JCE Editor No Styles

[Zorba]

Hi All,

I have got my site up and running with the Edugeek Joomla package 1.2 but as I have only just started thought I would start again using the Edugeek 1.5 version. For some reason there are no styles in the JCE Editor. Am I doing something wrong?

More info

It appears that the editor is Tiny MCE and try as I might I cannot change it to JCE. I have changed it in global configuration and set it as the default editor and in the user management option. When editing an article it is still the Tiny MCE.

Help!!!!!!

I just tried it on my test 1.5 site and it seemed to work.

On backend - went into site -global configuration - changed it to JCE - apply.

Switched to my front end window - clicked on a edit button - JCE came up.

PMing you logon just to prove it

PS Check out if configuration.php is being updated and see if the var editor line is being changed.

Back out of PM mode

And back to orig question - no - the JCE editor styles button does nothing on my site either.

Interesting that on your site, in global config, I couldn't select Tiny MCE as editor even if I wanted to - on mine i've got JCE,default and Tiny but on yours just JCE and default

For info, my site is based on downloaded EGJP 1.5.2 .

PS off to bed now

Hi Simon,

Thanks for having a look. I unpublished the other editors to see if this was causing a problem. Maybe Alone BFG will be along to help.

Have a good evening

Go in to the JCE configuration and select Use Template CSS = NO

In my case as I am using the eg default template :

Use Custom CSS File = templates/eg_default1.5/css/template_css.css

To remove the blue background follow these instructions:

How do I fix the JCE Editor background problem in the default template?
Instructions from SYSMAN_MK:

Make a copy of the template css file and rename it jce_css.css. Leave this file in the CSS folder of your template folder (i.e. templates/eg_default/css/jce_css.css)
Edit this new css file, and change the body tag with the following:

body{
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
background: #ffffff
text-align: center;
font-family: Verdana, Arial;
color: #000000;

Save the new file
Go to JCE Configuration in the JCE menu (backend admin)
Change the 'Template CSS Classes' setting to 'No'
In the 'Custom CSS Classes' type in the name of your new css file eg: templates/eg_default1.5/css/jce_css.css
Hit Save



I should have read the instructions for EGJP 1.0 again.

Hi I seem to have the same problem, I'm using 1.5.3 I have changed the settings in JCE config No don't use the default and use the custom file templates/eg_default1.5/css/template_css.css.

Has anyone managed to solve this issue?

I also have the JCE editor published but with no styles. Everything else seems to be working fine.

[SimpleSi]

I think you need a few things to get this working

1. Set Use Template CSS to No

2. change custom css to something like

templates/$template/css/template_css.css

(or wherever your main template file lives)


3. Save config.

4. If already in editor in another window - close it and re-open it otherwise it won't pick up on the changes to the JCE config.

5. And now for the real secret Click on the word Styles and not the arrow (once you've done this the first time in a session then the arrow works but not at the beginning)

Hope this works for you (i'm using the next version on of JCE from the one in early edugeek packages but I imagine its the clicking on the styles box thats your main problem

PS Haven't found much use for them even though I got it working , so if you can't - don't worry
