T4 Blank BS5 Editor.CSS in Local Folder Not Working

kars

Hello,

We have added a custom editor.css file so that our custom classes can be applied in content. Everything works when placing editor.css inside the core template css folder - but this of course is lost on update.

We tried copying to the local/CSS folder though it has no effect / does not work.

Please advise, thanks!

Hi
If the file is not part of the template file , it would not be override in the template updates.
I suggest you to use custom css option in the template that always work.
Local folder work when u have the css file in the css folder first. Local is an override folder.

Thanks Pankaj,

Not sure why we lost the file in updating. Anyhow, we cannot use custom.css. You have to have a file named editor.css. TinyMCE looks for this file for custom classes that will appear in editor.

Kindly share file path.
As there is no file came in the template folder /css/editor css from our side.
The editor use own css code if it is backend you have to add it in Joomla admin template instead. as T4 blank work for frontend part.

Hi Pankaj,

I completely understand that T4 template is for the front-end. Let me then explain something new. You take the editor.css file from Joomla 4 Cassiopeia template css folder and copy it into templates/t4_bs5_blank/css folder.

Any new classes you make or modify in editor.css will show in the TinyMCE editor as classes from the drop down - like in my image above. TinyMCE editor has a function to look for editor.css in front-end template folder - which will override the core Joomla.

Generally we will just add the class name to editor.css and use something like inherit. Just so it is there. This will generate selection in TinyMCE. Then, you can use custom.css to style this class - so your custom CSS is in one place for editing.

No modifications to admin template are needed. Just need to make sure this editor.css file does not get removed when updating T4 Blank.

Note: This works in Joomla 3 also.

Hi
I know the override files work, that is not issue for any template.
When u update the template if the file is not part of update it would not be override since there is no file in new updates.
You can do a try for the same even installing same version of template as it work as override on files.
