Support/Comments for TinyMCE

I need to have file/media/image upload from the front end editor.

By default, if I apply a style (from the styles list) in TinyMCE, then it creates a <span class="blah">....</span>.

How can I create a <div class="blah"> .. </div> ? (ie without going to the HTML source..)

Cheers

I’ve got one I didn’t notice in this topic yet; TinyMCE is generating HTML 4 code, while my page is XHTML 1.0, both on the front and backend, it’s using the settings of my xconfig (XHTML elements), but it doesn’t automatically close tags like
’s but also generates things like ’<font color="red">bla</font>’, which is incorrect.

Honestly...this is not recommended right now.

The primary reason is that in doing so you would enable front-end users to see and possibly modify and/or delete any and all images, files, and directories in the resource browser for the site[...]

i have a problem when saving a tv from manager the value i imput dont save im using 9.5 and i reupload and renistall all modx and still happens.
Any sugestions?

As far as DIV’s are concerned...you can create layers (DIV’s) with the Layers plugin (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/tinymce/docs/plugin_layer.html). Make sure that it’s available as a plugin and button in your configuration.

As an added bit of advice, I personally don’t like the idea of allowing users to insert layers and other block level elements through an RTE. I would set those via a template.

Here is what I am *trying* to do... I want to incorporate some code-type segments that will contain SQL queries and the resulting output... here is an example, although most of them are much smaller ...

http://people.csse.uwa.edu.au/gordon/numbers-of-bases-data.html

I have "borrowed" the CSS for the .code class from these forums, so that I can do things like the automatic scroll bars, the monospace font and so on...

But the forums enclose any code segments inside

<div class="code">

// code here

</div>


Now, I cut-n-paste the SQL query and output into the document, then I select it all.... now I want to (easily) enclose the whole thing in a <div class="code">. If I use the "Styles" drop-down menu (I have previously added a "code" style in the manager) then it puts it into a <span class="code"> and then it doesn’t work... what happens is that each line gets enclosed in a border, each line of differing length gets a grey background and so on... presumably because <span> is an INLINE and not a BLOCK element.

So I just want a similar thing to make <div>s - I don’t think this is anything to do with layers (is it?)


One more question: how can I make the <div> variable width so that if the content is narrow, then the bounding box will shrink in width .. sometimes I just have a single column of data and want it to be nicely centred.. but the <div> seems to expand to fit the space available (yes, this is just a CSS query, not TinyMCE...)
