[opencms-dev] Multiple stylesheets for structured content

[Matt Thomas]

Hi Christian,

Thank you for your thorough explanation.  I've used templates in the past with custom styles with no problem.  However, because the configuration for the HtmlWidget is specified in the xsd file, it appears that it requires you to provide the path to the .css file and the _styles.xml file directly in the xsd.  The formatselect option turns on or off the drop-down for header 1, header 2, etc. but does not include styles from the stylesheet.  To activate the styles drop-down, you must include the following attributes (this is from the wiki page you linked to, and works for me):

configuration="css:/system/modules/MODULE_NAME/resources/css/my.css,stylesxml:/system/modules/MODULE_NAME/resources/css/my.css_style.xml, ...

So, it appears that these need to be hardcoded into the xsd file.  Perhaps I am on the wrong track?  I'm trying to figure out a dynamic way to use different styles based on the template, but it seems that the two are defined differently.

Thanks again for your help.

Matt

normally, each template can have its own set of styles associated with it and you can make exactly these styles available in FCKEditor.

- First of all, each of your pages must of course have its template and/or template-elements property set to the path of a JSP template, for example /system/modules/my.site.module/templates/pagetemplate.jsp
- Secondly, the template JSP needs to have set ITS OWN "template" property to the the full opencms path of a .CSS file that can provide all the additional styles that should be usable by your editors, for example /sites/default/css/pagestyles.css
- Finally, there needs to be an XML file, that is called with the same name like your CSS file, yet with the additional suffix _styles.xml, for example /sites/default/css/pagestyles.css_styles.xml. This XML file must list all the styles out of your CSS file, that should be directly available for your editors through the editor's dropdown. See http://opencms-wiki.org/FCKEditor for an example of this XML file.
---------------
- Also, you need to activate the "styles" dropdown for the editor. This should be possible by adding the formatselect option to the Schema that describes this XML content type (see also http://opencms-wiki.org/HtmlWidget for an example of how to add this to your schema).

If this solves your problem, then maybe you can extend the two wiki-pages that I mentioned, so that they become a bit clearer.

Kind Regards
Christian
