Not sure if this is possible, but an undo button would really come in handy. I haven't needed one yet, but I'm sure I'll stumble across cases where it would be nice. I'm sure many folks would use it. The JCK editor I suggested in the past has this feature. :wink:

As for Scott and everyone else... all right, I'll get working on the better styling for transitioning from the new editor to the old. What will this do? Make it easier to find the old editor button and make it look nice. Let me think on this.

Undo buttons are usually pretty complicated based on my understanding. Requires a whole new process to track every single change as it is made, and remember all of them.

Ctrl+Z works fine as UNDO, and Ctrl+Y as a REDO. I don't know how big the redo buffer of the editor is, but you can undo (and redo) several actions. And since the editor has the functionality, adding buttons for it shouldn't be all that difficult. Whether we want them or not, that's a whole different question. Personally, I don't find them necessary. But then again, I've stored all these frequently used shortcuts in the back of my head somewhere...

It shouldn't happen in any modern browser. Can you show me an example?


Montana Matt, check out my route page that I'm trying to reformat using the new editor: http://www.summitpost.org/view_object.php?object_id=463934&confirm_post=7. Scroll down about half way and look at the vertical photo on the right titled "Cracker Peak (L) & Mount Siyeh (R)". I believe the photo inserted at a default width=500px; when I changed it to 300px, the photo showed up very, very blurry on the page. Thanks for looking into this.

Wow! That was quick! How about the swapper I gave you for switching the editor. :wink: Right now you have to sorta look for the link, the version I proposed it's easily there for you.

I can figure out why there is a huge space above the last section in my page, or why there is a heading that says "Images":

Hello

Recently when trying to create an image page, about 75% of my attempts end in an error; it is becoming annoying. Not sure if it is SP V3 bug, or a temporary problem? Below is an example of the error message. Thank you.

replace_object() INSERT INTO `objects` SET `object_id`=NULL,`type_id`=3,`last_edit`=NOW(),`creation`=NOW(),`last_edit_u

What browser do you use? Version number helps too!

Josh, at work Internet Explorer 8 and at home Sarfari 10 (I think?). I had the problem both at home last night and today at work. I was cut and pasting text into the body section since the photo information was repetitive.
Matt, photo size was big and small, as low as 100 Kb and the most was about 5 M. All photos were JPEG format.

I was able to have string of no issues and upload the photos I wanted. I did stop cut and pasting text, not sure if this was the problem? Not sure if y'all need to worry about it since my photos did eventually upload. I will let you know if this error shows up again.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Cheers
Kevin

I discovered that when adding one of my images to another page if I type in the whole title of the image exactly from (my images) it often comes up "no query". But if I just type in the first word of the title or a key word in the title it brings up all of my images that contain that word and then I can add the image since it is in that group. I am using google chrome.

This is the same Matt, but for example if you member search on 'Vitaliy M.' or 'The Chief' you get no results, but if you search 'Vitaliy' or 'Chief' you get some results. Something a little buggy there.

Chad, are you talking about the global site search? Or the image search when inserting images? I been very aware of the global site search issue with it being extremely literal (this has gone on since SP V2).

I am talking about if you click on 'people' (or anything else) and search for an item.

Yup, that would be the global search. :wink: As far as experience tells me, the global search on the right is the same as the one on specific site sections.
