Can anyone help me understand what is happening when I try to print from a joomla site:
When I use the print icon I get the expected result of just printing the article (ie no headers, side modules etc) but I also lose all the default.css that is used for my template. ie no type styling and only see the style that has been included inline in the article. The result is pretty grim as the text size is all wrong.
However, if I try to print directly from the browser I keep the format applied from the default.css of my template but do not see any of the images that are included in JCE ImageManager PopsUps- presumeably because the browser is blocking pop-ups.
Can anyone explain what I need to add to a print.css and how joomla knows to use this when printing using the print icon.
Many thanks in anticipation of a reply!
You can identify a print stylesheet by doing something like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css">
I am not sure though if joomla can identify it by this. On Joomla do it like this:
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addStyleSheet( 'http://www.example.com/css/mystylesheet.css', 'text/css', 'print' );
Have a look here: http://docs.joomla.org/JDocument/addStyleSheet on the Joomla part. Maybe this is sufficient, but it may also depend on the version

Simple blog in Django (1.11.7 - Python3) in which I have impemented the Markdownx plugin. The plugin works for most of the markdown in preview in my 'edit_article' page, and in the normal view where users can read an article. BUT some of the markup isn't working in either:
Not working:
blockquotes using >
headers using one or more # or _
double-space and carriage return doesn't add a line-break
Links, images, numbered lists, emphasis and bold etc all work.
I posted my markdown in here, but of course it all worked here...
Don't really have any code to post, because most things work, so I'm guessing there isn't any problem with my model/view etc.
Anyone experienced this?
# So, let's try a header
doesn't work, neither does
> this type of blockquote
but they shoud produce
So, lets try a header
and
this type of blockquote
So I found the answer to this myself. I am using a CSS framework that resets the styling on the 'broken' markup tags. Until I add back the framework's CSS classes to the H1-H6 tags for example, the reset makes all headers appear as plain text.
So I have to add some custom CSS to the css framework's styling for those tags that are being overridden, or use html in the textarea in the form which should also work.
I have used CKEditor for a few years without really understanding it. I now want to use it to display text which will include HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP example code. None of that needs to execute it is just to show the code to others.
Currently I used the textarea replace method to edit content and I need to carry on that way. When I add the content first time it is sanitised (mysqli_real_escape_string) and stored in a MySQL database correctly. It also then displays correctly with the CKEditor markup working as markup and the HTML/PHP showing as a code example. However, when I edit the content a second time the HTML examples become "real" HTML and are no longer visible as examples.
For example this:
<?php echo "hello"; ?>
<p>Hello</p>
is correctly (?) stored as:
<p><?php echo "me"; ?></p>
<p><p>Hello</p></p>
and displays on the page as shown in the first code snippet (which is what I want). When I then hit edit again the code examples vanish into the background as real HTML (part of the page). If I put the code examples in as code snippets (which I would rather not have to do because of the intended users) the result in the editor (second edit) looks like this:
<!--?php echo "me"; ?-->
Hello
I am sure i am missing a basic understanding of what is going on behind the scenes but can anyone explain how to allow users to type in text which includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL code examples which must then appear as examples and not markup (and be editable as examples).
I have played with config.entities and config.protectedSource after some research but they do not seem to be relevant (or to work). Weirdly a couple of times it seemed to work fine and I thought I had cracked it but then stopped with no further changes to the config. That means I now have less idea what I am doing than when I started!
You don't mention which version you are using, but if it's relatively new (4.4+) you can use the Code Snippets plugin that was designed exactly for this. See the demo at http://ckeditor.com/demo#widgets. It might help with the encoding issues too. There's docs on it too.
Th help with the current encoding issue, it would help a LOT if you showed us how you output the data and load it into CKEditor. For example "When I then hit edit again" doesn't really describe anything without context. For example, do you use setData() with AJAX? Do you use an inline editor? Code examples would be the best.
I’m trying to display the menu title text (example “Home”) in the header area of my Joomla 2.5 website.
Joomla’s default (when activated) is to place it in the Component area.
I’m not sure the best way to accomplish this. By default Joomla wraps the menu title with an H1 tag but doesn’t wrap it with a div and class.
The ways I’ve thought might be best to do this are:
Somehow wrap all menu titles with a div and class so I could reposition them up into the header with css .
Add some php code to my template. Something like:
php
$menuTitle = $this->params->get(‘fieldNameOfMenuTitle’);
php
echo = $menuTitle;
Any ideas, suggestions, or answers would greatly appreciated
Thanks
Never found an exact answer but found a work around.
Used a modified version of the below demo/plug-in to create a custom field (named it: "Title that displays on the Web Page") in the articles menu. By default, the table that is created and displayed in the web page is in the component area and is wrapped in a w/ a class. Repositioned the with CSS up into the header/banner area.

I wanted to have a feature in my Jommla based application, that when ever a user brings the mouse over a particular paragraph in article the color of text should change. so that the paragraph looks more prominent on the screen.
I want this thing to be dynamic. Just wanted to know which is the best place to do that. Where in the Joomla the article parsing takes place ?. If I am lucky is there any plugin that can help achieve that ? Kindly let me know
You can make a slight modification to Trev's solution and make it work without having to change any articles.
.contentpaneopen p:hover {color:#ff0000;}
By default, Joomla assigns the contentpaneopen class to articles, this would produce the effect on all P tags that are children of that class.
By far the easiest thing to do would be to add a style to paragraph in question in your article and then add an appropriate hover rule in the css, e.g.
<p class="highlight>some text in here</p>
and
p.highlight:hover
{
color: #ff0000;
}
Just tried it here and it worked for me on the last paragraph:
http://thelunarscape.com/blog/an-increasingly-active-sun
Better solution than using a plugin in this case, unless you want to something more fancy I guess as content plugins are run every time an article is loaded no matter if it's needed or not.
Another more advanced way to achieve this is with help of MooTools.
Include MooTools with in your application with:
jimport( 'joomla.html.html.behavior' );
JHtml::_('behavior.framework'); //MooTools core
JHtml::_('behavior.framework', true); //This is for MooTools more libraries
Next create a script that changes the css of the paragraph with id "myid":
$js = <<<EOD
window.addEvent('domready', function(){
$('myid').setStyle( 'border', '1px solid #000000')
});
EOD;
$document =& JFactory::getDocument();
$document->addScriptDeclaration($js);
Why use MooTools?
MooTools makes it possible to tweak the highlightning and even animate the highlight. It should also have better support for the older browsers.
I'm trying to find tutorials or code to allow users to customise their page, just like twitter ,wordpress and tumblr do.
Could someone tell me what technology their using?
i'm a .net developer, but maybe they're using jquery?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
You can use javascript to change style sheets and the DOM
Question is a bit broad. To change the page you simply need to manipulate the DOM or change the CSS associated with the page's elements. This can be done any number of ways. E.g. you could write out a new CSS class dynamically, you could add new elements to the DOM itself or you could modify the existing attributes of the page. e.g. to set the background of the page you can do something like:
(assuming JQuery)
$("body").css('background-image','url(path/to/image)');
Hope that helps,
