Content Editor
In a number of places within ClubExpress, you can use the Content Editor to create fully formatted items, such as blog posts, blast emails and event descriptions.
Instead of forcing you to learn complex HTML coding, ClubExpress makes it easy to build this page, using a software tool called a content editor that is similar to a word processor.
The ClubExpress Content Editor allows you to perform the following tasks:
- Select text font, size, and color;
- Specify the bold, italic and underline attributes;
- Select background color;
- Indent and outdent;
- Specify numbered or bulleted lists;
- Insert horizontal lines;
- Insert and resize images;
- Insert links to external websites and email;
- Use your computer’s clipboard, including cut, copy and paste;
- Undo and redo changes;
- Insert special characters;
- Insert “smileys”, small graphics designed to display an emotion;
- Spellcheck your text;
- View your page in design mode, HTML mode or Preview mode;
- Zoom the text for finer control;
- Print the text being edited;
- Specify left, center, right or fully justified text;
- Insert and specify the properties of tables and individual cells;
- Insert group boxes;
- Convert text to uppercase or lowercase;
- Convert text to superscript or subscript;
- Find and Find & Replace text;
- Create complex styles to explicitly control the appearance of your text;
- Track word and character counts.
More experienced web designers can view and modify the underlying HTML code created when you edit pages with this tool.
Note: When you create or edit content in the editor, you will see a session timeout warning after 55 minutes. Press the appropriate button to extend your session for another 55 minutes. If you do not press the button within 5 minutes, your session will expire and all changes will be lost. In general, we recommend saving your content on a regular basis. Saving and then editing again every 20-30 minutes is a small price to pay when the alternative might be to lose an hour or more of work.
