A few people in my office space have been editing content on a CVS Drupal site I'm involved with. Here are a few issues that came up:
- The preview is confusing. The shortened version and the long version run together.
This could be blamed on me as a themer since I haven't bnothered to theme those. However, I'm not sure that I should have to worry about those.
Some suggestions for making them better by default:
- Use the new clear-block class so images and other tall content don't flow into each other.
- Put some sort of highlighting which separate the previews and makes the "preview" headers stand out. (disclaimer: I'm using yui reset.css which manages to undo some of drupal.css)
I think this is also a problem of the default setting for teaser length. I've turned this off on most sites I'm involved with. Is 600 chars (or whatever it is) really the best thing out of the box?
- The input formats aren't visible.
I actually had only one input format enabled so the rules were shown, but the JavaScript and br tags being filterted out was unanticipated. p tags were also used despite the line break filter being enabled.
I think a good solution would be a notice explaining that some text has been filtered out and why.
- Attached files don't work in preview.
That is a bug.
