I am no programmer, I am just a high end user and like playing around to see what maybe is going wrong for the programmers to fix.

Also found after making a test page to try out the lightbox and then deleting that page, and while I was there altered some other pages and published them , I noticed it uploaded lightbox which it had no need to.

Just like an image that you put on a page and then remove, it gets added to the resource manager, so when you publish, it will get uploaded unless you remove it from the Resource manager also.

Thanks Jason fopr the tip.

I have found with tables if I add the to tables it stops those codes magically appearing at the end of the table.

Hi all

We're working on the editor - It's something we're aware of and will be dealing with as soon as we can (I don't commit to an ETA just now, but when we can, we will).
The LightBox feature was added at the beginning of the year - more to come...
@Patrick - am going to PM you about widgets, etc.

Apart from (important) "subtleties" like the poor quality of the generated html code, I would concentrate on the fact that the unxpanded lightbox appears in the published page just like a (thumbnail) image, but it integrates very poorly (not at all, in fact) with the page text: there's no way to get text flow decently along the "image".
Since it appears just like an image, and effectively IS just an image as until it's clicked, it is also necessary that it integrates as such, with alignment, border and margin properties.
As is, it is just bluntly thrown into the page, allowing no orderly design with the text, as images more or less allow.

Tried to fit into a table, but apparently tables do not behave any better than lightboxes under this respect. Text plays funny around them during edit, but then doesn't flow.
Now I notice, Thumbnails are no better either...

With all these drwabacks, it nearly goes unnoticed that the tool is totally NOT WYSIWYG...

Nice glittering whistle, but if it doesn't fit with the page...
Previous posts date april 2010: apparently the "more to come" didn't come...

Hi Zava,

Yes adding the Light box is the best way to go here.

The question then becomes 'How to wrap text around a table?' .

To wrap text around a table:
* Right click on the table
* Choose Table Properties
* Navigate to the Style > Layout section
Option 1: Select Display: Inline, and then left or right align the table in the designer.
Option 2: Select Position: Relative, and Float: Left or Right
Option 3: Select Position: Absolute, and enter the distance from the top left corner of the browser in px.

If I can be of any further help, do let me know.

Thank you Ben,
too bad about fitting the lightbox, but the table indeed can be a workaround!
I followed your suggestions and it worked.
I had already tried to fiddle with those parameters to this purpose but didn't get any result: maybe the Layout parameter's (names, organization and effects) are a bit obscure? (or maybe it's me...)

Thank you anyway!

Hi Ben,
upon closer inspection, I noticed that inserting the table into the text as you suggested seems to be done by cutting the paragraph with <p>...<\p> tags. The result is that separate paragraphs are effectively generated, thereby altering vertical text spacing.
This can be seen in the test page at
http://www.fortidelgarda.it/complessi_fortificati.html
The text next to the table is splitted after "cliccare per", so that "ingrandire)" actually starts a new paragraph: as a result the spacing between two lines is replaced by the spacing between two paragraph, which is higher.
I guess this should not happen.

Thank you!

Hi Zava,

If the <p> </p> is causing difficulties, you can often edit th HTML and replace these tags with <div> </div>

The <div> tags do you have any vertical spacing overheads.

If I can be of any further help, do let me know.
Ben

Thank you Ben,
I am sure your suggestion works, but editing HTML is not the reason why I purchased a WYSIWYG tool claiming I would need no knowledge of HTML...
I surely don't master HTML enough to correct the generated code each time it misbehaves, that's why I chose a WYSIWYG tool.
But I'll give it a try...

Thank you!
