apply only the webmaster styles

Simmetry · Simmetry

Hi to all.
Configuring a role to obligate using only the styles included in a file
is possible? In fact C3 inserts some awful inline CSS tags sometimes.
How can I make possible for a user to apply ONLY the styles that the I
want without inserting other inline styles or "align" attributes to
paragraphs and images? Expecialli when the user paste contents from
word or the browser.
Thanks to all in advance.

I'm uncertain whether this will address your larger issue of what happens when
content is pasted, but you can limit users to using styles contained within a
CSS file. Here's how:

1. Do Edit | Administer Websites, and select the web site in question.

2. The Administer Website dialog appears. Under Users and Roles, select the
role you wish to tailor, and click Edit Role Settings.

3. On the dialog that then appears, under Styles and Fonts, you can uncheck
several items, and also set it up to allow styles from a specific CSS file if
you wish.

Again, I'm not sure what this does for pasted content, as I've not tested that
personally, but hopefully the response is helpful.

I'm sorry, but the problem is another. The problem is that C3 creates
some some messy also with all the limits you told before. The only way
is to unable users apliyng styles. But I don't want to do it. I want
they can apply styles I made for them.

Simmetry,

One option that you might try is to define some of the styles to be hidden. So
for example, by adding mmhide to the style name it willbe hidden in Contribute
but visible in Dreamweaver.

.mystyle would become .mmhidemystyle

I think the problem is my bad english... :)

The problem is not to hide some of MY styles, but the problem is that
C3 applies his inline styles or tags. It creates messy code. I'd like
that C3 paste only text, and apply only my styles.

The html code must also be changed, in addtion to the css file, so that the
html tag reads (for example):

<body class="mmhideleftfade">

While css file reads .mmhideleftfade {color:#FFFFFF;}

There is an excellent discussion on this point in the Styles forum between
John and myself that explains how to create specific css classes but NOT show
them in the drop down menu in Contribute. I've found it extremely useful. One
caveat: I've not been able to get this to work when using css shortcuts. For
example:

.q1hide, .q2hide, .q3hide, .q4hide, .q5hide, .q6hide, .q7hide, .q8hide,
..q9hide, .q10hide, .q11hide, .q12hide, .q13hide, .q14hide, .q15hide, .q16hide,
..q17hide, .q18hide, .q19hide, .q20hide, .q21hide, .q22hide { DISPLAY: none }

will not work, you have to specify each style individually.

I recommend you read the posting regarding this wonderful trick in the Styles
section of the Contribute forum.

This can save the developor, and the Contribute users, a great deal of
frustration and errors by permitting alternate styles to be used by the
developer but not accessable by the Contribute users.

Good luck and enjoy!

AAAARGH!!!!
I know how to hide webaster styles (I use a more easy way than yours. I
can simple link 2 css files to a document. One called
"webmaster_styles.css" and another called "applicable_styles.css" and I
set C3 to permit appliyng only the styles in applicable_styles.css).

The problem is that C3 inserts some messy code! For instance: <img
src="image" stile="margin:0" />
Try to insert an image with C3. It asks to you if you want borders or
margins. The same with paragraphs!!!!!

Simmetry,

This can be defined in the Role settings in the Styles and Fonts category.
There is a pop-up at the top of the section that allows you to define this
option. You will want to set it to Don't allow user to create styles.

No, it's not. If you select to not allow user to CREATE styles, you
also not allow them to APPLY styles.
So this option should be renamed to NOT ALLOW USER TO APPLY AND CREATE
STYLES.

And my problem is not resolved.

Simmetry, calm down. We can get this fixed.

I think he's referring to the line break issue. Where Contribute automatically
inserts inline margin CSS, such as:

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">

Ever since Contribute 2, the program would insert this in order to "fix"
faluty rendering which sometimes would occur if the administrator used CSS to
alter the line-height of certain block level elements.

To disable this, go into the Admin panel. -> Administer web site -> Users &
Roles category -> (now for EVERY user) Edit Role Settings -> Editing (tab) ->
under "paragraph spacing" make sure -> "Two lines" is selected instead of just
one. -> Click "OK", then "Close".
