I usually use fckeditor not that I am that great modifying it either but.....

What I use a bit is a CSS class to do pull quotes, example http://jlogica.com/Links/AIP_Coupon


<span class=''pullquote">Text here</span>

It leaves the text in the paragraph but also does the nice quote.

What I want to do is add a button to the editor to enclose the select text in the tags and display it differently, just can't work out how to add it to the editor. Can see how to do huge changes but a simple little new class wrapper ..

Ta,
Larry

Hi, Larry -

CMSB is a wonderful tool - but I don't think we should expect it to do everything at the push of a button!

The look you seek to emulate is just basic CSS. You could achieve the same effect by wrapping your text in a <DIV> tag coupled to the right styles. All you need to do is compile the code and then save it to a text file. Next time you need it just paste it straight into your text and then modify as required.

Hi Larry

Thanks for posting!

CMS Builder does have the option to letting you choose styles for your text instead of using the font and size drop downs.

It runs on a separate stylesheet too so you can have styles in there specific to the content instead of all the styles for your whole site.

Have a read through this forum thread for more details on how to set that up:

Thanks had a browse, I did that mod from reading on the moxie site, problem is that it wants to do 'div' markups. Pull quotes are text that is inline and you put a <span> around it the inline is then duplicated out of line as one of those drop quote thingys.

Might be easier for me to replace the editor :)

Hi there.

Replacing the editor will likely be quite tricky but if you want to give it a shot, go right ahead. There won't be a whole lot I can do to help, but definitely keep me up to date with how you are making out. Thanks!
