Details

When you create a user who has content edit rights only, they can't see the Snippets or Chunks menus.

However in the Document Properties they can see a list of available Snippets that they can insert on that page. It would be usefull if they could ALSO see a list Chunks that can be inserted. Otherwise how do they know what Chunks the admin has created?

Also, it would be nice if a users could:
1. Place the cursor in the content area (or a TV)
2. Select from the list of Snippets or Chunks
3. Click on an Insert button and the correct text for the Snippet or Chunk is inserted.

The problem with this:

Is that every editor uses a unique method of adding content once it has already loaded so a differant version would have to be written for each.

  • Field changed: Due in Version (Undecided → 0.9.7)
Manager interface needs an overhaul in general... snippets removed in 0.9.x. A pop-up list of snippets/chunks in the manager RTE would be quite handy though, inserted properly.
