I have been using dnn exclusively for over 2 years. However, the new text/html module is a complete nightmare. It is costing us hours and hours of totally unnecesssary work. Sizing text, highlighting text, creating text links, centreing text, justifying text, selecting fonts, sizes and styles. Repeating the same exercise countless times. The whole thing is a total, complete and utter disaster.

What was a simple easy WYSIWYG editor is now a real mare. WHY???? How can I sell a CMS website to a client when we cant get text and pictures to size and justify correctly?

I am now considering switching to something else the issue is that bad. Is anyone bothered about this? Is anyone else suffering the same problems????

I'm angry because yet again today a 2 minute job takes an hour and still isnt right. How do I explain this to a paying customer???

Why are there such vast differences in the way FF and IE display sites? Surely these issues should be resolved before a product is ever released.

Some response would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Erik.. i thought i had explained quite well. However, I will elaborate. We get lots of problems trying to resize, change font, place and size pictures.

Spaces are inserted on their own...ie not by us when editing in the module. Meaning you have to re-enter the module and edit out the 'magic spacing' as we call it.

We are using the standard DNN editor that is now different to the 'older' editor.

Can you explain where this additional coding (spaces etc) comes from? Safe to say the whole thing is maddeningly frustrating.

We'll leave the FF / IE issue alone as it's fair comment that you make.

Thanks for the reply. We work with stock skins/templates and others too. And yes we do alter the CSS etc, so I take your point, but when a customer logs-in to their site and wants to edit some content or add new contect, it has to be simple and fool proof. That's the whole point of CMS. That's how we sell it.

If when they complete their editing the pictures will not 'centre', the text size is now what they want it to be, or in some cases different fonts in the same sentence, there has to be an issue somewhere.

We have had these issues with a stock template straight out of the box! Therefore CSS editing wouldn't apply would it?

What's even more confusing, sites that were editing fine now will not. The result is a stroppy client and unpaid work for us.
