style sheet for style drop down (php version)

I am looking for the same thing (.net version)

I would like to link the styles to the external sheet using classes.

Hi,

Were you ever able to find the code for the style sheet drop down? I also am interested in this - it would help out a great deal.

I am using PHP as well.

Thanks

There are several different things you can do in the FCK editor that can be used for styles, so it depends on what you want to do. Here are some pointers I've determined:

1. You have to have some classes defined in a stylesheet, typically fck_editorarea.css


2. You have to define some things in fckstyles.xml


3. You have to clear your cache after every change you make


4. You have to experiment a lot


5. You have to decide whether you want the UI to apply inline styles or not


6. Sometimes it helps also to save and go back to edit mode again


7. Sometimes it is helpful to switch to code mode and back to HTML mode

I've managed to get FCK to apply styles inline more successfully. For example, put this in your fckstyles.xml:

   <Style name="Image on Right" element="img">
      <Attribute name="style" value="padding:5px;margin-left:5px" />
      <Attribute name="border" value="2" />
      <Attribute name="align" value="right" />
   </Style>

Then upload, clear cache and refresh. You should now be able to select an img, and apply the "Image on Right" style. The image should get a border and instantly float right in the editor UI. The code written by FCK looks like this:

     <img src="whatever.jpg" style="padding:5px;margin-left:5px;" border="2" align="right"/>
