Hi, folks.
I’m experimenting with a standalone installation of XE3.1 and trying to increase the
control that users would have over the appearance of the pages they add.
I’d love to do this primarily with the WYSIWYG editor, since that would be the most
user-friendly avenue in my opinion. So I tried to add the “font” and “style” plugins and
then make the associated changes in the tool bar, but nothing I do seems to have any
effect on the WYSIWYG editor. When I leave the WYSIWYG Editor administration page and then
return, my changes are still there… they just don’t appear in the editor itself.
I’ve reviewed the WYSIWYG Editor Configuration page in the documentation, but nothing
there has helped me. I’ve even taken a look in the templates/macros.vm file, but could not
locate any of the lines the WYSIWYG Editor Configuration page said I should see.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

For enabling the font name and the font size you have to add "font" to
the list of plugins and add "fontname" and "fontsize" to the tool
bar.
For enabling custom styles you have to add "style" to the list of
plugins, "stylename" to the tool bar and then configure the styles at
the bottom of the configuration section. XWiki Enterprise doesn't
provide any default styles so you have to add some. The style name is a
CSS class name from your skin and the style label is the text that
appears in the styles list box on the WYSIWYG editor tool bar.
Don't forget to save after updating the configuration.
Hope this helps,
Marius
Thanks.

Thanks, Marius. I was able to get the changes to appear in the editor... that's
fantastic.
You mentioned that I would have to add some styles - what is the most efficient process to
do that? Can it be done from the global administration interface?
I really appreciate the help.

administration interface?

In order to add a new style to the "Styles" list box from the WYSIWYG
editor tool bar you have to:
(1) Define the style in your skin:
.important {
color: red;
font-size: larger;
}
I think the best option is to create a wiki page with a
StyleSheetExtension object that is applied to the entire wiki, I'm not a
skin expert though :) .
(2) Register the style in the WYSIWYG editor administration section:
Style name: important
Style label: Important
Inline style: whether the style should be applied only to the selected
text (true) or to the entire block of text (e.g. paragraph) that
contains the selected text (false)
Hope this helps,
Marius

Hi, Marius.
I created a StyleSheetExtension object called "MPStyle" and added a few style
definitions in there, then applied it to the entire wiki. I've listed the style
definitions below:
.title {
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
font-size:20.0pt;
text-align:center;
color:rgb(20,54,135);
}
.h1 {
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
font-size:17.0pt;
color:rgb(20,54,135);
}
.h2 {
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
font-size:14.0pt;
}
.body {
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
font-size:10.0pt
}
.cmd (
font-family:"Courier New","serif";
font-size:10.0pt;
color:rgb(202,20,6);
}
.important {
color: red;
font-size: larger;
}
I was then able to register the styles in the format you indicated. An example follows:
Style name: cmd
Style label: CommandLine
Inline style: true
Now all the styles show up in the WYSIWYG editor, which is wonderful. But they don't
seem to do anything. The title, h1, and h2 styles change the color/size of the text, but
the alignment change does not seem to apply. And the other styles don't seem to do
anything at all. Does the Style name field in the WYSIWYG editor configuration page need
to include the name of the StyleSheetExtension object as well?
Thanks,
John

If some of the styles are applied (e.g. color, font name, font size)
then the feature works fine. The issue is that some styles are used in
the wrong context. For instance text-align has effect only on block
level elements so you have to uncheck "Inline style" so that the style
is applied to the entire block (e.g. paragraph) and not just to the
selected text.
Hope this helps,
Marius

John

You've been a great help so far, Marius. I do have one last question that I've
just come across, though.
I have tried to go back and modify those styles in the WYSIWYG Editor Configuration page,
and I have attempted to add the "color" plugin as well. Yet when I click
"Save" to save my changes, the changes disappear and no updates are made. I am
logged in as Administrator and have stopped/restarted the application, yet nothing seems
to make a difference. I cannot add, modify, or delete anything in that page now, for some
reason. Any ideas?
John

As I've continued to explore this issue, I thought I should update with some
more information.
It seems that when I attempt to save changes, something DOES happen... the
version history increases and it says that I've "Imported from XAR."
However, nothing else has changed, and I have no idea why a process that
worked for me this morning stopped working in the afternoon. Hopefully, that
added information will help identify what the issue is.
Thanks,
John

Hi
Hi, Sergiu.
Can you explain to me where I'd need to go to check those logs? I'm a technical
writer trying to develop a document management system for my group, but my experience and
expertise is more on the document content side than it is on the highly technical side.
I'm trying to learn, but I'm still a novice in a lot of areas.
Thanks,
John
