when you edit an article. it changes all of the quotes and apostrophes to code. so if i edit a article 3-4 different times i get:

;amp;amp;amp;ampwords;amp;amp;amp

instead of:

"words"

how can i prevent this?

also in the article manager.. when i add a photo, 2 things go wrong or arent functioning...

1. it cant text wrap? how can i wrap the text around a photo? in html its align="right" and the test aligns around it and the photo goes to the right side. but that doesnt seem to work with the image tags in nexus, what am i missing?


2. when i add an article, the style of the article itself cuts off right before the photo, as if the image code stops the style/article code in its tracks. so if there is a light grey border around the article, it stops and the rest of the article below the photo is just kinda free ballin on the page..

suggestions?

thanks for all the help. you guys have been awesome throughout this beta. cant wait to get the final product!

also cannot use content blocks within an article.. it just shows the code of the block instead of the actual content block

You could change it each time, but it sounds like a bug - I'd report it to the bug tracker.

align tags are deprecated, and honestly I've never been able to just use align="right" myself. Setting that aside, if you float the image it should work.

<img src='here' style='float:right;' />

Sounds like the div is getting closed or something. You sure you didn't mismatch a " or ', or end a div or table accidentally?

I think that's by design - I think the blocks are only meant to be used in pages (dynamic and static), though I can't really think of a reason they couldn't be supported in articles.

thanks again for all the help. i am really enjoying this software.. the learning curve is quite simple once you wrap your head around it, then its just these small details to iron out.

As you know, we appreciate your feedback too. It's great having people trying to build a real site with the software, because only then can we truly know what we need to fix/change. Keep it coming original.gif

thanks, ive become more comfortable with the custom views and content blocks as time is going on, im actually spending a handful of time backtracking and redoing some areas with content blocks where they appear of several pages. http://live.fnnsports.com

lots of things seem out of place and i have some sub-par ads running for extra cash right now. making the site seem tacky but once we launch things will class up a bit.

when im done we will have about 15 custom views running on the front page alone. and a few weeks ago i didnt understand the concept at all.

but it makes life so much easier...

ive got some more things ill be posting shortly.. thanks again.

im still having issues with the image portion of this question...

if i use html like <img src= it simply shows that in the article.. no image at all just the text of html code.

and if i use the "insert special" it uses same code as IPB with the [ img ] tags.. which doesnt give the option to float right or left, etc...

am i missing something?

thanks!

Edit the category that your articles are in and under "Advanced Settings", turn on "Allow HTML in Single Page Articles", then you can format the image using normal HTML.
