How to toggle content editor off by default? Topic is solved

[gba]

Hello!

Wordpress remembers, if the content editor was toggled on or off during last edit and restores that on next edit.
In Joomla I need to manually toggle off the content editor each time I open i. e. an article for editing.

How can I make Joomla remember the last toggle state of the content editor, or at least have the content editor toggled off by default?

Kind regards,
Gerald

what exactly do you mean toggle the content editor on or off? Do you mean GUI editor mode vs code view mode?

You're asking this question in J3 > Coding forum. J3 is now an obsolete CMS.

Joomla 4 and Joomla 5 use updated versions of TinyMCE as the default editor maybe that will solve the issue?

Thank you for replying.
Yes, I mean GUI editor mode vs code view mode.
At least in Joomla 4 there is the same issue.

Why would you want to do that. There really should never be a need to even toggle the editor once

Hi!
This is easy to answer:
Some articles or modules need to be edited in code view, for some others the editor GUI is enough.
So, sometimes I edit the articles/modules in code view, sometimes not.
And it is effortful to always change the editor setting in the user profile to achieve the desired view.
Therefore Joomla (or the editor) should remember the last view state (GUI or code view).
How can I configure that?

If they do then typically you are using it wrong

You can't

Have you tried the JCE Editor?

One Click to change the mode.
There is also a pop-up to enter code in.

@per exactly the same as in tinymce

Hello!
Thank you for taking time.
I now solved the real problem (editor removing source code) in another way:
When I choose no text filter in the configuration, the editor does not remove code written manually.
Kind regards,
