Any thoughts on being able to embed objects/rules/containers etc. into the
body content?
For example in the middle of your content you could add something like
{{youtube:v348fdd}} (I realise there is a parser for youTube in 6.2 but
just using that as an example)or {{file:
B7F0A8E1-2BFA-C128-43DAFF7280D7DFF6}} etc. Even better if tinyMCE could
render that while the contributor is still editing the content.
At the moment you can have a webskin that is used by the “related content
templates” in TinyMCE but when using these we are commonly inserting
content with div’s and span’s etc. e.g. inserting an icon to the left of a
file link and displaying the file size to the right. We have a lot of
issues when contributors are editing the content and delete a link to a
file for example, but accidently leave behind the wrapping span/div tags. They
then insert a new link to an updated document (again using related content
templates) but now end up with multiple and possibly broken div and span
tags. If you have the webskin displaying the file size or other
information about the file, this is static. If instead using something
like {{file: B7F0A8E1-2BFA-C128-43DAFF7280D7DFF6}} that is rendered at
runtime, if the file has been updated then the file size and other
information would change as needed.
You would/could still use the related content templates to build these code
snippets.
I could see a use for this beyond just youTube and files. It could be a
way to insert rules and containers into the middle of the content rather
than having custom types with “top” and “bottom” content. If used to
insert images into the content, it means any changes to the images
(captions, titles, alt etc.) would automatically change across a site.
Would this be a useful feature to anyone?
Cheers
Mark
