I'm creating a form via Laravel, and I'm running into a little issue with the Form::file() input field.
The out-of-the-box looks like the typical, basic button/file info:
But even if I try to assign it to a class with styling for all input fields, nothing seems to be affecting it. For example...
<p class="text-center">
{{ Form::file('photo', array('class'=>'form-control')) }}
</p>
...will only style the outer container of the input (not the button or text itself, and I can't seem to center it). I'm primarily using Bootstrap for my form's styles.
Am I doing something wrong that is making the file input default to its raw styling? Or is the file input type itself sort of separate from all of the other input types, needing to be customized from scratch?

Is there any sort of easy way or helper that would enable to functionality to set custom variable flags. For example I could set a color variable to "blue" in the editor and I could use handlebars to add the "blue" class an element in that post.
EDIT: I ended up having to use a different CMS. Ghost was made intentionally to be simple and my needs require more customization features.
This is something I have been trying to figure out, but (being new to ghost), I haven't found a clean way to do this. Unlike Wordpress, there is no field for this in the editor (I have checked the documentation, nothing similar), so you have to apply some custom solution. Here are two options:
If the styling you want to apply depends on a tag, e.g. if 'movie'-tagged posts need some special styling, you can just add CSS because the {{body_class}} helper adds all the tags to the <body> element as tag-classname, e.g. tag-movie.
If tags are not your option, you could use client side JavaScript, check some condition in the content and apply the styling. I use this to change color of an svg logo when it is placed on a hero image that happens to have the same color as the logo. This requires the hero image of the post to follow some url convention, like post-heroimg3663-blue.jpg. Then you can add some inline Javascript to the <head> to change the color of the logo. Not so good, but it should work.
UPDATE:
If the second option works for you, you could even consider creating a Handlebars custom helper and running any styling (via adding a class) on the server side.
I run a site where users submit basic news articles. I want to add some formatting features for their submissions.
Is it possible to add custom formatting to text only using CSS?
For example, user can add:
**This should be bold**
And the text appears bold. Or user adds > at the beginning of the paragraph:
> This could be a lengthy paragraph
And the paragraph is aligned to the center.
Is such thing possible to do?
It's not possible using pure CSS.
You have to use Javascript or JQuery or process your custom tags in Server-Side and render them as html and css as you want.
No it is not. You will need javascript or php to replace ** with <b> for example. Otherwise your users would need to put in <b>Hello</b>
I have a requirement to produce mark up like the following for an image within the SDL Tridion Rich text editor:
<div class="imagemasksmall">
<img src="tcm:2-123-16" alt="My amazing image" />
</div>
My initial thought was to use the FormatAreaStyles.css file to add a class like div.imagemasksmall { }, however this only seems to be available if I add the div in the mark up.
Is there a way to allow an editor to produce the above markup without having to write the code manually?
If all you need is a DIV with the "imagemasksmall" class and an image inside, you can do that in 3 steps (as you have already added the style to FormatAreaStyles.css):
Insert the image
Change the Section Type drop-down to "Generic container (div)"
Change the Style drop-down to "imagemasksmall"
If you want to reduce the number of manual steps needed for it, you will probably have to write an extension that does those steps for the user.
I'm looking to create a content type which includes a field for an image file - simple enough. However, I want this image file to be displayed as a background-image. Do I have to create a custom node.tpl and include the image source in an inline style="background: url(sites/all/themes/theme/images/image.png);", or is there a more elegant way to do this, possibly including writing to a stylesheet from the field using JavaScript?
You can use drupal_add_css in a hook_node_view function, node preprocess script, or node template to add a style directly:
$css = "#bg-img {
background: url(/sites/all/themes/theme/images/image.png) left top no-repeat;
};"
drupal_add_css($css, 'inline');
Or, you can use a drupal setting and then reference it in a jquery script; look up drupal_add_js usage & examples with the 'setting' option:
drupal_add_js(array("moduleName" => array('bgImg' => $absolute_url)), 'setting');
Reference in jQuery using Drupal.settings.moduleName['bgImg']
IMO adjusting the node.tpl.php as you describe is perfectly sensible. Using drupal_add_css will let you set a background image on an element outside the node, eg the entire page. I've used jquery when I've needed more advanced positioning/resizing options.
Instead of reading documentations and digging into codes, just use Field Formatter CSS module (https://drupal.org/project/field_formatter_class) and get it done in minutes. It's a gem that you will find yourself using it over and over. It lets you add css classes and other options to each field in the "Manage display" of your custom content type. As for this particular case of serving a user-uploaded image as background, here is a screen capture. Add a class into the Field Formatter Class field, and then you should be able to reposition and resize further with css and jquery.
I am wondering if there is a way to use custom css for some specific text on my confluence page (not using embedded HTML).
Sorry this is an old question, but for the sake of people who search for an answer to this question: you can use span or div macros and use the custom css to apply whatever style you want to their contents.
If necessary, you could create custom div and span classes to allow for multiple styles to be applied to selections of text.
EDIT: Here is an example of the wikimarkup you could use to do this
{div:class=customCss|style=float:left; margin-right:50px}
Custom text in a div
{div}
So you can either use the div class and apply a style in the custom css for the confluence space, or you can use an inline style for the div.
You can do this ...
{composition-setup}import.css=/download/attachments/123456789/custom.css
{composition-setup}
That's if you've stored a custom.css file as an attachement. You'd obviously need to replace 123456789 with the actual attachment number.
You can also link CSS on an external site (with an absolute URL), but if you have any automatic URL formatting, that tends to mess it up everytime you change the document.
I use a User Macro that renders the $body in HTML. Then I can put whatever HTML tags I want in the wiki page within the user macro tag.
There could be a way to reach what you want to reach, but there is some information missing (from you). What confluence allows is the following:
If you have admin rights to the confluence wiki space, you could add there a custom style sheet that applies to all wiki pages. Else you could follow the answer of Mus.
Then you should analyse the wiki page in source form. So load a wiki page you want to style, and look at the source of that wiki page in your browser. Depending on your browser, this may be CTRL-U or something similar. Here in chrome, the page menu says View page source.
Try to find the defining selector for your wiki text you want to style in some form. A reasonable hack could be:
Find a wiki style that is not used by others. I have experimented with ~subscript~.
Find the HTML tags that are built by using that style. In my example, it was <sub>subscript</sub>.
Use your custom style sheet to style text of that style.
However, this may change the text where the style is used for its original sense :-(
You can specify custom CSS in your Confluence page via the div and span macros.
In recent Confluence versions (4.0 and later), you can do this as follows:
Type {div} or {span}. On typing the closing brace }, auto-complete will convert the text to a macro.
Left-click on the frame of the macro and select the Edit button
Enter the custom CSS into the Style field and close the dialog
Enter your text into the macro frame. It will then have the style you specified.
