Player Spotlight Feature Requests

Started playing with the Player Spotlight today and would like to request some additional features to make managing the pages less frustrating to work with.

Editing Home Page
- Editing the home page is difficult at best. The editor provided seems to have a mind of its own.
- Does not support CSS
- Image resizing makes it difficult to put text in the place you want it, i.e. player name in the location of the spotlight of the image.
- Would like to have a place for listing "Graduating Class", most coaches ask for this information
- Would like to have a place for Bio, again coaches ask for this
- Would like to have a place for Reference Letters, another coach request
- Would be nice if the background was semi-transparent so that you could actually see portions of the background picture. Otherwise defining a background pic is useless. All content would not be transparent, i.e. the tables with the stats, etc. only the background definition.

I have added Bio and Reference letters but had to link to own personal website for those files adding a layer of difficulty. Also there is a difference in formatting between IE and Firefox.

Any ideas/comments?

We have tried to include an editor that most users can use (works much like a word processor), but you can always just switch it to HTML mode and put in any HTML you like if this editor is not working well for you. (You can use an external editor, then just copy/paste the HTML from that if it helps.)

The Graduating Class and Bio can both be included in the HTML on the Home Page, and you can use anchor tags to make hot links to them.

For reference letters, you can scan them as images and upload them and use them on the Home Page. We have a simple "graphics manager" in the Settings page if you don't want the reference letters to show in the "Photos" section. Just go to Settings and select any of the Folder icons, and you can upload images there. You can then right click the images to get the URL, and include them in your home page.

The background image is actually intended to be more of a "texture" that sits behind things than a "photograph".
