Styles from Style sheets not showing

Reply Quote

Hi all

I have the editor in a page that is styled using one set of style sheets. The editor itself is set to use another set. However, the actual styles don't show when using the editor - it just isn't WYSIWYG. Am I missing something fundamental here?

Thansk, Johnie

Johnie,

Please check this propery:

Editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss Property

Specifies the location of the style sheet that will be used by the editable area. Multiple Style Sheets are supported. Example EditorWysiwygModeCss="example.css,~/portal.css,/default.css"

Also make sure you set Editor.AutoParseClasses Property to true.

Hi Adam

Thanks for replying. I have set the Editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss property, but I did set the AutoParseClasses to false, as I don't want the users to be confused by the large number of irrelevant styles in the stylesheet. Rather I want them to use just headings etc to keep a consistent style.

Does AutoParseClasses need to be true for the styles to show in the editor panel while editing?

Thanks, Johnie

Johnie,

No. If you set AutoParseClasses to true, CuteEditor will parse the CSS classes from EditorWysiwygModeCss and populate all items into CssClass dropdown.

If you set AutoParseClasses to false, CuteEditor will populate css items from dropdown configuration file into CssClass dropdown.

How come when I do this (set Editor.AutoParseClasses = true), the custom dropdown I added no longer appears? I have a dropdown called ["styleSheet"] that I added to the dropdown ToolControls.

The Css Class list is populating the classes from my file, but my dropdown is gone!?

asiandreads,

Where does this come from?

Is that a custom button?

If so, can you pos the code?

Adam,

here it is. dropdown creation code is at the top, but included the rest just in case, rather than having to re-post later:

// create Tool Control for stylesheet dropdown

CuteEditor.RichDropDownList dropdown = new CuteEditor.RichDropDownList(Editor1);

dropdown.CssClass = "CuteEditorDropDown";

dropdown.Width = 80;

dropdown.ToolTip = "Select a Style Sheet for your page.";

CuteEditor.ToolControl toolctrl = new CuteEditor.ToolControl("styleSheet", dropdown);

// insert stylesheet dropdown

if (toolctrl != null)

{

Editor1.ToolControls.Insert(34, toolctrl);

dropdown.Items.Add("No Stylesheet");

// code to set up data reader here, but not included in my post....

while (reader.Read())

{

stylesheetID = reader["style_sheet_id"].ToString();

stylesheetName = reader["name"].ToString();

CuteEditor.RichListItem richitem = new CuteEditor.RichListItem(stylesheetName, stylesheetID);

dropdown.Items.Add(richitem);

// set current selected style sheet

if (_styleSheet.Equals(stylesheetName))

{

//if (stylesheetName.Contains("first style"))

dropdown.SelectedIndex = styleCount;

Editor1.EditorWysiwygModeCss = stylesheetPath;

}

Editor1.AutoParseClasses = true;

Editor1.EditorWysiwygModeCss = "~/robsdefault.css";
