TinyMCE Problem

[mitch]

Hi,

I've just installed cmsimplexH 1.5.2 withTinyMCE Editor. I 'm just wondering that this editor does not display table background images. Big Problem for my site...

I tried to use FCK Editor which I used to use and liked before in XH 1.4. But without succes. I followed the installation instructions of FCK editor, but I thibk XH 1.5 is not really compatible...

Either I want to use the TinyMCE with didplayed backgrounds or I want to continue with FCK. I heared about CK editor... Is it already ready for cmsimple...

Could anybody help me?

Cheers,

Mitch

Hi Mitch,

indeed the editor interface changed with CMSimple_XH 1.5, so the "old" editors doesn't work anymore. But as alternative to FCK (its development has discontinued more than 3 years ago) CKEditor is available as plugin. Just install as usual for plugins, and change Settings->CMS->Editor->External to "ckeditor".

PS: I've just double checked the background-image issue with tinyMCE. It seems, that's a bug. If I create a new table and insert the image, the image is removed removed when the dialog is closed. But if I edit the already inserted table, I can add a background-image.

Perfect. Thanks for the fast reply...

Hi Mitch,

and then you can open a new thread: CKeditor problem

Both editors are using the stylesheet.css of the template. If there is nothing defined for tables, the table is naked in the editor.

At first you should define a table class in the stylesheet.css of your template (on top, above all other stuff):

Code: Select all

/* TABLES */

table.table_xyz {
width: 100%; 
background: #cde url(images/image.jpg);
border: 1px solid #666;
border-collapse: collapse;
}

table.table_xyz td {
border: 1px solid #666;
padding: 6px;

... (font-family, font-size ...)
}

And so on. The background image should be in the images folder of your template.

Then give the table that class "table_xyz" (only fill Columns and Rows and select the Class in the table dialog window and ignore the other fields), and you will have a css-styled table in the frontend and in the editor,

Hi Gerd,

no everythink works fine now... The table backgrounds were defined directly in the content.htm...

I was not talking about the template...

Hi Mitch,

now I undestand ... you are talking about an existing content, not new content.

Ok, but for new contents it may be the better way to define css classes in the template and use them in the content,

Hi Gert,

I assume Mitch is talking about the insert/edit table dialog, tab "Advanced"->Background image (has even a browse button). The result is an inline style="background-image:url(...)"

Unfortunately that does not work when the table is created, but only when it's edited afterwards.

Hi all,

I've just found one more strange behaviour regarding background image when inserting tables in FF (though not in Chrome): when I create a new table and set widht: 100, height: 100 and a background image, only width:100px makes it to the inline style. The height is removed!

Everything seems to be fine, if the table is inserted in HTML mode.

The reason for the behaviour: when inserting a background image through the filebrowser, the onchange event of the input is not triggered (what's standard behaviour). That's the same with hi_kcfinder and Ajaxfilemanager_XH. But MCImageManager has no problems.

A workaround: after selecting the background image with the filebrowser delete the ./ at the beginning. This should do the trick.

BTW: the thread should probably be moved to "Editors".

Hi,

would that http://cksource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=23607
be a solution for CKEditor?

Hi Holger,

the backgrounds plugin seems to work fine.
