Using Basics Template, Joomla 1.5.20, and JCE 1.5.7.4

In the back end, when adding unordered list, bullets do not show. Additionally, although they do show in the front end, but the lines do not indent. What would be the fix for having the bullets show while editing in the back end and having the unordered list indent?

I also notice the behavior is different when typing and hitting enter. It continues on next line without a space.

I tested this in the included Joomla templates and in two Joomlashack templates. The behavior is unique to the Basics Template

Thank you!

Hello,

Editors can be tricky because they often do not call the correct css files from templates. Are the bullets showing correctly on the frontend?

The bullets show on the frontend, but the bulleted lines don't do the standard indenting.

Hello,

Indenting a style of the css, not required. If you can post a url to where the li's exist I can tell you how to add indenting.

Mike,

I appreciate your assistance.

I have a test article on the front page - Testing Front Page Position. It can be seen here: http://thenativeamericansite.com/ (http://thenativeamericansite.com/)

Are you saying that I won't be able to get a fix in the backend? It is a bit frustrating to work in the dark on formatting issues.

Thanks again.

Hello,

The issue would be with the editor that you are using. Editors are supposed to call all the same css that the template would use, but unfortunately many do not. Depending on what editor you are using, sometimes there are options to call specific css files into the editor. The editor must call template.css and editor.css for it to perform correctly.

If you add the following to the bottom of template.css it will automatically indent your li's for you:

#s5_component_wrap li {
margin-left:20px;
}

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the fix.

I wanted to mention that I use the template Elegance on another site with the same editor - JCE - and I never had that issue. However, I can live with the fix your provided for Basics.
