It’s Here! The Crop tool is now available within the Flash header, this should make choosing the portion of the image you’d like to display in the feature gallery a simple task. You no longer have to use an outside application to resize and crop an image to the suggested dimensions. Enjoy!

The Comment E-mail address is NO longer required for a comment submitted to an Online Classroom Class Blog. We realize that some students (especially those in lower grades) don’t have an e-mail address.

bhughes — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 18:19:06 +0000

We have new Slideshow gallery that can be applied to all Photo Galleries on your District SchoolPointe site. Please contact us if you’d like this added to your web site. It will automatically scroll through all images with the ability to pause the slideshow at any time. Users can also override the slideshow by using the Next and Previous options below the caption, as well as the buttons that overlay the image when a user hovers over the image. Here is an example of the new Slideshow gallery on a live web site:

This CMS Update will go in place on February 2nd 2010 between 4-6 PM.

IMAGES WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO BE IN .JPG FORMAT

Note: The new Photo Gallery Management tool requires Flash 9 or above be installed on your computer,

there will be an link to the old Gallery Management area if you unable to use the new feature.

It will prompt you if it’s not installed.

We will convert all the other Gallery Management areas to the new format once we receive feedback about the new method, please let us know ASAP if you encounter any issues or have any concerns.

-You’ll notice we’ve restructured several pages to a more ideal layout, allowing for more room to update content.

-The toolbar (icon) layout in the text editor will be updated for the majority of editors, making it easier to locate features, also

removing some unnecessary space.
