CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi Everyone! First post here for me.

I've installed CMSMS on a charity website I've just started look after to replace the flat HTML they have currently, so they can post content themselves. It's my first time using CMSMS, and I'm very impressed. I've managed to get my head around pretty much everything now, and customised many things to suit the site.

However, I'm really stuck working out how to edit the FORMAT entries in tinymce, despite a few hours solid searching last night. I found some articles on the tinymce forum, but it seems that it's been reconfigured for CMSMS, and I can't find the .init file that's mentioned in any of those articles. I'm guessing there's a more elegant way in CMSMS anyway? I had a look through the configuration menus, but I can only find how to set which options are displayed (heading, div, paragraph etc), and not how to modify their actual styles. Have I missed something glaringly obvious, or just not stumbled across the correct search wording?

Many thanks

I am not sure what you are asking exactly... but I'll give it a shot.

The styles that are reflected when you apply the content changes are pulled from your Site's stylesheets/CSS. Tiny simply wraps your text with the proper HTML code. How that code is interpreted and styled is dictated by the stylesheets.

And if you are setting specific classes in your style sheet to p, h1, h2, a, etc. then they should show up under the styles drop down to be used where you want...

Thanks guys. It seems that something isn't working on my site then, as none of the heading styles appear in the styles dropdown. There are a load of entries in there, but most of them are css elements used to position divs for graphics and suchlike.
The dropdown next to it which says 'paragraph' by default contains Heading 1, Heading 2 etc, however, but these don't seem to relate to what's in the stylesheet.
I'm a bit confuzzled :S

If the style sheet attached to the page template has h1.red {color:red} or some such style call you should see red in the styles drop down, it only takes classes not IDs...

So to make an h1 red you would use format, h1, on it then add style, red, to it...
