Ability to format images, view source code, etc. In posts

0

When posting Unit Pages in CoursePress I am missing some of the standard functionality that I have grown to expect from my standard WordPress installations. If I am missing documentation on this issue, I would love to be pointed to it.

Here are some specific editing functionality I would like to use:

1) The ability to format an image. In most of my WordPress page/post editing windows I get an Edit option when I mouse over the image. However, in CoursePress, it appears the only thing I can do is select it and delete the image.

2) I would like to be able to view the HTML / Source being used in the edit window.

3) I would like to be able to include actual HTML examples like <img src=”example.png”> in the posts without the HTML being parsed.

Thanks. I am new to the product (just purchased the PRO version today), but I look forward to using it. It looks good.

    Hi Christopher!

    We’ve designed Course Press to be easy and intuitive for users who aren’t necessarily familiar with the core WP functions, which is why we’ve added the custom interface. You’re correct, it doesn’t give you quite the same range of freedom available in a typical WP post or page, but our hope is that it will be more intuitive for many site owners.

    I’ll happily ask the dev for feedback on this one, however!

    As for issue 3, I think that one’s going to be pretty critical, so we’re going to do a feature request. Thanks for pointing it out!

    Have a great weekend!

    Thanks. All three of these would be critical to my future use. In particular the ability to align and wrap text around images would be nice.

    As you mentioned, #3 is critical for anyone using this tool to teach any Internet technologies. I can figure out some workarounds … but would prefer direct entry.

    Thanks again for your help.
