Depending on the ease of use of the Forum documents we may need to revise the visual editor. Stay tuned.

I can post images and videos https://eypd.bccampus.ca/groups/community-of-practice-appetite-to-play/forum/topic/this-is-a-dog/#post-4403

BUT I think the UX is wierd. At the very least I'd like to rename "source" to "url".

Ideally we'd also allow uploading of files, like the usual wp wysiwyg. But I understand if that's a lot of work for a short test run and dev doesn't want to do that.

@mandily-p Given that they have access to "Docs" we can create some support documentation that would show them how to also add images/videos/links from websites.

To simplify things, we could just edit the text in the title of the modal.

If you wanted to be super explicit, we could tell them exactly what they can't do too. screen shot 2018-11-29 at 4 58 55 pm

@mandily-p @kathreenriel If we're going to add descriptive text on this modal, I would rather the message be spun in a positive way (what you can do) and not negative (what you cannot do). Perhaps we can think about the messaging on this one. And I'm curious if there is documentation on the Forum we need to read to clarify some of its features. I'm not up to speed on the Forum yet.

mandily-p commented 5 years ago

Most of the time I try to keep messaging positive, but when there's an expected interaction that isn't there, it's more helpful to be explicit about it and tell the user what they cannot do.

Think about a stop sign. You could think of that as a blocker in driving straight to your destination, but if it said anything else other than stop, it wouldn't be nearly as effective.
