Stupid Editor Question

[bogie]

Am I stuck with using a text editor for PHP stuff, or is there a way to do stuff in "wysiwyg" fashion? For HTML stuff, I've been using Kompozer...

[kobra]

There is an editor built in "html area" and modules for FCK and another.

Select the editor at the beginning of a session and it will remain through that session or toggle it in the admin config my store I think

[bogie]

So, I can use the program itself to edit itself? Mostly what I'm messing with are things like tpl_checkout_success.php (just a file to list...), etc., and I've just been using a text editor, which gets a little old when you're trying tweak images of something...

[bigbadboy]

No, not the app files themselves, you'll need something local like text edit, notepad or even dreamweaver if you must.

BEFORE EDITING ANY FILE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACK-UP
and, preferable, you have a my_template override set up.

Text editor to tweak images? Could you be more specific with exactly what you are wanting to do?

[bogie]

Basically just wanting to move stuff around on the screen a little here, a little there...

Layout, not image editing...

[gjh42]

You will generally use CSS in your stylesheet to tweak the image/page layout. If you have Firefox with its Web Developer extension, you can use the CSS > Edit CSS button to see changes instantly. Once you have it right, save the edits to your actual stylesheet.

Okay - installed that, and I can't figure out where in the stylesheet I need to edit to move the "buy it" box on the product info template...

I'd really like to lose the border around it, and have it centered under the text... maybe have the button right next to the box, and make it wide... I'd think that'd get changed in the template override...

[gjh42]

Some of the product info page changes require moving clearly marked blocks of code in
/includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php, and others can be carried out in your stylesheet.

Use the Information > Display Element Information button to find what classes/ids control the elements you are interested in. Change or add those in your stylesheet.

The add to cart elements are separated by <br /> tags in the code, and you will need to remove some of those to get horizontal arrangement.

[bogie]

Okay - also found Firebug - I think that's a little more intuitive for me, altho it is a pain drilling down to the elements...

What do you think?

Turned off a bunch of stuff on the page, including the quantity box, then turned it back on, because I want folks to buy a half-dozen for their kids, employees, whatever.

Can't figure out how to get it to center with the larger add to cart box, but on the side...
