Hi,
is there a button in the profile (editor layout) to add the markup for a custom field to the article text like {field 3} - or even better {field speciallink}
I know the editor-extended buttons underneath the article text. However, if I am not showing the buttons there, is it possible to add a field from the buttons (like bold, paragraph, link, image,...)?
Thanks
Sigrid

This will be available in JCE Pro 2.8.0, with a new "Joomla" button that creates a drop-down list of the editor-xtd buttons, in the editor toolbar. See the image below.

You can test this in JCE Pro 2.8.0 RC16 - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/editor/pro/development

In Editor Profiles -> Features & Layout, add the Joomla button to the editor toolbar. Once added, the buttons below the editor will not be loaded.

Please note that this requires that the editor has been initialised via the Joomla API, so in extensions where there is not done, eg: SP Page Builder, the buttons will not be available.

ah, that's a great feature!
I will definitely test it and later use in projects.
However, in this case it would be the yootheme editor and I guess it will not work.

Thanks anyways!

I have tested it with Yootheme Pro - which does load the buttons - and it works fine. You will however need to download the RC16 again and re-install, as I had to fix some issues with Yootheme z-index values - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/editor/pro/development/jce-pro-2-8-0-dev

Please clear your browser cache after install.

@semaphore - What do you mean by a custom field? Fields created with Content -> Fields are shown in the Fields tab when editing.

Sorry the editor-xtd button for fields was not enable :-/

Other question before I test : if I insert the code {field 3} for rendering the value of CF ID 3 in a template it will work and like this we can design full template using custom fields ? The only thing I can imagine as an issue it will any strip / clean of the template file / code.

I'm not sure what you are referring to here. This is not a JCE function or feature.
