Still coming to grips with Backdrop but almost there and ready to go live...
How do I add text and background color buttons to the ckeditor in core - is it a simple as downloading the relevant extension from ckeditor (I could not find any in the backdrop modules "Install modules" tab/search), nor could I find anything in the toolbar settings for Full HTML (admin/config/content/formats/) or is it a bit trickier?
Hi..., For the Full HTML option... see the "Format options" near the bottom of the CKeditor window when editing content. For background colour... you can add the "Styles" and set the appropriate CSS styles. Edit the Filtered HTML settings as above... And then drag the styles button onto the toolbar... before
After..
Then in the "Style list" further down... Enter your CSS classes... An easy way to add CSS to your site is by installing the CSS Injector module. Hope this helps. Regards Steve
