character equivalents when saving.

Formatting

These options affect how content is formatted and visually styled.

• Force Container Element - Specifies how non block elements or text nodes are wrapped in block elements. Disabled by default, a recommended setting is Paragraph(p), which will cause all text nodes or non-block elements to be wrapped in paragraphs.
• Newlines - Specifies what happens when you press the Enter / Return key. Paragraphs(p) creates a new paragraph (use Shift+Enter to create a single linebreak), Linebreaks(br) creates a single linebreak.
• Editor Content Class - A class to be applied to the editor contents. High Contrast will force black text on a white background. Set to Custom to specify a custom class name.
• Custom Editor Content Class - Enter a custom class name if the Editor Content Class option is set to Custom.
• Use Template CSS - Select whether to use your site template css file to style the editor contents.
• Custom CSS File - Relative URL to a custom css file to use for editor content styling if Use Template CSS is set to No. The $template variable will be automatically replaced by your template name. In most cases only the last portion of the default URL, the css file name, needs to be replaced. This file name can also be a php file if supported by the template.
