css styles and xmltext

Wednesday 03 March 2004 10:47:56 am

What do I need to do to use css styles in the different tags in the xml-textfields.

According to the online editor documentation I have to place the styles in the content.ini file. Knowing that you don't mess with the original files I created an content.ini.append in my settings directory and put the following lines there
[ul]
AvailableStyles=mystyle

but that didn't work. So I edited the original content.ini, and that didn't work either.
Does anyone know what I've done wrong?

Is it true that I can only use css styles for a few tags like <ol> <ul> <table> and so on?

What about the <p> tag? I need to be able to use css styles for them as well, what shall I do to make that happen.

I'm using version 3.3-3 now.

Trond, ultimately you can use CSS to style almost any tag you would like, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help.

Paul, The AvailableStyles was a typo, I copied the line above end edited the name of the classes, so that shouldn't be it. We're talking about the main content.ini file here right?

I thought maybe a bit more information could be in place.

We're building an e-learning portal for a local branch of Hydro, the oil company. They have to follow certain corporate design rules. So they have provided us with a their corporate stylesheet, so I need to make all my text follow this stylesheet.

So in order to achieve this I must edit the templates in content/datatype/view/ezxmltags so that they contain class="{$classification}". Then I must copy all of my stylenames from the corporate stylesheet into content.ini.

Is this the correct procedure? Or have I misunderstood totally.

Ok, can someone help me please.

I have copied the templates paragraph.tpl and ul.tpl from the standard design directory into my own design directory. I don't <b>have to</b> replicate the catalog structure from the standard design directory, do I?

the templates has been changed to

<p class="{$classification}"> <ul class="{$classification}">
{$content} and {$content}
</p> </ul>

in my content.ini.append I've put the following lines:

[ul]
AvailableClasses=coursedescription

[p]
AvailableClasses=body-main
AvailableClasses=header-sub
AvailableClasses=header-mid
AvailableClasses=img-caption

The funny (or frustrating depending on your view/mood/tiredness) thing is that I can use the [ul] styles, but not the [p] styles.

What have I done wrong? Do I need to change [p] into [paragraph]? (Although I think I've tried that too)
