Prevent "Red Title" showing in FCKEditor style drop down box

Posted June 21st, 2009 in FCKEditor

The style drop down box in FCKeditor has a number of default styles which can be overridden by specifying a custom fckstyles.xml file. However, "Red Title" remains there even if the XML styles file is replaced with a custom one.

This is shown in the example screenshot below:

Creating a cusom fckstyles.xml file and using that by specifying it in the configuration (see my post about how to do this) will remove everything from "Marker: Yellow" down but not the "Red Title", because it's specified in the default FCKEditor config, instead of in the XML file.

The easiest way to remove it is to add the following line to your own custom FCKeditor config file (more about that here):

FCKConfig.CustomStyles = { };

If you don't have a custom config file it can also be done in code on the server-side. The following is an example using PHP to show how to do this:

$oFCKeditor->Config["CustomStyles"] = "";

The code will be similar for other programming languages.
