Continuing Issues...

[Dirk]

I have been using CMSMS for about 2 weeks now.  My first hurdle was getting FCKeditor to properly upload the PATH to the images (to which myself and gianpiero figured out on our own - see http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,9582.0.html )

I am still having several issues though that I simply cannot overcome...
[1] Neither FCKEditor nor Xinha Editor will permit the use of horizontal rule.  If you try it in the editor testing page (where you set up the options for the editor itself) it works fine, but try and use it on a page content edit and it simply does not show up.  I read somewhere else on this forum that it may be due to the CSS stylesheets that have to do with accessibility or something similar.  Do I really have to change the style sheet to see these HR's?

[2] What is the purpose of the 'Browse Server' button in either FCKEditor or Xinha when you choose the image selection tool?  It opens a page under the current modal dialog box - but you cannot select anything - even closing the front dialog box and selecting an exisiting image link does absolutely nothing.  I am a bit bewildered - is this just so you can see what you have in your stored image location?

[3] I cannot get any FLASH to work.  It uploads it, says its there (placeholder on the page) but when viewing the page it just doesn't show up (kinda like number 1 above) - I don't have any flash blocked on my web browser and I've used this same flash on other web sites I created without an issue.  Its a very small .swf file.


Any help or supportive commentary would be greatly appreciated.

Update:  I fixed item 3 - folder "Flash" did not already exist in /uploads file system - created and set to 775 permissions and it now works.

For #1, will insert the visual equivalent of a horizontal rule, at least with the default stylesheets.

If you are using the HR in the "main" section you can change the CSS to allow it to show...

Thank you - is it possible to make this a button or "quick access" tool?  Only reason I am asking is I am placing CMSMS online for a client and showcasing it for several other people as well, they are all very inexperienced HTML users (thus why CMSMS is perfect for them!) and I want to shield them as much as possible from having to use any code whatsoever.  If this isn't possible then so be it.  I appreciate your response - this is a big help to me in any case.

I'm not a CSS / HTML programmer by no means... I do all the backend work - so can you please point me to an example of how to accomplish this?  Do I just remove the section on accessibility - or modify it - or what 

Thanks for your suggestion.

If you see a call for div.hr you can add '#main hr' to it or whatever div you are unable to get it to show in...

/* as we hid all hr for accessibility we create new hr with extra div element */
div.hr, #main hr {
  height: 1px;
  padding: 1em;
  border-bottom: 1px dotted black;
  margin: 1em;
}

Hi Mark,

I added that extra code into the stylesheet yet the hr still does not appear?

Thanks

Do you have a link?, it may be in a different div or you may be able to use a class to pick it out of the rest...
