page layout / template edit

[noftus]

i quite like the htmlarea utility.

how does one create tables without using this utility? BB code is unable to create tables.

htmlarea is also user friendly, for those users of phpwcms, who are not too technically literate.

please consider leaving htmlarea in, or providing an option for those who want it to remain!

many thanks!

I think it is much easier to use your favorite HTML editor to build tables - or use Excel for pure html table stuff. Inside phpwcms put the html snippet into an HTML content part.

I will prepare a simple table content part later.

I think the power of phpwcms is that it's also suitable for html nono's. I mean people with little or no experience with html editors. People who prefer to export their Word docs to html or so. For them the html area is a very easy to use feature. Maybe people on this forum are known with html and tables and stuff, but lots of people are not. I suggest: leave html area in!

And the argument of people distroying the format (look of the site) by using all kind of styles and typo's in the html area I would say: As an organisation (webmaster as admin and users as content managers) you can teach people to use only one set of fonts and some rules on how to use bold, color, etc.

Well this is the good thing with FCKeditor it let you make you ovn style and press one button (mark all) and then choose style, and the text is converted to the style your business want to use for content output

What do you mean frold?

1. make you ovn style? How?
2. press one button (mark all)... I don't see that button "mark all"
3. then choose style. Do you mean the dropdown box at the top-button-bar?

Cab you explain?

what browser and pc/mac do you have? are you sure you are seeing FCKeditor? else it should be very easy.... let me know and I will explain!!

Frold: this is what I see.



I had to insert my Microsoft Office cd-rom once to install some things...

[frold]

First I have to say it is the FCKeditor

1. make you ovn style? How?

Change the style in \include\inc_css\fck_editorarea.css

Code: Select all

.articleHead, .articleList_tophead, h1, h2 {
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 21px;
	font-family: "Arial Narrow", "Trebuchet MS",Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	text-decoration: none;
	line-height : 120%;
	color : #000000;
}

.articleSubHead, .articleList_topsubhead, h3, h4 {
	font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size: 17px;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: #6D7983;
	line-height: 110%;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
}
etc......

Change it to the css style you want to use.....

2. press one button (mark all)... I don't see that button "mark all"

Then press

3. then choose style. Do you mean the dropdown box at the top-button-bar?

and then choose the style you changes in "Stijl"

Hope you understand?

[Moozie]

OK thanks!

Code: Select all

Change the style in \include\inc_css\fck_editorarea.css 

Do you know what the difference is between fck_editorarea.css and the default.css you set in the admin menu? I mean what if you have both set. Will the fck_editorarea.css overrule the default.css?

And why are there 2 places to define css. I mean the default.css and teh fck_editorarea.css. It's a bit confusing to me. Do you know?

sry, you have to manual copy the css style from default.css to the fck_editorarea.cs....

The problem at the moment is that FCKarea need it own css file... as far as I know...

Too difficult for normal users - good thing maybe if it is finished.
