I had a client ask me if it was possible to link to individual blog posts via the link list in the wysiwyg editor (right now you can link to the blogs themselves). I told him to just copy and paste the url in the link url field for now.

My first thought is that doing this would just be too much info in that link list select box. That baby already got a lot in it.

Thoughts?

This is a constant tension for us to maintain. Obviously, we could put every last bit of content in the system in that list, but I would be afraid, I think rightfully so, that in a lot of cases, it would just get overloaded to the point of uselessness. In the case of the dropdown in tinymce, we are especially limited in how we can display the data, since it’s interfacing with it in the limited fashion they provide.

In any case, suffice to say we are always looking out for ways that we can give users the most flexibility to manage their content, while also making it super easy to do so.

what about in the “link list” select menu having a list of options like
“page”
“sermon”
“article”
“event”
“blog”
“image”
etc.

choosing one of those options could display a second select menu with choices based on what they selected above

maybe too complicated? or hacky?

Oooohhh, like a filter… that’s an interesting idea. Obviously a UI challenge, but I’ll make a note of it.
