Working With Custom HTML Modules' Content Editors (WYSIWYG)

How do I replace placeholder ("lorem ipsum") or unwanted text content?

The content editor can be finicky. To replace placeholder or unwanted text, we recommend that you first click the “BLOCKS” button in the toolbar to reveal outlines surrounding block-level elements. Then, select the text you wish to replace and type in your desired text. Or, you can place your cursor at the end of the text you want to replace, add your desired text, and then select and delete the placeholder text preceding it. We do NOT recommend selecting all placeholder text in the editor and deleting it before you add your desired content. As a result you may accidentally erase necessary markup that the content depends on. It is always best to edit text elements one at a time rather than deleting everything you don’t want from the start.

Can I copy/paste from other sources?

Be very careful when copy/pasting text content from other sources into a Custom HTML module's content editor. When copying from an external document, take steps to ensure the text you are copying is plain text (as opposed to rich text.) When copying from a web page, make sure you are ONLY including text and not actual HTML tags (<p>, <br>, etc.) as this could result in unintended styling/format inconsistencies.

How do I change the appearance of text content (color, font size, etc)?

The “STYLE” dropdown in the toolbar can be used to edit the styling/appearance of content. Keep in mind that when you add a style from the dropdown, it does not overwrite other styles previously applied to the element. This allows greater flexibility in cases where you may need more than one syle applied, but you will need to remember to uncheck undesired styles after applying them.

Please refer to Style Management for examples of classes/styles you may apply.

Keep in mind that changing the appearance or styles of text should be done SPARINGLY - for the sake of consistency across pages, it is best to stick with the module's default styling whenever possible.

How do I add/edit a link?

The "insert/edit link" button in the toolbar is used to create and modify links:

• To create a new link, type your desired link text within the content editor, select it, and then click the "insert/edit link" button. This may be tricky if you're creating a new link next to an already-existing link. To do this, place your cursor at the end of the existing link's text and then press the right arrow key, so your cursor is outside the existing link. Then, type the new link's text, select it and click the "insert/edit link" button.
• To modify an existing link, click into the middle of the link text within the content editor, then click the "insert/edit link" button.

How do I add/edit an image?

The "asset picker" button in the toolbar allows you to add images into the content editor. To modify an existing asset, click the asset and then click the "asset picker" button. Not all custom HTML modules were made with the intent to have an image placed in them. (Tip: If your default placeholder content did not contain an image, you should avoid adding one with this tool.)

Note: If you're including an image in a Custom HTML module, remember to consider the image alt text (which is editable through the "asset picker" button), and include a value when necessary. For more details, see "Do I need to update/include alt text for every image?" in General Tips/Advice for CMS Users.

How do I add a code snippet?

The "insert code snippet" button in the toolbar adds pre-made snippets of code into the content editor. Note that code snippets are primarily (but not always) used as a way to revert either the entire content of a Custom HTML Module to its default state, or to revert a part of its content to its original state. For example, if you accidentally delete the headline and byline at the top of the Custom HTML Module included in Section 1, you can use a code snippet to add it back in. In most cases you will not need to use code snippets unless you're attempting to "fix" a module (i.e. bring back original content which was since removed.)

General Tips/Advice for CMS Users

How can I ensure that my content will be accessible to all users?

Be sure to follow all recommendations and instructions given in this guide, particularly the recommendations involving link text, image alt text, and heading levels. To learn more about accessibility, please see Accessibility for Radancy CMS Publishers.

Additional Notes

How can I add to or update the notes to this section?

Find this section (title: "CMS Guide Info") in your section list and edit its "CMS Guide Info - Copy" module to add as many notes as you'd like right here. Be careful to not delete any of the content above or below your notes!

Section Guide

Before using a section from this guide, please read the corresponding documentation for that section. Documentation is found above each section in this guide, on a black background.

Note that section titles are color coded based on which menu they can be found in after clicking the "add section" button on any page:

Red - find this section in the "Use Existing" Menu.
Green - find this section in the "Add New" Menu.

Keep in mind that when you edit a section from the "Use Existing" Menu, you are editing every instance of that section. Sections added via the "Add New" Menu are safe to be edited freely, as a new instance of the section is created everytime it is added to a page.
