How to Make CKEditor (Almost) WYSIWYG
When using a custom theme, sometimes it is necessary to tell CKEditor to use the correct style.
Let us use the marinelli theme as an example.
By default, it is hard to create a page with CKEditor when using this theme: the background color used by the site and the editor font color are too similar. It is very hard to read anything, and the text is aligned to the center:
Fortunately, there is a way to tell CKEditor to appear just like you would expect.
Take a look at the source of the marinelli template (you may use Firefox with Firebug to do that). The ID of main element is primary. The class is named singlepage.
All you need to do is tell CKEditor to use these styles:
- Edit the CKEditor profile, in the CSS section choose the Use theme CSS option.
-
In the
modules/ckeditor/ckeditor.config.jsfile add the following code:
config.bodyClass = 'singlepage'; config.bodyId = 'primary';
- As a result, the body inside CKEditor gets the right ID.
-
However, the background is still wrong as is the text alignment. To fix this, add another line of code in the
ckeditor.config.jsfile:
Since lists also do not look nice by default, you can add some margin:config.extraCss += "body{background:#FFF;text-align:left;font-size:0.8em;}";
(see in Firebug how the styles for lists are defined in the marinelli theme to understand the problem)config.extraCss += "#primary ol, #primary ul{margin:10px 0 10px 25px;}";
- Remember to clear your browser cache after applying changes to JavaScript files.
Here is the final result:
Please note that necessary changes for the marinelli theme are already available in the ckeditor.config.js file. They can be taken as an example.
