Easy Div Entry

I want to make it easy for non-technical editors to create something like:



I created two chunks called "box-header" and "box-footer" so it becomes:



The problem is that TinyMCE adds paragraph tags around the chunks when they are added. Although this appears to display OK, I don’t like it.

Sure, I can tell users to set the format field to "format" when the chunks are added, but later editing may cause TinyMCE to add the paragraph tags back in again.

Are there any better solutions or ideas for doing something like this?

thanks, Andy

Well... I decided to use TinyMCE templates to insert the boxes. If there are any better ideas please post.

You don’t give the details of the situation, but usually you can put those formatting divs in your template and just have the user enter the content.

These are for blocks that the user can insert into a page, for example to highlight something. Their usage depends on the page content.

It’d be great to share how you did that with Tiny Templates. Those are honestly the right solution I think.

have a look at this thread -> http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,28908.0.html

Thanks. I wonder if that option can be added to the plugin configuration, rather than editing source code? Have to give it a try. In general adding paragraph tags around everything is quite annoying.
