I figured out that if you bulk upload saved content <--! --> for a rich text field, it will kill that field. So that basically does what I want, disable the field so people can't type in it based on which autofill they choose. Only problem is that I have to change every field to a multiline rich text field.

Is there a text or tag I can put into rich fields like <<last_name>> that will pull from the user's profile and replace the text within the paragraph? I know there's a way to do it with one entire field, but I'm looking for something more flexible so it can be assigned to a portion of text within a rich text field. That way as a user picks an autofill option, it loads a paragraph like "dear <<name>> etc." and it will personalize the info there.

I’m trying to make a button/field collapse html code. Here’s two ways I’ve figured out how to do it: method 1 user selects “-->" option and then “<!--“ option which will insert a <!-- code before the code I want to remove and inserts a --> after it. This removes the code entirely. method 2 i design the code to be within a table so that a user can select “visibility:collapse;” option to insert that code in the table style to collapse it. neither of these options seem ideal because method 1 needs two options to be activated to collapse the code and method 2 requires me to put all elements in a table which will be hard to format correctly. Is there a easier way to disable, hide, or collapse a code?

Here's an example of what i was looking to do. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_input_disabled

I would like to put a modal window for a youtube video tutorial on my marcomcentral homepage. Is that possible? I think I need to edit the CSS, but I don't know where to go for that. Thanks for any help

this is a very interesting feature, thank you. it could work, I'll play with it. Right now, I just fill a field with <!-- don't use this field with this autofill -->

Thanks for the idea Lisa, never thought about using those! I'm trying to get fields to turn off and on depending on the autofills chosen, not really a certain group of users.

Is there a way to disable or make a field unusable using a input into a field? I'm trying to get Autofills to prevent users from using certain fields.

Hi I'm trying to do something similar. Where is the the "catalog" area for Custom Store Copy in the manager? I can't seem to find it.

ok, showed the problem to our web team and they say it's probably because marcomcentral is https (secured domain) so anything that appears within the website needs to be cleared by marcomcentral.

thanks Mads, but I'm getting the same result, an empty frame. See link. Really hoped this worked, what's your code look like? https://www.dropbox.com/s/izjz8p10dbfkr34/Screen%20Shot%202016-04-15%20at%2010.00.27%20AM.png?dl=0

Hi Dan, I'm trying to use this code. For some reason when users leave the field blank or empty, it shows the "text does not fit". Know how to fix that?

I was told by customer support "Actually you might be able to use iFrames in the Custom Content area of your portal. We recommend testing it in one of your training portals, you can just place in your HTML or CSS and link it to the website you said is already in an iFrame. If you need us to write the code for you, you can reach out to your BRM and she can schedule something for you." But I've tried this and it doesn't seem to work so far. I'll let you know how it goes.

Is there a way to put a iframe to another website within MarcomCentral? I tried and it just showed an empty box. Any alternatives?

Thanks, I ran the report, didn't have the SKU appended. And the field option has generate SKU area set to use for SKU. I have multiple products set to this, none report back with the SKU appended. Is there an option I'm missing to turn on?

Hi support, I’m looking to add a field to a SKU to one of my products so I can track what autofills are being used. I made a field (BrandSKU) and assigned it to generate a SKU in field options, but when I download my report it doesn’t show. It only shows the SKU Prefix with a dash and nothing after. I thought it would add the field SKU after that, but it doesn't. I think it’s something simple I’m missing, but I don’t see it. Thanks for any help on this.

I just want to confirm if this is true: What happened is that MarcomCentral is designed for print, so it automatically measures graphic fields in inches. Even though the art I gave it is correct at 1000x1000 it converts that number to inches and then converts that to pixels again making it 1001x1001 at 72dpi. All my digital products upload fields are off like this. Is there any way around this besides lowering the resolution to 71 to give it a "wrong" dimension of 987 x 987? Thanks for the help.

For some reason when I put nothing in certain fields gives the "text does not fit" message.

oh nevermind, there was some code in oncopyfit rule i didn't know what it does that someone wrote it there. it must have adjusted the text. i deleted it and it behaves like i expect now.

Thanks Dan, I tried the code. At first it seemed it worked well and if I put a lot of copy it would show the "text does not fit" message. I noticed however that it shrinks the text a bit before actually putting the message shows, so there's some sort of tolerance on adjust text to fit. That kind of messes up my formatting. Is there a way to make it show that message just as soon as text is overflowing?

In FusionPro, I know there's a way to set overflow text "discard text that does not fit" but is there a way to make the whole text inputted not show because it does not fit? I'm trying to make people really notice when their text is not fitting a space so they accidentally don't send partial paragraphs to print. Thanks for any help!

What am I missing here... I think it's simple thing I might be overlooking. it's a marcomcentral problem maybe.

sorry i thought i was on the marcom central forum. this is a question for when its in marcom. i'll repost it.

I was playing around the press configuration settings and when I change JPG Quality from 100 to 70, the file that outputs is smaller in dimensions, it used to be 2800 × 780 and now it outputs 400 × 111. Isn't it just supposed to change the quality setting and not the dimensions? Is there a way to change the quality without changing the size? Thanks for any help.
