Css Styles in WYSIWYG Editor

(Matt Webster) #1

Hi There,


Just wondering if anyone has experienced problems with the editor not providing CSS dropdowns, all though css class definitions have been placed in both the base parse file, direct child css file of the parse file.



It works on two designs in our system, but none of the others, and trying to work out what would be causing the problems??



Appreciate one of the tech guys responding if possible?

Generally we create a seperate css file that stores all the classes you want to appear in the wysiwyg. This css file just contains empty rules, you still define your css in your original css files:


wysiwyg.css:

.first {

}

.second {

}

.third {

}



I've noticed it sometimes ignores the first style in the list, and needs a new line after the opening bracket.



This is something that should probably be changed as it's a bit quirky, but you can get what you are after without putting development time into it.

I can't get the CSS styles to appear either in the New EES (using the eval VM 4.0.0 with the patched Phase 2 for 4 EES (thanks Scott Hall for that!)



I have a separate wysiwyg.css file that works fine in our current system!



how does matrix know which classes to use in the "Matrix Apply Style" or to use the wysiwyg.css classes?



I have been scouring the manuals to find out how to configure this to no avail.



Cheers Mat

Mat - did you ever get this working? I'm having the same problem now, my WYSIWYG doesn't show the css dropdown box at all, even though 'Matrix apply styles' is ticked in global preferences and I have an associated css with the styles that I've mapped correctly on the styles screen of the design.
Not sure what else I need to do?



Thanks,

Charlie.
