Custom HTML Sandbox Powertoy

Custom HTML Sandbox - Powertoy Module

The Custom HTML Power Toy is designed to allow you to add a sandbox module to your Space in which you can enter text, link to images, and use other HTML features. The Custom HTML Power Toy supports all of the same HTML that you can enter into a Blog entry and can be moved around your Space as a separate module, just like a list or any other Spaces module. Additionally you can control the Title of this module and whether the borders for this module are displayed or not.

Follow these steps to add this Power Toy to your Space:

  1. Log into Passport and Edit your Space.

  2. In the Address bar of your web browser add the text “&powertoy=sandbox” to the end of the displayed URL.

  3. Click the Go button next to your web browser address bar.

  4. Once the page has finished reloading, click on the Customize tab in your Space.

  5. In the Modules drop down menu in the Customize tab there should be a listing for PowerToy: Custom HTML. Click the word Add next to it and then click the Save button.

I have some HTML for my sandbox, it displays a background picture, contains abit of text and some hyperlinks.

I enter the HTML and click save, all is fine.
However when I preview my space or leave the edit mode the HTML sandbox is blank, I return to edit mode and the HTML has all gone.

Is there a reason WL Spaces is deleting the HTML from my custom sandbox and does anyone know of a way to fix it?

Regards, Andy

Are you using Firefox when you are editing the sandbox. I had the same problem, it refused to "save" my saves. But it helped to edit in IE instead.

That was the problem, can't believe I didn't think of that! Well thanks.

BTW, does anyone know what the current character length limit is on the HTML powertoy?

Hi. Why are the powertoys unavailable without messing with the WLMSpace URL? Lots of

WLMSpacERS use them, so I don't really see the reason to leave them

hidden.
