Example - Setting up Rich Text Editors¶

Let's take another table from the "examples" extension to look at how to set up a text with a RTE. The table "tx_examples_haiku" contains a column called "poem" on which we want to have the RTE. Its configuration looks like this:

     'poem' => array(
             'exclude' => 0,
             'label' => 'LLL:EXT:examples/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_examples_haiku.poem',
             'config' => array(
                     'type' => 'text',
                     'cols' => 40,
                     'rows' => 6,
                     'softref' => 'typolink_tag,images,email[subst],url',
             ),
             'defaultExtras' => 'richtext[]:rte_transform[mode=tx_examples_transformation-ts_css]'
     ),

Concentrate on just the highlighted line. This example contains no additional configuration (notice the empty square brackets), meaning the RTE will inherit from the TYPO3-wide configuration (as defined by Page and User TSconfig). This may look like this (depending on your local RTE configuration):
