Hello, I am having issues with coding on custom pages in the back end of the new version 5.3.13.

Previously in 5.2.x I had to manually edit the database files when trying to layout specific pages (img width="xx%", etc) as we had multiple images per row sometimes on static pages.

Now it seems that I can't edit it within the xcart backend or the sql manual entry either as it seems to put a line return between each image otherwise regardless of the image size.

Is there a manual (or setting) workaround we can do for such things?

Thanks!

An example would be: (version 5.2.15)

as I'd have to manually edit the sql lines for width="24%" etc.

I've tried using the WYSIWYG editor and using the manual ones, but it always strips the width tag so I had to manually edit it in the pages_translation pages. It's a pain but it's a workable workaround...

this version however, it is not.

It looks like if I create a table it will work via the SQL end still - but there is still a bit of a padding/border issue that I'm guessing can be fixed via .table CSS overriding?

I've reported this problem to the XC5 dev team:

However, a better approach would be using CSS to style your pages.

For example, you can wrap your IMG tags into a DIV tag having "my-custom-class" as the "class" attribute, and then add the following CSS rule via ThemeTweaker:

.my-custom-class img {
  width: 24%;
}

I had not previously thought of using CSS to make that work. But thank you!

The HTML issue is still something we are interested in finding a fix as we've had forms added to pages for contests or contacts etc. So with that we still need to use the MYSQL backend to make that fit properly.

But this will make most of our layouts a bit easier until it can be fully available. thanks again!
