Can't add additional Redactor plugins to Craft3 with custom config

[Teun87]

I'm using Craft CMS 3.0.0-RC13 and Redactor 2.7 (latest versions I could pull in with Composer).

I've added 3 extra JS plugins: clips, inlinestyle and specialchars. Everything is copied (JS/CSS) to the /config/redactor/plugins folder. Names are matching. For example: /config/redactor/plugins/specialchars.js

Afterwards I've set up a custom config "extended.json" in /config/redactor:

{
  "buttons": ["formatting", "bold", "italic", "unorderedlist", "orderedlist", "link", "image", "video"],
  "plugins": ["source", "fullscreen", "video", "clips", "inlinestyle", "specialchars"],
  "toolbarFixed": true,
}

The problem is, Craft seem to recognize them (when I spell the name of one plugin false on purpose, I get an error in Craft), but I can't get them visible as buttons.

Craft throws a Redactor is not defined error

Not sure if this helps, but I was just trying to add my own (basic) Redactor plugin and was also getting a Redactor is not defined error. I was using some example plugin code from Redactor's website but realised it was from v3 which I think Craft isn't using (yet?).

I looked at the other existing plugins and they're initialised jQuery-style, so this code worked for me:

(function($)
{
	$.Redactor.prototype.myPlugin = function()
	{
		return {
			langs: {
				en: {
					"myPlugin": "My Plugin"
				}
			},
			init: function()
			{
				console.log('Hello, world');
			}
		};
	};
})(jQuery);

I saw this as well while digging through the source code. I guess we'll have to thinker them on our own for now to make it work.

Gonna try to get limiter and counter to work so if anyone need it I can hook you up once I'm done. Not for now though :)

I have the same issue: did you guys figure out how to fix it in the short term?

Sorry @howells that's a no from me

Didn’t realize that Imperavi removed all the Redactor 2 plugins from their site when Redactor 3 launched. As of the next release, the plugin will come bundled with all of Imperavi’s Redactor 2 plugins.
