Hi all, I ran across this on Digg and thought I would pass it along. Browser Size creates an overlay with data Google collected about the actual viewable area in peoples browsers. This allows you to position critical elements where they will be seen without forcing users to scroll the page. Google Earth notes a 10% increase in downloads as the result of their using this to reposition the download button. The link to the Google Code blog where you can find out more on this tool and see if it would be useful for you is http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2009/12/introducing-google-browser-size.html

I've always installed JCE and turned off everything but bold and italic :-) -- Mitch ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 13:14:48 -0800 (PST) From: Donna Marie Vincent <[email protected]> To: "NYPHP SIG: Joomla" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [joomla] article template Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I have a bunch of divs and classes that need to remain in place in the article and the user should just edit the text within the divs, as well as add new sets of divs. I don't want them to accidentally delete the tags or their attributes while editing. I tried EasyTemplate, which looks like a good solution but the Insert button is dead in JCE. ________________________________ iTeachMe(TM) online learning system for Joomla!(R) web development See us on: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube ________________________________ From: Mitch Pirtle <[email protected]> To: NYPHP SIG: Joomla <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, December 16, 2009 3:57:27 PM Subject: Re: [joomla] article template On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 3:43 PM, Donna Marie Vincent <[email protected]> wrote: > What is the best way to set up an article template, for an article that has > specific and unusual styling that you don't want a user to accidentally > destroy while editing?

EasyTemplate looks like a nice plugin for inserting preformatted text. It give you a little box to add your text and then it applies your formatting to it. ________________________________ iTeachMe(TM) online learning system for Joomla!(R) web development See us on: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube ________________________________ From: Donna Marie Vincent <[email protected]> To: NYPHP SIG: Joomla <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, December 16, 2009 4:14:48 PM Subject: Re: [joomla] article template I have a bunch of divs and classes that need to remain in place in the article and the user should just edit the text within the divs, as well as add new sets of divs. I don't want them to accidentally delete the tags or their attributes while editing.

It's very handy! You can make a ton of your own editor buttons without backend coding. ________________________________ From: Gary Mort <[email protected]> To: NYPHP SIG: Joomla <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, December 16, 2009 5:40:02 PM Subject: Re: [joomla] article template How about linking the article to a menu item and giving the menu item it's own unique template with all your formatting and the regular template stuff?
