Another Cushy CMS & Fusion 11 Question

[Jerry Reneau]

I use Cushy on several of my sites works great...except for one
thing........
I add the Cushy (<div class="clienteditor">)code in fusion and download the
page then open the page(s) in Cushy to edit and find that somehow there has
been extra spacing below the content added to most/all of the editable
areas..
So I have to go in and remove the extra spacing before the customer makes
any changes adds a lot of extra time and work.

Anyone else have this problem...

Here is a sample page...I have removed the extra spacing on this page but
maybe my mistake is still apparent.

Thanks

[Adendum]

Jar,

Once I have handed over a site to the client for CushyCMS use I never
touch those pages again.

I have two methods of working with CushyCMS...and I'm not sure which is
better.

Option 1:
I create the site entirely in NOF with each page intact and complete and
have the client approve the site on my test server. Once I have that I
save the entire NOD file as xxxxxCLIENT. Meaning I have two NOD files -
NOD1 is the masterborders and everything I want/need to manage and NOD2
is the client editable file.

With NOD2 I convert all the layouts to zeromargins and prefix every page
with c or c-. These are then uploaded to the server.

With NOD1 I remove the client content and replace that with an iFrame
link to the pages mentioned above. Upload this set of pages and let the
client get on with it.

Option 2:
Similar to the above (but more risk). I create the site in full but all
the content is a set of pages (within the same NOD file) prefixed with c
or c- and I use NOF's internal link to these. I upload the entire site
ONCE. And any future uploads have to be all the pages that are not
prefixed with the c or c- and that is a manual process...thus the risk
(of forgetting). And sadly you can't mark the pages as 'do not publish'
as the link breaks; so they have to stay in the NOD and publish. Like I
said...there is risk but its less effort to work the site.

But I am sure there are far clever people here that will point us both
in the right/better direction

In your fusion.css file you have a line:
margin-bottom: 19px;

under p, pre, blockquote, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {

This should be 0px;

You can hand edit the fusion.css file if you are only going to let customers "cushy" the edits, but of course this will come back again if you ever do another NOF upload.

This is a "feature" (read as bug) in NOF11 where it adds this to your text by default.

To fix: Highlight your text and in the right hand CSS - Code Editor box under margin: it adds:
19px 0px;

Remove the 19px and leave 0px and this should fix the issue (see pic).

I think this is the same problem a lot of people seem to have with "random" spacing on pages.

I have tried to do a permanent fix of this problem in the system folder for NOF and removing the 19px but it keeps coming back, so you just have to remember to delete it by hand.

Perhaps someone here will know a permanent fix, as it would save me a lot of time.

You can add inline styles to your Cushy code that will overule embedded or
external styles.

EXAMPLE:

<div class="clienteditor" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color:
red; line-height: 1.5">

Just to add to what I've already said about the "bug" of it adding 19px to
the margin, you can override this when creating new sites, by first going
into STYLES and selecting Normal (P) under Text Styles and then going into
the CSS-Common tab box on the right, and select the MARGINS icon (four
arrows point outwards) tick Uniform margins and then choose 0px. This will
then make all text default to 0px margin and remove the 19px issue.
