Hello,
How can users change the text size (and fonts) in Dynamic content? And when I try tp put a picture in Dynamic contents (.jpg), I only get an image icon instead of the picture (I can see the preview picture, but when I click Save, only an icon is shown.) Why is that?
Thanks in advance!

Hello M.H.,
The text size and font is preset. Formatting is restricted to Bold, Italic, Strike-through, and Underline.
How are you trying to add the picture to the Dynamic Content Object? You can only link to an image which is already hosted online... it's not possible to add an image directly.
What is the URL for the .jpg in question?
Kind regards,
Paul

Hello Paul, and thanks your answer.
Not being able to change text size and font is less than useless. I can't understand why a so basic thing is not part of the text editing box.. But I hope there will a solution/update to this soon. :)
Yes, I paste the link of a .jpf file when I add a picture, but for some reasons it wont work. The link is (for example):
http://cafepavarotti.com/images/teater-den_spanske_flue-forsiden.jpg or
http://cafepavarotti.com/images/teater-den_triste_kongen-forsiden.jpg

Hello Michal,
A few others have expressed the same desire to be able to specify text size and font, etc. - it would be useful if you could open an 'Idea' post to ensure that your comments reach the attention of the developers for possible inclusion in a future update.
As regards the .jpg problem, I have done some testing of my own using the links you forwarded, and I also experience the same issue which you report... i.e. the image file is not displayed, except for an empty placeholder.
On further investigation it appears that WebSite X5 has set the link to the image on the page in the following format:
http://wwwwebsitename.com/"http://cafepavarotti.com/images/teater-den_spanske_flue-forsiden.jpg/"
Clearly the formatting of the URL is wrong... The punctuation shouldn't be present, 'http://' shouldn't be repeated, and the trailing slash after the image filename also looks incorrect.
I will mark this thread for Claudio's attention.
Thank you for highlighting this issue.
Best regards,
Paul

Thank you for your quick answer. It's good that I'm not the only one with this problem, then maybe it will be faster and easier to solve it :)
Hello M. H.,
Can you please write me the link to the page with the dynamic content object where you get this issue and add there the image so I can check exactly the issue?
Many thanks!

Hello Claudio,
Here is the link. The dynamic content is at the bottom of the page (below the banner) with the text blablabla and the "picture" below it:

Hello Michal,
This depends on the Magic quotes function which is activated on the server. Our developers are working to fix it so also in case this function is active it will work correctly.
Many thanks!
