Editor update: Feedback and Fixes
Posted by David Greiner on July 22, 2008 5:45 PM
It's been 24 hours since we launched the new editor and I just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone who has been sending in so many kind words about the upgrade. It's awesome you're finding it a big improvement, and especially cool that your clients are digging it too.
A number of you guys have also notice some irregular behavior with some templates, and we've been hard at work fixing these issues. We just pushed another update to the editor live that included fixes for the following issues:
- Floating titles that include links can now be updated once added.
- Drag and drop sorting is now working across the board. Some templates has some pretty serious nested table action but we've worked through it so drag and drop away.
- When editing an existing floating image, you can now delete it altogether, as well as replace it.
On an unrelated note, a number of customers have been asking if they can nest a repeater within a repeater. I'm afraid that's not supported right now, and unless there is serious demand it's not going to happen in the short-term.
Thanks again for all the great feedback. Of course, If you spot any other issues moving forward, please get in touch. We want this transition to be as smooth as possible for both you and your clients.

The new editor is fine. But go easy on the business speak - 'moving forward'- there's no excuse for that.
Sorry Pete, didn't know that terms was so "businessy". I'll make sure I leverage your feedback and paradigm shift the way I write.
I seem to be having problems with the new editor and one of my templates. Basically the little edit icon for one of my non-repeating description areas disappears, so I can no longer edit it's contents. The same happens to at least one of my repeated description areas. I have looked in the source code and the edit link is not in there at all (using the web inspector in safari, similar to firebug)
Any ideas as to why this might be the case?
Henry, best option is to fire your details through to support and they can get the bottom of this issue for you.
