Editor (WP_Editor or TinyMCE) page template body class

[webmandesign]

Hi,

Currently the post editor (TinyMCE) applies several classes on the editor's HTML body#tinymce:

• Post type class
• Post status class
• If supported, post format class

However, it would be good idea to support a page template classes here too.

Usecase:

Theme author may target different content widths within editor stylesheet depending on the page template set. Such as for fullwidth page template or page with sidebar template.

Thanks for consideration!

Regards,

Oliver

Assuming that class will have to change "dynamically" when selecting another template from the drop-down, the same way post type classes work. This is fairly easy to do from a plugin or theme, but maybe it should happen by default.

Hi. Yes, I am doing this in the theme already (just not applying all the page template related classes as there is too many of them ;)) but I really think this should be part of the core.

Adding a page template CSS class on TinyMCE body

[webmandesign]

I've made a patch for this. And judging by how the WordPress creates additional page template classes when applying them on HTML body on front-end, I think using simple page-template-{filename} class would be enough. Let me know if this is OK with you, guys.

In 38803:

TinyMCE:

• When editing pages, add body class with the page template, or page-template-default.
• Change the page template class when the users select another template, similarly to changing the post type class for posts.

Props webmandesign.
Fixes #37599.
