Re: CKEditor and TinyMCE cannot click into the text

I guess the next thing to try would be to comment out the style.css in the style.config file of one of the affected skins to verify that it is caused by the artisteer css.

I might also try removing this from the layout.master to see if the javascript added by Artisteer is a factor:

<portal:SkinFolderScript ID="sfs1" runat="server" ScriptFileName="script.js"  />

I appreciate you taking the debugging steps since I don't have an installation where the problem happens.

Another thing that would be worth trying, we use the same css in the editor as in the page but there is a web.config setting that can specify an override url for editor css

You could put an empty css file in the root and point to that like this:

<add key="EditorCssUrlOverride" value="/emptycssfile.css"/>

If that solves it we can be sure it is caused by css and then we can try to narrow it down and override it in style-artisteeroverrides.css

To narrow it down one could go through style.css and start commenting things out until it is fixed and put things back until it breaks again, that approach should be able to find the specific part of the css that causes it.

Thanks,

Joe

Re: CKEditor and TinyMCE cannot click into the text

Interesting... with style.css removed, the problem persists.

And with "<portal:SkinFolderScript ID="sfs1" runat="server" ScriptFileName="script.js"  />"   (but style.css reactivated) the problem persists.

And with both of the above taken out together - same.

Now trying the editor css.... OK this fixes it <add key="EditorCssUrlOverride" value="/emptycssfile.css"/>

I'm not sure I have time for the next bit this evening... lots of work to do in prep for visiting clients in Scotland this week...  hope this helps a little, and I'll try to do more when I can. Any suggestion on where to focus efforts in style.css would be useful! Seems to be the rounded corners and fixed width content together.

Later... doh, it clearly isn't anything in style.css - must be one of the supporting css.

Re: CKEditor and TinyMCE cannot click into the text

I've tried commenting out style.css from style.config, and also commenting out all the .css lines & still get the problem.

Also tried commenting out that line from layout.master & no difference.

(for info, each time I made a change I also touched web.config & did see the formatting get affected on the website)

Re: CKEditor and TinyMCE cannot click into the text

Based on Crispin saying that Artisteer-30business1 works as expected but Artisteer-30verticalmenu1 does not, I'm thinking the place to look where these two differ.

Excluding png files, these differ:

layout.master

script.js

style-artisteer-overrides.css
style.config
style.css
style.ie6.css
style.ie7.css

styleforum.css
stylemojo.css

theme.skin

I think I've already bypassed all the .css files by commenting out all the working lines in style.config

so that leaves me with layout.master, script.js (which I think was effectively taken out too) and theme.skin to look into.

Though I'm not confident that my thinking is not flawed.

Re: CKEditor and TinyMCE cannot click into the text

now this isn't what I expected.

I basically see two issues with the html editor, issue1: in chrome the text is like one piece of text and you can use the right arrow to move from beginning to end, in ie each paragraph is like a seperate object. Issue 2: when I have a largish photo with text to its left, in chrome its displayed as I would expect in ie I don't see the text.

My first issue is - I think - the same issue Crispin sees.

I have renamed the artisteer-30verticalmenu1 folder and copied the 30business1 folder & contents in its place.

I still see issue 1 (which is the issue I was concentrating on in my earlier investigations). However I no longer see issue 2.

Does this mean my issue 1 is not the same issue that Crispin is having?

My issue2 is the biggest problem to me, so maybe I'll redo my investigation checking for that.

As a side note, I've also noticed I don't always get the system menu (with the login/register option) at first, but if I go to a couple of different pages it does appear and then stays.

Re: CKEditor and TinyMCE cannot click into the text

I was able to reproduce this problem on my local machine using the artisteer-30flashclouds skin in IE 9.

By process of elimination I boiled it down to this in the style-artiseeroverrides.css:

body.wysiwygeditor  p
{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
  font-size: 14px;
  margin: 12px 0;
  max-width:93%;
}

and by removing this:

max-width:93%;

it solved the problem.

Can you guys try this in your installations with the affected skins and see if it resolves the problem for you?

Thanks,

Joe

Re: CKEditor and TinyMCE cannot click into the text

I was not able to produce the problem on my machine in any of the other mentioned skins, they don't seem to have that max-width setting.

Best,

Joe

Re: CKEditor and TinyMCE cannot click into the text

Nice one Joe - removing that line fixes it for my site.

And I do have that line in at least three of the other skins I found to be affected.

Great - got it working here now too.

Seems that touching web.config was not enough to get the change through to the editor, but once I closed down ie and restarted it the changes came through.

Re: CKEditor and TinyMCE cannot click into the text

I'm finding there are significant variations in the standard skins between my installations, and this explains the differences I was finding between my Arvixe site and my sites on my company servers - the company ones do not have that line in any of the Artisteer skins, even flashclouds. If I add the "max-width:93%;" line I get the same problem.
