How change any thing on body text?

[franciccio-ITALIANO]

Hi, 

I see that the PW text-editor is poor.

I can't change color and align of the text.

I can it by code, but for example when I put  <p style="color:red;">This is a paragraph.</p>

the PW text-editor remove all!

Someone may help me? :/

It is not a "PW text editor", it is the "CK-Editor". Please follow the given links in the editorfields configuration screens to all those documentations of the CK-Editor.

Hello @franciccio-ITALIANO,

the CKEditor is not poor, you just have to read the instructions. 

There are plugins available for color and align.

In case of the color, in my opinion, I find the default behavior of stripping out inline styles preferable and much cleaner to define your own styles.

mmm ok thank but I don't find the instructions for change color and text align. Is that in this page? I must study all this page? http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide

I prefear to use CKeditor less plugin for change color and align... but perahops is more simple to add the plugin?

[LostKobrakai]

CKEditor is meant to be composed with different plugins, so the core is as small as possible, while people can add the things they need without the overhead of things they don't need.

mmm ok LKK, but if I put a lot of addon, then the site became more slow? :/

If you feel you are starting to struggle with CKEditor, you might want to use Repeater Matrix instead. As Ryan puts it: "One use case for a Repeater Matrix is as an alternative to a rich text editor for those cases where you want more fine-grained developer control."

I often (have to) customize the Style drop-down list in CKEditor.

The styles applied can add classes to elements, like p for example. So these classes already exist if you are using a framework and/or you can add your own css rules, and you can add colors, align to the right, justify, etc.

You can see some summarized information here:

Sorry for being unclear, I have meant the instructions on the textarea field input tab.

In my opinion, styling of colors or alignment should be handled via an separate css file or the custom styles section of CKEditor. The custom styles would probably be enough for you and shouldn't slow down the CKEditor too much.

Francicio, my opinion would not differ from the rest here. I have always thought that a good editor should have everything in it (color changes, anchors, and all the cool features), however I came to the conclusion that I am losing control over the content and if for some reason I decide to switch to another editor, then some or all of the codes, styles etc. might break and cause big headaches. That is why I am trying to type most of the commands manually, type the stylings manually and define them in separate CSS (depending on the case) so the code is clear having just the styles call and the rest is done by CSS.

In your case the code become much easier to read:  <p class="blablabla" ; >This is a paragraph.</p>

And in CSS you add the desired styling to .blablabla {....} Adding code inline would require you to change it on every instance once you change your mind for the appearance and in some cases having 10-20K of pages might be the worst nightmare. Having to change a few CSS lines of the .blablabla would be the cool and easy fix

Hi, 

exuse me I'm italian e I don'able to explain my problem.

My probem is:

1. How can I change the color of 1 word into the text? I can do it only by addon?
2. How can I change the align of 1 row into the text? I can do it only by addon?

For change the style of all document I use CSS, but I cant'use CSS per change the color of 1 word or the alignment of 1 row.

I don't know how to install addon of CKeditor into processwire. There is a guide for processwire?

I don't Know if is possible to put a blank row, a empty space, because CKeditor clean all and remove the empty row, but I need blank row.

With Repeater Matrix the site became more slowly?

 

Thanks!

I think you are much better off defining distinct "styles" for Ckeditor rather than allowing full manipulation - if you give editors free reign to change colors, you're likely to end up with a really ugly site.

You can read more about setting up styles here: https://github.com/processwire/processwire/blob/dev/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldCKEditor/README.md#custom-editor-css-file

...sure, I would like change colour of 1 word by Editor Panel rather that css doc. 

BUT, how can I install addon to CKEditor? There is a guide for in processwire?

 

Thankk you very much!
