When editing in the rich text editor you can click on the
"insert special character" symbol.

This brings up a list of symbols to insert into your document.
Can this list be altered to add the below ?

ā ē ī ō ū

(in lower and upper case)

Hi Anrik

Assuming you are using a newer version of eZ and the new OE the special characters are defined in

extension/ezoe/design/standard/javascript/themes/ez/js/charmap.js

It appears you can simply add the additional characters to the <i>charmap</i> array.

You may want to try to override this file in your own design so you don't lose the changes in future upgrades (though I'm not 100% sure this will be possible)

Cheers
Bruce

The file is included from javascript by tinyMCE, so won't do much good in overriding it.
Seems like you either have to edit the file directly or I have to provide a way to extend it with settings.

What would you need? Append and perpend settings? (as in being able to perpend and append your own special charters to the list)

Hi,

Version: 4.0.6 (4.0.6)
Extensions: ezwebin , ezoe , ezfind

Probably dont need an override facility as there would be an alarm bell in place i.e. the users would start squawking :)

Will have a look at:
extension/ezoe/design/standard/javascript/themes/ez/js/charmap.js
and see if I can insert the Maori character at the start and maybe remove a few characters we would never use.

Thanks for the help
