The on-line editor

Saturday 17 April 2004 3:50:03 pm

I read the blurb on the editor and assumed it would make it relatively simple for a neophyte to produce reasonable looking copy to add to articles on the site - so I shelled out the $149 (US) to buy this miraculous product. Although the published claims are somewhat true, I am completely mystified by the complexities of simply adding an image to the body of an article. My mystification is complicated by the fact that on the editor toolbar it seems to invite the addition of objects to the text; nowhere does it explain that you also have to associate the image object to the article, and, I believe, apply an override template for the embedded image (I am still unable to embed an image and actually display it - all I get is a text hyperlink to the image).
So, what exactly is the point of supplying (at a significant price) an editor to simplify article updating, but which dos absolutely nothing to help the user do something as simple as adding an image to an article?
Sorry for the rant, but could someone help me by explaining how to actually display an image embedded in article text?

Thanks

The editor works quite well, after many retries and some help from these forums, I can now publish pictures in text articles - if you are having similar troubles, search for some of the threads on images and persevere - it works (eventually). Don't forget to flush the caches after each and every change!

To buy the software, click on products, then on-line editor, then simply add to basket (at the bottom of the on-line editor page). Installation is simple, and the product works, but seems expensive for the functionality. However, given that the rest of the EZ Publish software is essentially free, then the cost is probably quite reasonable.

Good luck.
