Re: [zaba] WYSIWYG modifying standard h1, h2, formats

Hi,

To do this, you'll need to change 2 file. The first is cmsAdmin/lib/wysiwyg.css

In this file, you can place whatever css you want to match your site. So, for example, if you want to control all of the <ul>,<li>, and <a> tags in the editor, you would use:
ul{ }
li{}
a{}

adding whichever styles you wish.

Next, find the file cmsAdmin/lib/wysiwyg.php. First, rename this file to be wysiwyg_custom.php.
Next, open the file. Part way down the page, you'll see the following:
// Define buttons: Button codes: http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Control_reference
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "formatselect,fontsizeselect,bold,italic,underline,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,|,removeformat,fullscreen",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "forecolor,backcolor,|,link,unlink,anchor,|,hr,image,media,table,|,pastetext,pasteword,|,code,|,spellchecker",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : '',


Directly under "theme_advanced_buttons3 : '', put this line:
theme_advanced_blockformats : "p,h1,h2",

This limit the options in the formats to Paragraph, Header 1, and Header 2. You can add more to this line if you want more options to appear.

Give this a try and let me know if you run into any problems.

I have followed these directions and seem to have a problem. The editor looks fine (except that the dropdown does not sample the style) but the style selected does not show up in the page.
http://www.quality-aviation.com/cpms/index.php

.Blue_Titles { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: #0054D1; text-decoration: none
}

.Grey_Text { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #767676; text-decoration: none;
}


I added the "styleselect" to the appropriate line in the wysiwyg.php file

// Define buttons: Button codes: http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Control_reference
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "styleselect,fontsizeselect,bold,italic,underline,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,|,removeformat,fullscreen",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "forecolor,backcolor,|,link,unlink,anchor,|,hr,image,media,table,|,pastetext,pasteword,|,code,|,spellchecker",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : '',


Why is the style not ending up in the page?

Hi Michael,

I don't see your custom class styles in [url http://www.quality-aviation.com/cmsAdmin/lib/wysiwyg_custom.css]http://www.quality-aviation.com/cmsAdmin/lib/wysiwyg_custom.css[/url]. Can you verify that you don't have a second copy of that file somewhere else by mistake?

Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Chris

Hi, Jason. Is it possible to add additional options to the existing menus? For example, the Font size menu has options for sizes 1 through 7, with point sizes for each. I'd like to have additional options, if possible.

Also, what about having stylesheet options in an additional menu?

Thanks,
Nigel Gordijk

Hi Nigel,

You can override the defaults in the font size drop down from inside /lib/wysiwyg.php like this:

// set formats to show with formatselect
theme_advanced_blockformats : "p,address,pre,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,code,div",

// set formats to show with fontsizeselect
theme_advanced_font_sizes : "Big text=30px,Small text=small,My Text Size=.mytextsize",


You can set any label/value pairs that you want.

To be able to set different CSS classes, first you need to add styleselect to theme_advanced_bottons1:
// Define buttons: Button codes: http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:Control_reference
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "formatselect,fontsizeselect,styleselect,bold,italic,underline,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,|,removeformat,fullscreen",


You can then set different CSS rules inside /lib/wysiwyg.css that will show up in this list.

Hope this helps get you started.
