Hi, I had a try...

Questions it couldn't answer:

Q: "I'd like to make certain files in the 'assets library' available to all website visitors. Is there an application or includelet that can do this?" (I don't know the answer to this, it is a thing I'd like to do some time in the future but haven't looked into yet, so I am not sure if there is an available answer in the docs!)

Q: "What DNS server is the site using? I see the new A record for my custom domain fine on the Cloudflare and Google ones but it seems not to be picked up on your site yet." (very reasonable for it not to know, I'd rummaged through the available help pages and some forum threads already without figuring out any details)

Here's one it did answer:

Q: "I have been using the photo album includelet to add images to a page. Are there ways to integrate images alongside text, for example in a sidebar or as part of the post body with a specific class that I could add custom CSS for?"

A: "To integrate images alongside text on your webpage, you can use the WYSIWYG editor to add images from the Assets Library. You can insert images anywhere that uses the WYSIWYG editor, either directly into the post body or in a sidebar. Use the Insert/Edit Image button to select and place your image, and adjust its settings like size and alignment.

For more advanced layouts, you can use content blocks like Carousel, Accordion, or Grid to display images and text in interesting ways. These includelets allow you to organize content in a structured manner, which can be customized further with CSS.

If you want to apply custom CSS, you can add a specific class to your images or content blocks. This allows you to style them according to your needs, such as adjusting their position or appearance on the page. You can upload your custom CSS file into the Assets Library and apply it to your site. Let me know if you need further assistance!"

It provides a link to: https://e-voice.org.uk/documentation/help-sheets/slider/

This seems like a pretty useful answer to me. As far as I can tell you can not add a specific class to images that have been added through the WSYIWYG editor, and should instead add any formatting to them inline by right clicking on them and selecting "Advanced" on the image menu. I think it's reasonable to assume that the instructions about custom CSS are meant to apply to the previous paragraph about content blocks, though.

Thanks for the feedback.

Your question on how to make files available from the assets library is interesting - and I'd be interested to know more about what you have in mind here.

For images you can add them to pages individually, and documents you can create links to, and audio/video media can also be embedded on a page. But maybe you had a sort of "file download" widget or something in mind?

I'd be open to suggestions here - maybe there's a neat way of making a little file listing or something that could go on a page.

Thanks

Joe
