Highlights

Alert/notify on Image upload exceeds 500KB of size

To improve over all performance on Loree Editor Interface, Loree suggest the users to upload the images up to 500KB. When it exceeds 500KB, you will get an alert saying “The image size exceeds 500KB.Note: Adding larger image can impact overall performance.“

 

 

By click on “Discard” on alert, will discard the upload process. For “Continue to Upload“ will upload the image even more than 500KB.

This has been implemented on both Designer view and Simplified view of Loree.

Removed default alternative text for Image related blocks

Earlier, by default Loree sets alternative text for images as “Alternative text“. So that this passed the accessibility issues by default.

After getting valuable feedbacks from users, the same has been set as “null“ by default. When user drags an image block, it will have Alternative text as Null.

In this case, user can check the accessibility report and they can update the text as per their own.

Hint on Image Uploader modal to update Alternative Text

We have removed default alternative text values for an images. In this case, it will trigger an error when user runs Accessibility Checker in Loree.

This hint text will notify the users to update alternative text for images in the Image Uploader modal.

In the below screen you can see the hint at the footer section.

 

Removed default title value for video blocks

Earlier, by default Loree sets title for video blocks as “video content“. So that this passed the accessibility issues by default.

After getting valuable feedbacks from users, the same has been set as “null“ by default. When user drags video block into Editor, it will have title value as Null.

In this case, user can check the accessibility report and they can update the title as per their own.

After we removed default title attribute value for Video Blocks, we modified the title and link fields as mandate on select video modal. So that, when user inserting any HTML5 Source, Youtube or Vimeo using Select Video modal it will not allow the users to insert without Title value.

 

Note: Also title values for videos can be added using Edit code modal and Accessibility Checker modal.

Removal of Flex feature from Loree and Dashboard

Loree contains Flex related parameters to support responsive contents. In the middle of time, we have implemented Bootstrap classes for Loree blocks to support responsive on course pages.

Considering the above, we have removed existing Flex feature from Loree editor interface and Dashboard Roles and Features page.

In the style manager panel, you will not see Flex container.

Sample Screens:

 

Text-wrap on all over content within Editor interface

When a word or URL length is more than the element width size, it overlaps the content within Editor.

In Canvas, by default they are managing text-wrap on all over contents in page. The same has been implemented for Loree Editor interface.

Before :

After :

Replaced “Banner” Block by “Full-Width Image” Block

In Loree content blocks, the existing “Banner“ block has been renamed as “Full-Width Image Block“. By dragging this block, user can create banners and other images as full-width of 100%.

It allows the users to modify the height of an element.

 

Issues resolved in Loree v2001.6

LUTS - 1061 : Responsive bugs on Image aspect ratio

  • The image aspect ratio is not as per their original image size. In which we set width and height as “auto“ by default. Also, we set max-width as 100% to maintain the aspect ratio.

  • For now, all the image blocks will be responsive as their original image size with max-width of 100%.

LUTS - 917 : Close button on colour palate sets #000000 as default for background image

  • When user select an element and opens Background colour palate, by click on “X” (cancel) on colour palate applies #000000 as background colour.

  • This has been fixed and Loree has default background colour for all their blocks as #ffffff.

LUTS - 1099 : Title field on Select Video modal not shown their values

  • When user add title for HTML5 Source (or) YouTube (or) Vimeo videos, the title value not shown in Select Video modal. The field always shows empty.

  • The same has been fixed and released.

LUTS - 1098 : Colour contrast related Accessibility issues on Headers and List elements

  • When user using headers (or) list elements within Loree Editor Interface and runs the Accessibility Checker doesn’t validate the colour contrast.

  • Now this has been fixed

LUTS - 769 : Custom fonts not shown their rendered view on Table edit modal

  • The custom fonts on tables are not shows their rendered view when user edit the table properties. We fixed the rendered view issue and delivered.
