Locking Content

Locking an element for editing

Let's say you have a custom div element of class "warning" that you would like to lock for editing once it's inserted in a topic.

To lock all div of class "warning" for editing, follow these steps:

1. Select the Content or Topic tab;
2. Click on the small button beside the stylesheets drop down list;
3. Select the styles_editor.css stylesheet;
4. Append the style below at the bottom of the existing ones;
5. Save the stylesheet.

div.warning {-xs-lock:yes; background: #A9A9A9;}

With this selector in the editor stylesheet, warnings using the markup <div class="warning">...</div> will be locked in the editor. These warning will also have a dark gray background color, in contrast to what you might have defined in the publishing stylesheet.
