Description

Add a feature where, if allowed by the site administrator, users in a particular role may toggle FCKEditor for a particular field using a button or link right below the field, and the setting is remembered permanently.

In other words, consolidate to one click what would normally have been these clicks:

  1. Navigate to admin/settings/fckeditor.
  2. Edit the profile.
  3. Click Visibility settings.
  4. Add the field name to Selected fields or paths.
  5. Click Update profile.
  6. Repeat all of above steps for every other profile you want to edit.

This setting should go into some kind of master exclude table that is separate from the profiles table unless this setting was to only take effect to certain profiles, which would actually be OK, too.

As you add more and more modules, your field count can increase dramatically, and it can be cumbersome to follow the above steps each time you run across yet another field where FCKEditor shouldn't be activated.

This is definitely a good idea.
I'll try to add it in the next release.

Postponed to a later major version of the module.
