How to best add a style to TinyMCE when using a theme from the marketplace

Permalink December 10, 2013 at 5:50 PM

I am new to C5. I've got it installed together with a theme from the marketplace and things work pretty well. Now I want to customize the theme by adding a few styles such that they will appear in the Styles drop-down in TinyMCE editor.

I have found a solution that requires me to edit the themes typography.css plus one more .css-file and in order to have the changes survive the next update of the theme I need to fork the theme by copying it from /packages/theme_company/themes/theme_name to /themes/theme_name and make the edit there. When an update is available changes then have to be applied manually to the forked and customized theme.

There simply must be an easier / simpler way to add a few extra CSS-rules that will survive an update of the theme?

You could always create your own .css file with the rules inside, then include the file in your theme/elements/header.php like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php  echo $this->getStyleSheet('yourcssfile.css');?>"  />

be sure to place your .css file in the same place as typography.css ;)
