TinyMCE don't show my lists bullets and numbers

Post by narbe »

Hello,

When using TinyMCE on a recently installed web site, it don't display bullets for unordered lists, or numbers for ordered lists. I don't understand where is the setting to do that... (I have another web site, with FCKeditorX, and it works, and don't remenber to do anything for that...).

Thanks
Pierre M.

Hello,

do you use a supported admin browser ?
TinyMCE's toolbar can be customized. See its settings.

Hi,

I'm getting the same problem with both TinyMCE and FCKeditorX.  I'm using CMS 1.2.3. How come I can't see the bullets in the editor.  It's there in the source, but in the WYSIWYG view it's not.

Any help....this is driving me crazy. :-\

Thanks,
Pierre M.

Hello wms,

please first upgrade to latest official stable (today 1.2.4). Then tell us which supported admin browsers you have tried. Then tell us what are your TinyMCE settings (global prefs, user prefs, toolbars, stylesheets...)

I'm not a wysiwyg expert but others are and they need these detailed informations to help you.

I've upgraded to version 1.2.4. and I still not see any bullets in the default in FCKeditorX (latest stable version with just default values).

Any ideas on how to see bullets in the editor.  I have no problem doing it in HTML, but my client who calls HTML "computer speak" has difficulty ;)

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Pierre M.

What about using TinyMCE (v2.2.7) on CMSms 1.2.4 ? It is the standard wysiwyg of the 1.2.x releases.

Yeah same thing.  I've tried a couple of editors now.  It's very weird. I get this on other sites that I've done as well.  I simply do not see any bullets.

I agree.
What about trying other browsers installations on others client computers ? Then please report (un)working combinaisons : CMSms version, wysiwyg module version, browser+OS, result...

I am having the same problem. TinyMCE does not show 'lists'.

CMSMS default's to setting list styles associated with the 'main' div, ie:

Code: Select all

div#main ul,
div#main ol,
div#main dl {
   font-size: 1.0em;
   line-height:1.4em;
   margin: 0 0 1.5em 0;
}

div#main ul li,
div#main ol li {
   margin: 0 0 0.25em 3em;
}
I have noted that by defining these as global CSS styles so that:

Code: Select all

ul, ol, dl {
   font-size: 1.0em;
   line-height:1.4em;
   margin: 0 0 1.5em 0;
}

ul li,ol li {
   margin: 0 0 0.25em 3em;
}
Then list's show up just fine in TinyMCE, and exactly as expected. However a new problem arrises with this solution... all my menu's go completely crazy since they use list's. What one needs to do is then define settings such as margin:0; padding:0, line-height: 1em; etc.. to the Navigation CSS styles.

Thanks for the reply...but I see what you mean about the menus.  What's the trade off....hmmmm.  Did anyone else have an idea?

Thanks again for your help.

I've tried this solution on two different computers.  The last version of CMSMS is being used (1.2.4.).  I've tried it with the latest staple versions of both TinyMCE and FCKeditorX.

I've used the following browsers:  FF 2, IE6, & IE7.

I get the same results everytime.  No bullets appearing in the editors.  This makes it hard for the lay-person to edit.  I'm fine editing list in HTML, but my clients are not.

This is very puzzling ???

It could help the TinyMCE module integrator dev if you state clearly what the versions are. With plain CMSms 1.2.4 in Extensions>Modules I see TinyMCE 2.2.7.

I've just tried bulleted and numbered lists with this combinaison : works here.
