Description
As discussed a long time ago on the me-list:
—
I would like to remove the teaser image definition from the page info
dialog. Instead I propose to simply use the first image found in the
main section as the teaser image. I believe this would improve
usability and reduce complexity.
- if you have images in an article / event / glossary item / news, the
first image is probably the one that is most relevant to the article
and hence useful as a teaser image - if you have no image (for a news maybe?) you probably don't want to
tease using a contrived image that is only used for the teaser, so its
ok to use no image at all. - if you don't like the image to be used in the teaser or really want
one even though the teased page doesn't show one, you can still
overwrite it from the teaser paragraph
From my own experience in building the new demo site I can say that
it is foremost confusing when the teaser image doesn't match the image
in the article, and it is additional and rather needless work.
Now, there may be cases where you really need a specific teaser image
which actually is used in more than one or two locations, in which
case it might actually make sense to have that teaser image assigned
to the article instead of selecting it manually from the DMS for each
teaser - but I reckon this is rare enough to either do it (manually)
or - in that specific case) - add the feature to a custom page info
dialog.

As a new and further idea, we could later allow to select a teaser image from any image found within the content f the teased page, much like Facebook allows you to scroll through images found from a "shared" web page. (that would be a nifty new control)
