Hi - JCE editor 2.5.2 is driving me mad by rewriting my html when I toggle from code to normal view.
I've turned off everything I can find and it's still doing it
I'm running J 3.4.3
Anyone any idea what I'm missing?
Thanks
Ian

Hi Ian,

What html are you adding?

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul - thanks for getting back to me.

The site is www.bizzybounce.co.uk/newsite. On the home page there are nine rectangles, each one linking to a different range of products.

The code I'm using (which works) is:

<p><img src="images/Adultrockstar-1.jpg" alt="Adult rockstar bouncy castle" /></p>
<a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=116&Itemid=424">
<div class="moreinfo">More info</div></a>

And JCE is changing it to this, which doesn't work:

<p><img src="images/Adultrockstar-1.jpg" alt="Adult rockstar bouncy castle" /></p>
<p><a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=116&Itemid=424"></a></p>
<div class="moreinfo"><a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=116&Itemid=424">More info</a></div>
<p> </p>

It's probably my lousy html!

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

Try adding the link inside the div rather than outside

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul - this looks more elegant, but it doesn't work:

<p><img src="images/Adultrockstar-1.jpg" alt="Adult rockstar bouncy castle" /></p>
<div class="moreinfo"><a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=116&Itemid=424">More info</a></div>

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks

Ian

How about

<div class="moreinfo">
<p><img src="images/Adultrockstar-1.jpg" alt="Adult rockstar bouncy castle" /></p>
<a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=116&Itemid=424">More info</a></div>

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul - I've tried that one, but no joy,

This is the result:

Look at bouncy castles top left…

Thanks for getting back to me,

Ian

How about toggle the editor off and

<div class="moreinfo">
<img src="images/Adultrockstar-1.jpg" alt="Adult rockstar bouncy castle" />
<a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=116&Itemid=424">More info</a></div>

If you re-open the page with JCE it will add the p tag back - sometimes I disable the parent container option in JCE config

Although that does depend if the end user will edit the content and I work in the html editor rather the normal view

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul - I'm afraid this still doesn't work, so I've reverted to my original.

I've set 'no container and paragraph on enter' in global config - that was what I was looking for - which stops JCE rewriting stuff. Thanks for that.

Nobody else works on the site, only me. Is there any disadvantage in leaving this setting as it is now?

Thanks

Ian

No its advantage if you work in the html editor (for me anyway) - you may come a cropper if you use the interface screen to add text content as no container will be added automatically

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul - thanks for this.

I wonder if you can give me some advice. The product pages on this site are not happy.

www.bizzybounce.co.uk/newsite/index.php/castles/22-bouncy-castles/140-circus-12x12

I've got the product details and slideshow wrapped in divs but it seems very heath robinson and a bit dull to me.

Any suggestions as to how I could make the mechanics a bit more elegant?

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

I would suggest adding more images to the slideshow

At the moment it looks a bit odd flashing through 3 images the same

Cheers
Paul

The page also looks a bit unbalanced with the content shorter than the sidebar - I'd be tempted to add a pic below the text of kids jumping around looking happy

The background of the pic removed so its just the kids

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul - thanks for getting back to me.

I know the slideshow looks odd - they're only holding pics - we haven't decided on the ones we're going to use yet

And a good idea about the pic below the text, I will do that or something like it. Another pair of eyes always helps.

However, it was the actual mechanics of the page I'm worrying about. Is there a better way to lay it out than the two divs? A table perhaps?

Thanks again

Ian

And it's the logos down the side making the sidebar too long. I'm thinking of making them smaller and running them horizontally across the bottom...

The site is still very much a work in process...

You could use the shortcodes plugin syntax to make it two columns

docs.joomlabamboo.com/zen-grid-framework-4/theme/Using-shortcodes.html

If its a tabular data then in makes sense to use a table but using tables for positioning isn't a good idea and you also have to factor in responsive table issues

Look at the "Example grid" and below section of that page

Cheers
Paul

Thanks Paul - looks like just what I need. I'll get into it again next week.

Thanks again for your help,

Ian

No problem

Good luck with the site

Cheers
Paul
