[ARCHIVED] Can the back-end of Canvas Catalog be modified

[greg_lawrence]

Hi. Me again

Another question about Catalog. 

Can the backend of Canvas Catalog be modified? Not sure if it's open-source and if third-party back-end developers can get in and modify it.  We are wanting to modify the rich text editor for the course description we can add images and H1, H2 and h3 headings.

One option I am thinking about is added a TinyMice Javascript plugin to provide access to a rich texter editor in Catalog. Has anyone done that?

Cheers

We have only experience using HTML/CSS code for customizing in the rich text editor.

It looks like the 'wysihtml5-toolbar' in Catalog can be tweaked with some coding to add additional command buttons to create branded H1 headings etc. I will probably need to do this at some point so I can upload external images with it (see below).

However, it might take some time to develop and it's not a critical thing for what I am doing ATM so I am going to put it on the backburner for now. 

Cheers

Greg
