No longer able to edit images inside the blog module? Has BC removed this function?

BethVanVel Oct 16, 2014 12:47 PM

When inserting images into a blog post I used to be able to resize images, add margins, etc. I tried to do this recently but those tools were no longer there. Is this no longer available? Below is a screenshot of what it used to look like.

Since there is no featured image for blog posts I've been inserting images into the first paragraph as a work around. Not being able to edit those images directly in the blog module is going to make that more difficult.

I've been able to resize the image through code, but this is not exactly user friendly for clients.

You should never resize in BC like that or through the file manager (which is what your looking for - Click the picture icon in Image Src and the resize will be there) because your doing Math.
Your either manipulating the image in the editor so it is still the large image but just looks smaller (same time to load though) or your telling a computer to size an image based on math.
Since it does not respect the image content it can skew it, it will distort it and if people make it bigger then it is, it will pixelate.

People should always use proper photo editing tools before importing images.

Hi Beth, Liam answered this for me on another post.

Go into site settings / beta features/ untick active beta feature untick "enable for everybody". That should do the trick.

Check this link to see the conversation I am having with liam as I think we are on the same page....or maybe you can help with my questions...

is it possible to truncate the blog so 2 paragraphs show up?

cheers,
d

Thanks for your help! Yeah, I didn't turn on the beta version activation either, so it must be auto activating. The site I'm working on was created in February/March and I'm the only admin working on the site. There's no way my client would know to turn that on!
