Hi Guys,

I hope you are keeping well?

Here a few styling fixes for your Easy Blog in combination with the Ark Editor. I have attached and beautified the style-composer.min.css file located here: /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/styles/ and tweeked it which will fix a few incompatibility issues with our Ark Editor.

Hopefully we can get it looking nicely when users use it in combination with EasyBlog!

The changes are are on lines:

22308,
22318,
22341,
22356,
22390,
22461,

I’ve also notated this for you so you should be able to easily read my suggested changes.

Many thanks,

Paul Franklin
Hello Paul,

How's it going? Everything great I hope? By the way, the minified file is not something that we actually modify from. We actually compile them from less files to css. Was wondering what are the offending codes / styles that conflicts with ArkEditor?

Hi Mark,

Yes, very well thank you!

I guess that might be the case. I tried to address it on our side in less but couldn’t because the .cke_ styles in your style-composer.min.css are taking preference. However, if you have a look at the decompiled file I’ve attached i've clearly notated the issues which will show you the conflicts and improvements to: add, change and remove.

This is on lines:
22308,
22318,
22341,
22356,
22390,
22461

Does this help?

Thanks,

Paul Franklin

Hello Paul,

Thank you for reporting this, we found out ARKeditor and CKEditor are using the same css classes for their editor, hence it might have conflict if we apply the codes. I will log this into our issue tracker.

Hi Chang,

Many thanks for this.

we found out ARKeditor and CKEditor are using the same css classes for their editor, hence it might have conflict if we apply the codes.

Yes this is correct as our editor (The Ark Editor) is a popular implementation and I am testing it with the latest CK Editor 4.5.10 version. The problem with overwriting its styles from within your componant is that they will end up out of date at some point. Furthermore, the CKEditor has a skin directory http://ckeditor.com/addons/skins/all so whatever overrides you make its not going to work for all unless the editor is free to do this work.

I’ve also noticed that EasyBlog is interfering with Code Mirror which is another editor we use for formatting code, so I wonder if you could also rasie this as an issue?

I will log this into our issue tracker.


Sorry to cause you a headache but a number of users have brought this up and we are unable to fix this on our side as you know. I will pass the message on and inform them that you are aware of the issue? Would you kindly give me a link to the thread of your issue tracker so I can forward on to them?

Many thanks,

Paul Franklin

Hello Paul,

Thanks for your insights on this and we already implemented a fix for this conflict in EasyBlog 5.0.37 which we just released a couple of hours ago. It should work fine with ArkEditor out of the box now
