Get Enhanced Contributor Editing!

My contributors can add headings, delete rows and auto-insert image ALT text. Can yours? No? Ha!

Well, now they can too, using these replacement HTML Object Properties forms. I have rewritten the standard forms and bundled them together for you to download.

List of new functionality:
  • Apply "auto-styles" (CSS class) to text, paragraphs & tables
  • Convert or remove text formatting (FONT, SPAN, BOLD etc)
  • Convert paragraphs from/to headings (H1 to H6, P, DIV etc)
  • Convert table cells from/to table header cells (TD or TH)
  • Edit or delete table rows
  • Calculate image download size & time (popup alert for oversized images)
  • ALT text for image auto-inserted from the image's "Title" metadata
  • Set image dimensions & keep aspect ratio
  • Set type of numbered list & starting number
Note that no core CS or SS code is modified.

I included a readme.txt file with instructions, disclaimers and other fancy words. Enjoy!

  2. GREAT!!!!!

    is there any way to use two-or more properties forms for a single page simultaneously?

  3. Absolutely, yes. Always use the SS_REDIRECT form. When you click on an item for properties, this form will look at the item and work out which properties form you need.
