products html editor

[zpupster]

hello support,

 

i have had oscommerce for a few days now. i watched a few tutorials, and in one i thought i saw a wysiwyg

html editor. i would like to get this for my product description text box, i have entered three products now

and it would come in handy. i have php4 and on ethat is simple to install.

 

anybody heard of this, do you use it and would you recommend it.

 

thanks,

There are three popular HTML editor contributions, any of which will do what you want: CKEditor, FCKEditor and TinyMCE. Click on the AddOns link above and search for each. Install instructions are included with each one.

thanks chris,

 

did not find that. but what i am referring to. is tiny mce there is a place that a styles labeled--

dropdown box--- but i can not get any styles to dropdown. where would i get the styles from. so i can use a style for my

product description. sorry if the question is naive. i am searching , youtube for tutorial and on the forums at tinymce.

have not found anything yet.

 

thanks,

found this

but i think this is an older version because i can not find tinyMCE.init

 

Finally, I found out. This is how to do it:

In the 'tinyMCE.init' add this or change it 'content_css'.

I changed mine to : "http://my_domain.com/my_subfolder/tinymcestyle.css", so now it reads:

content_css : "http://my_domain.com/my_subfolder/tinymcestyle.css",

I understand one might as well have a relative address like '../my_subfolder/tinymcestyle.css'. So it could read

content_css : "../my_subfolder/tinymcestyle.css"

 

thanks,

didn't work-

added a new style sheet http://mydomain.com/folder/styles.css-

and changed

tinymce init

 

 

content_css : "http://my_domain.com/folder/styles.css",

 

anyway there is answer somewhere. i saw people had problem with firefox, but mine does not work on any.

 

 

thanks,

 

craig

 

when i find the answer, i will come back and post it.

If you are using TinyMCE, be sure you use the TinyMCE Anywhere contribution.
