Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Going crazy trying to create a link

A little more calm now since my presentation is over (I have another one in two days, though so you might see some new desperate message here), I can only say that Ernie is totally right: this editor leaves a lot to be desired :-}

I tried to do what Dean recommended and it worked (thanks Dean) but it gets to be really confusing. I don't think this should be a priority since getting LAMS to do things such as conditional activities seems like a more interesting goal, but I think little things like this will have to be improved in the end if LAMS is going to be used by a wider public to start creating sophisticated learning activities. I know it is already being used in real courses in some institutions but the average teacher/professor would have a fit trying to create a web page with this editor.

Of course there are ways around like creating your HTML with a different editor and then cut and paste to the LAMS notice board but it's not very nice/comfortable (and it is not what LAMS deserves :-}).

Please continue to post any interesting little problems you have. I'm glad to be trying to help find solution for these things while you are under pressure, rather than me. :)

This editor is a little quirky. It would take more training to get some of my clients up to speed on this than it does on moodle. But it does do some cool stuff, so it is worth it.
