Re: [campsite-support] HTMLArea issues
  • Hi Raed,

    It's not a bug, it's a feature Smile

    In order to see the formatting icons the user must have some rights related to
    article editing. These rights are new in Campsite; it's hard for the installer
    to guess which user should receive these rights and which not. So you'll have
    to do it manually for existing users: go to Users menu, edit your user rights
    and check all rights related to HTMLArea.

    Yes, we'll have to document this ...

  • just a though, the shortcut are working, so even if the user doesn't have the right to do BOLD, s/he can press CTRL+B to get access to it?!
  • A little clarification: the idea behind "Campsitization" of HTMLArea (link
    the user interface to user rights) was not so much to prevent users from
    accessing certain basic features, like those for which shorcuts exist, but
    to allow for maximum uncluttering of the user interface, if such a thing is
    needed in a given publishing environment.
