I just want to bring this topic for elaboration. SC is very limited in mixing the data objects with HTML/CSS
For example: if I want to have a page with several sections like this:
- SC Form
- some html/css
-SC Grid
- Embedded video
- then underneath another Grid
This is just an example or mixing objects…
For something like this SC is in my opinion super limited, so the idea is how to eventually make it work with other tools which are much better for formatting and presentation. On top of that we also have mobile version and SC mobile approach (in my opinion) is completely wrong.
I know the Forms and grids can be positioned in blocks/pages, but if I want to add some HTML content it is not really an easy task. I am not very good in HTML/CSS and I wish there are simp[ly an HTML hooks which allow to add it. So far the only method of adding and positioning HTML is in the Header/Footer. Possibly there are other methods, but I am looking for something which is FAST/EASY and on the RAD level (not a hand coding level).
I would like to hear your opinions, and perhaps we can somehow influence NETMAKE to get into improving it. I use some WYSIWYG tools for HTML and it makes me very sad and upset that I am so limited in SC with the features. No sue if Block can be used for that purpose. There is also another problem, what added references to CSS/Js get deleted when the App is generated (if the HEML/CSS is sharing the same folder with the App). When I place my references in subfolders then I have to modify the path to CSS/JS/HTML files and doing so for 50 or more pages is an absolute waste of time.
These days CSS HEML is separated in subfolders (which actually is a good idea). Using in-line styling would bypass the folders’ problem but almost nobody is using it “inline styling” days.
CSS has grown into a monster. I wonder if somebody has a better workflow to mixing App code with HTML/CSS
