Use page or component for images? - cobber - 2016-03-20
Just wondering about the simplest way a user could add an image to editable areas of the site.
It occurred to me that many users don't know html, css or php.
So one way to allow them to add an image to a specific part of a page would be to create a new page, then use the
Code:
?php getPageContent('newpage'); ?>This way they could use the CKEditor and upload an image hassle free.
For me I would prefer to use a component, however the user would not have the option to use the CKEditor
for adding an image
Any thoughts?

3.4 will have snippets which are html components.
your idea is pretty clever, could always use specialpages or cutomfields plugins

The Simple Input Tab plugin was what I ended up using to allow the user to add content to the sidebar and/or footer area.
(It is similar to Custom Field's WYSIWYG field, but with the added bonus of the tabbed interface having a more comfortable, familiar feel for her.)
