Hi, I’ve 2 questions about the post editing. 

1 – When I click on “Add Reply” or “Quote” then I’ll get the editor with all options already unfolded while yours is collapsed. I would like to have this collapsed. On my test platform I had this to and I copied all from the test platform. Only difference is the ammount of Smileys. Is that the reason for this? See attachments for examples.

2 – When I “Quote” on a post I get the text area like the attachment of my forum. The quoted message doesn’t has a border or something. This confused the writer which mess up the text. How can I get it like you have with the quoted message in the blockquote ballon. See attachements for examples.

Thanks for helping.blockquote-my-forum.pngblockquote-simple-press-forum.png

  1. Go to the forum admin > options > global display options – and turn on the option to use the ‘Integrated Editor Options Toolbar’.
  2. This will be the styling being applied by the SP theme – or – the styling of your WP theme is overriding the SP styling. Take a look in your SP theme stylesheet (you can use the themes > template editor for this) at the style rules for #spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostSection .spPostContentSection .spPostContent blockquote (just search on blockquote – I think this is the only entry). Either that needs changing or – as I say – your Wp theme is hammering SP with a global override. Firebug or a browser inspector will tell you of course.

As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/)

Thanks for your answer.

Topic 1: is solved. Great.

Topic 2:

I’ve removed all css blockquote settings in my WP Theme to be sure that this isn’t overriding the style. But this didn’t help. I had a look into the stylesheet. I use a copy of the stacked theme and overlay Ice (see for a example at my forum http://www.beursklets.nl/forum/beursklets-nl-forum/day-trading/).

In the CSS code is writen below code, nothing was change so if this is a standard setting then it’s strange. It happens only using the editor. When it’s plublished the blockquote get;s his style.

#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostSection .spPostContentSection .spPostContent blockquote {
 overflow: hidden;
 background: <?php echo($alt4BackGround); ?>;
 color: <?php echo($alt4Color); ?>;
 border: <?php echo($alt4Border); ?>;
 margin: 0 0 1em;
 padding: 1em 1em 0 1em;
 <?php echo($smallRadius); ?>
 font-weight: <?php echo($mainFontWeight); ?>;
}

you want the background in the editor when creating the post?  by default tinymce does not apply that kind of styling…  you will need to have your own content.css in the styles folder to tell tinymce what you want to do… we have that here…

I will attach ours and you can edit it…

why dont we include one with our themes?  because its theme wide and would apply to all overlays…  and we would probably get more questions about it not matching the overlay… ;)
