How to define font size in a page

[warxsg]

Hi all,

I am pretty new about using GetSimple.
I noticed that it is not possible format the text using the editor, but I need to edit the page in HTML format.
This is a problem because I have a customer who needs to edit the pages of the site by hisself.
This customer has no knowledge about HTML.
Is there any good way to edit a page a format the text without using the HTML view?
Cheers.

Try using this plugin:

http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/tinymce/200/

It replaced the page editor with TinyMCE which should look something like this:
http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php

I personally haven't used the plugin... at least not recently. So I'm not quite sure that it has all the features but if it does then it seems like the perfect solution.

Good luck, let me know if this works.

I noticed that the plugin actually strips the TinyMCE default output. To do a quick workaround open up the "TinyMCEPlugin.php" file in the "PLUGIN" folder.

Go to line 273, it should read:

Code:

theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",

Press ENTER/RETURN to bring the line to line # 274. (DO NOT DELETE THIS).

Now enter this in line 273:

Code:

theme_advanced_buttons1 : "save,newdocument,|,bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,styleselect,formatselect,fontselect,fontsizeselect",

So now lines 273 and 274 of the file should look like this:

Code:

theme_advanced_buttons1 : "save,newdocument,|,bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,styleselect,formatselect,fontselect,fontsizeselect",                
                theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",

That should do it. Hope this works.

1) I moved this topic to "General questions" as this is the correct place for it

2) what is the problem you have with CKeditor? I need more precise information to help out, as your statement "that it is not possible format the text using the editor" is too vague

can it be possible that you forgot to activate the HTML-editor in the user-settings?????

3) first check whether "HTML-Editor" is activated before you start to install the TINYMCE-plugin as this plugin is not continued, not completely implemented and I had a lot of problems with that plugin when I tested it (even after de-activating it still deactivated the CKEditor and left a blank text field)

I think your problem is because of the setting in the user-profile

Connie, what he wants to do is use an WYSIWYG HTML Editor that allows you to change font-size as needed. Basically a drop down box allowing you to choose the font size.

I originally suggested TinyMCE but after trying it out further I noticed that it would take away from a lot of the functionality of GetSimple.

I would try tweaking the settings of the CKeditor to allow changing of the font size and font face. The CKEditor settings are under the folder: /admin/template/js/ckeditor/

There is absolutely no need to tweak the Editor, you only need to enable the advanced toolbar
