Allow participants to paste links and images into RTE content areas

Daniel Hartanto:

Hi Adam,

 

The problem as you see from the returned error message within my attached screengrab is caused by that text area only permitting certain HTML tag, where <img> tag might not be one of them. And yes we are also affected by this so called bug

 

It should unlikely be categorized as unsolvable  especially from their (Convio engineers) end as this would just be a matter of changing the configuration / setting within their backend to allow <img> tag to be allowed / permitted for use within that text area.  Common other CMS platform like Drupal does have this configuration panel where one could defined what HTML tags are allowable, likely also the tinyMCE (which is the RTE plugin that's being used on that Participant Center) likely have similar setting -- but all would need to be integrated / communicated with the entire platform.

 

Further strengthening my opinion above, is that how could on other section the same page editor within the same Convio platform allow <img> and while these personal or team page update does not (i.e. you can drag and drop image onto your email text area on that same Participant Center)

 

But again take it with grain of salt -- This is just my personal observation / thought looking at it from the perspective of us as user / developer outside coming with no history / complete background on the entire Convio cms/lo platform structure / how it was built

 

 

As for workaround -- both personal page and team page have the save upload image / video that comes with the default PC2 where one could still upload an image or a video (that's the limitation) onto their page.  You can then target / style it by targetting the component within your pagewrapper.

 

Hope that helps.

 

regards,

Daniel
