Topic: missing editor icons

Hi i am trying to get this working for an email template for a client, so it does use quite a few tables, i have gone through the code and added class="edit" to the images, links and text areas etc, but when clicking the little blue "A2" icon to edit anything i only have a couple of icons, i have changed the rich text editor options, but im wondering if i have the option to use use bot a simple and advanced editor, i just cant find out how to default to the advancd editor, as i cant edit any links etc with the basic one.

ta

Re: missing editor icons

Hi Dave, what's the URL to the email template? Feel free to send it in a message to us to protect your site's privacy.

If you set class="edit" on a link then the editor will restrict the toolbar options because it thinks you want to edit the link text, for example if you have:

<a href="/my-page.php" class="edit">My page</a>

Then you'll see only a few generic toolbar options and you'll see "My page" as the text to edit. If you wish to edit the link and link text then you'd have to do something like this:

<p class="edit">
     <a href="/my-page.php">My page</a>
</p>

OR

<span class="edit">
     <a href="/my-page.php">My page</a>
</span>

Then you'd see your customised toolbar options.

Re: missing editor icons

hi sorry i did not reply earlyer in the end i removed all the edit classes from the code and used the define areas, this seemed to sort everything out.

Only issue i have now, is how does a user add a link to an image?

i want to use the image editor for the images so the size can stay as designed.
but i also want them to edit / add/ remove a link to the image?

any idea?

thanks
dave

Re: missing editor icons

This is a very good point and something we never actually considered until now - we will add an input box to the image editor sometime soon.

Thanks :)

Re: missing editor icons

We were working on this when our office was taken out by an earthquake. Things have had to be put back quite significantly as a result, as you can imagine. We still don't have an office (or a house!) but we are armed with laptops and it's a feature we will add as soon as we can.

Re: missing editor icons

I'm sorry to sound blunt but you can't "appreciate the issues" we've had in the last week. We both lost our homes, were without electricity or water and had to witness devastation all around us. Not to mention the sudden lack of an office to work from...

We will get around to this after we've waded through the thousands of emails that have subsequently piled up.

Re: missing editor icons

You can now edit links on images.

Enable the feature for yourself (the admin):
Account > My account > Edit image links

Enable the feature for your users:
Users > Permissions > User settings > Edit image links
