I happen to have to set up some document types with a lot of properties. While trying to set these up I encountered the following issues:
1. I cannot sort the properties as I want (drag & drop) if I have to scroll the page to get to that property / position (it seems it can move items only between the limits of one screen; even if you scroll down, you cannot drag any of the below properties to the place you desire);
2. I cannot use two WYSIWYG fields ("TinyMCE" or "editor"): the toolbars overlay and I cannot use them.. it seems Umbraco tries to display a toolbar for each TinyMCE property the document type has and i cannot control the style of the text i want to input in those fields.. and the "simple editor" is not that simple (the new lines have to be input manually: the tags)
The version i am using is umbraco v 3.0.6 (Assembly version: 1.0.3050.25839).
Not sure if they meet your criteria as bugs but they are annoying.. (especially not being able to use two TinyMCE fields in the same tab of a document).
Thank you for the time spent reading my post and I am looking forward to receiving any help regarding them.
1/ Don't think it has anything to do with umbraco, it's just a limitation of a browser. How would you implement a drag'n'drop feature that scrolls the browser screen. Not sure if it's possible, and I haven't seen such a feature before, unless you can point me to some sample.
2/ Limitation of umbraco v3.x versions, which has been tackled in v4.x. Continue to put different editors or RTE's on different tabs!
Having diferent tabs for each editor is not the best option :) we will look into setting up umbraco 4 or solving it with a different editor.
I am not sure i made myself clear regarding point 1: i have a list of properties that can be dragged and placed in the desired order. Everything works fine until they get so many that you have to scroll the page to see the last added one. If you scroll to the bottom in order to see the last properties and want to move the last one a bit above (not in a way that will require auto scroll - within the same area that you are after scrolling), the place where the item shows up as being moved is not the same as the place i have my mouse cursor (drag the property) - it is way above.. i thought it would be a javascript issue or something related to the umbraco implementation of drag & drop for properties.
WYSIWYG and Document Type Properties
Hi guys,
