Set editing area styles in fckconfig.js

[Robby.Klehm@…]

This time the default font (after FCKEditor startet) may to be set in

editor/css/fck_editorarea.css: body, td {

font-family: 'Courier New', Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px;

}

In order to integrate FCKEditor without changes in its code we like to set all configurations in one file. Calling one FCKEditor from php we are using the $oFCKeditor->ConfigCustomConfigurationsPath? option overlaying the parameters.

Could you implement an option to set default font within this config file?

I'm changing this ticket to make it broader. Actually, it would be nice to set any style in the editing area using a configuration option, named "EditorAreaStyles". So one could use it like:

FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles = 'body, td { font-family: 'Courier New', Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px;} .SomeStyle { color: Red; }' ;

It should not override the FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS behavior, but add a specific <style> tag right after it.

If there's already the FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS option, why do we need to add more complexity with another configuration option?

Suggested invalid.

Replying to alfonsoml:

FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS will still be there. FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles would be added as a further option, completely optional.

This is not the first time I hear a request like this. Actually, it seams that on many CMSs, users are able to control styles by using a control panel. They are able to edit the styles using a admin page, or even switch between styles. I remember also of cases where each user may have a custom style, or even different styles per page, depending on templates selection and so on. Well, we could imagine hundreds of situations.

Actually I don't expect this config to be used that much in the fckconfig.js file, but it could be largely used inline on pages when creating a editor instance.

Of course, for other users it may has no value, but FCKeditor is well know for its flexibility too (and this feature would not bring a huge impact in the code, I think).

The "FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles" configuration entry is implemented in [411] and [412].

This has broken loading the editor in Safari.

It gives an error:

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: DOM Exception 7
http://localhost/FCKDev/editor/_source/internals/fcktools_gecko.js

pointing to

	var e = documentElement.createElement( "STYLE" ) ;
->	e.innerHTML = cssStyles ;

Thanks for the report.

I've changed the offending line from

e.innerHTML = ...

to

e.appendChild(documentElement.createTextNode(...));

in change set [422]. It should be working fine on Firefox, Opera, Safari and IE now.
