Hi everyone,

I have now my rich text editor setup. But the problem is the font (size 1 by default) is too small for my application. I would like to change it to size 2 as default. I browsed the TinyMCE API, but could not find anything about how to change the font size. If someone knows how to do it, could you please help me on that?

Thank you!

Jingyi

I think you'll have to add a custom theme, or change the default.

Thanks for your reply and the link. I think changing the default theme should be easier in my case, but I still could not find the parameter that changes the default font size of the editor...

Anyhow, thank you!

indigodandelion, did you get it solved?

I took a look at changing the custom theme, but that's seems awfully complicated. Anybody get a simple solution?

thx

Are you talking about the font size within the editor's window?

If yes, then you can set custom css via content_css parameter. Just pass it along other tinymce_options, ie:
content_css: "/css/my_custom_css.css"

In your css file specify the desired font size for body element, ie:
body{font-size:1em}

Yes, I'm talking about the font size within the rich editor's window.

How to pass 2 options to tinymce_options?

I tried the following but I then don't get rich edit at all:

notes: { params: rich=true tinymce_options=height:200 content_css: "/css/my_tinymce_css.css" }


thx

You need comma after each tinymce_option, so:
notes: { params: rich=true tinymce_options=height:200, content_css: "/css/my_tinymce_css.css" }

thanks that works. I quoted the whole tinymce_options in double quotes as my 2nd attempt. Smile

Now the problem is that it doesn't have any effect. here is my .css file:

body{font-size:3em}


No matter what # I put there, the rich text editing font size is the same.

I looked at the .html file, but didn't find my .css mentioned anywhere.

any comments?

thx

Hmm, I think the way we pass 2 options to tinymce_options is wrong. I tried the following, ie only 1 option:

notes: { params: rich=true tinymce_options=content_css:"/myproj/css/my_tinymce.css" }


and finally see the font size get changed.

But again, no matter what # I put there in my .css file, the rich text editing font size is the same, which is way too large.

comments?

Strange, it works for me:
<?php echo object_textarea_tag($person, 'getBio', 'rich=true tinymce_options=width:500, height:500, content_css: "/css/tinymce_person.css"') ?>


Fragment of tinymce_person.css:
body {font-size:1em; line-height: 1.5em; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: left}

guess the syntax use in generator.yml is a bit different.

I finally get it working:

  notes: { params: rich=true tinymce_options=height:300,width:500,content_css:"/myproj/css/my_tinymce.css" }


In my_tinymce.css:

body{font-size:15px}


thanks for your help!!!

pezetgee,

thanks a lot for your help. Yes, I was unable to solve this problem quickly before, so jumped to other problems. Now this problem is solved so easily. Thank you!
