Some ideas for “CSS Editor” developement

6 years ago · Last reply by Alex S 6 years ago

hi, guys!
many thanks for your work and amazing siteorigin css editor!
I use it as a base css customizer for my site and have some thoughts. May be You’ll find them useful.

some ideas:
1.
make the “save css” button (or “save and refresh”) on expand view (where we can edit css and see changes). Now we must go to the standard view – save css/refresh – and go back to expand view editor.

2.
even a small site have many selectors. Logically, with time they tend to be organized in some sections: “company”, “product”, “team” etc
so, there will be great to have something like a “navigation panel” — to have an opportunity for quick moving between BLOCKS of selectors.

(moreover, if “custom css” is long and we “save css” — we have to start scrolling from the begining to the last edit point.
It’s will be great to keep user’s location after saving.)

3.
If this navigation will also have custom Tabs (like a browser tabs) for user’s MAIN blocks (in accordance with the site pages, for example) that’ll be very-very useful.
For example, I use WP+woocommerce. I’d like to divide custom css in two “virtual” “parts: wp + woo.

So, the Custom CSS will have something like “horizontal navigation” (TABS) and “vertical navigation” (main sense BLOCKs within Tabs).

Thank You!

    … thanks a lot, Alex!

    (and two points else:

    4.
    To keep in expand editor last edited page: when we go back to standard mode to save css and go back to expand view again — we start from the site home page. I’m sure that in most cases users would like to see the last page they edit.

    5.
    When we find the selector on a page by mouse pointer and double-click it — it’ll be better to add this selector at the current cursor place in custom css (now it appears at the end of file: so, if the file is long enough and we try to keep selectors by sence together to avoid a mess — we ‘ll have to remove (copy-paste) this selector to the right block.)

    Thank You again!
