Text editors

Works great, thanks!

Adam

Is there any reason we can't include the main style sheets in there all the time?

    $stylesheetshtml = '';
    foreach ($CFG->stylesheets as $stylesheet) {
        $stylesheetshtml .= '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="'.$stylesheet.'" />'."\n";
    }

I'm also having trouble with styles.  I followed the instructions above (my added file is Writing101.css).  I returned to the resource, put in the html code (in text mode), switched to wysiwyg mode, and the page displayed as I had hoped (hooray).  But when I saved changes the styles were gone from the redisplayed page, and also missing when I ran the resource either as student or teacher.  But the styles apparently are not really gone: when I return to edit the resource, the display still looks great in the wysiwyg (escpecially if I use the full page option).  So I am puzzled: why does it find the styles in edit but not in run?  I presume I have left something out.

Thanks,

Jim Robertson.

I have tried the various suggestions above and have been able to get a <pre class="file"> tag working from the styles dropdown list. I did this by installing the patched htmlarea.php and specifying "File" : "<pre>#file" - the latter class being declared in mod/book/book_theme.css as follows:

pre .file
{
font-size: 1.3em;
color: black;
background-color: ivory;
background-image: none;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
}

However, I am having problems getting a custom <code> tag to work from the dropdown list. It is defined in my theme stylesheet as:

code
{
font-size: 1.3em;
background-color: maroon;
background-image: none;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-x-position: 0%;
background-y-position: 0%;
}

How do I declare this in htmlarea.php in order for it to be aplied to highlighted text via the styles dropdown list? It seems the HTML editor only works with <h1>, <h2>... <pre> and <p>. Yet I see a custom 'address' tag in the drop down as well as a <code> tag implemented in many other editors and forum interfaces.

Surely its not impossible to highlight, choose 'Code' from the dropdown and have my selected text styled <code>mytext</code> ?

I have applied the above technique/code to include my custom css file and also made changes in htmlarea.php below mentioned code block

   this.formatblock = {

        "":"", "Quotes":"p#quotes",

        "<?php echo $strheading ?> 1": "h1",

        "<?php echo $strheading ?> 2": "h2",

        "<?php echo $strheading ?> 3": "h3",

        "<?php echo $strheading ?> 4": "h4",

        "<?php echo $strheading ?> 5": "h5",

        "<?php echo $strheading ?> 6": "h6",

        "<?php echo $strnormal ?>": "p",

        "<?php echo $straddress ?>": "address",

        "<?php echo $strpreformatted ?>": "pre",

        "heading1_custom": "p#heading1_sohail",

        "heading2_custom": "div"

    };

 After applying these I can see my headings in editor drop down list but when select these styles does not make any difference.

My objective is to define some custom styles which user can apply straight away by selecting from drop down menu.

Any suggestions, what I am doing wrong?

Note: I am running moodle 1.9.8.

 

 

Hi Thomas,

you can change it in htmlarea.php - the function this.formatblock as follows:

this.formatblock = {
	"<?php echo $strheading ?> 1": "h1",
	"<?php echo $strheading ?> 2": "h2",
  [ ...etc... ]
	"Note": "div class=\"note\"",
	"Warning": "div class=\"warning\""
}

HTH

I have tried everything explained here but still unable to get/apply my custom styles from custom style sheet.

I can see my style in drop down list but when select those does not make any difference.

When I view source the page, I can't see my custom.css added in the header.

Anyone suggestions....
