Deprecated Experience Manager functionality
Some functionality is deprecated in SDL Tridion Sites 9.
- Creating a Multimedia Component that references an external resource
- The Classic user interfaces, Content Manager Explorer and Experience Manager, allow users to reference an external binary resource when creating a Multimedia Component, rather than uploading that resource into Content Manager. This outdated feature, which the External Content Library or ECL feature also covers, is deprecated as of SDL Tridion Sites 9.5. For that reason, this option is also absent from the new Experience Space user interface.
- Font list feature
-
As of SDL Tridion Sites 9, by default, authors and editors no longer see a dropdown list from which they can select a font face in the Text Field Properties popup, nor in the Format Ribbon toolbar in Form View. (They can, however, still select all other font properties, such as size, color and so on.)
The reason for this change is that changes to the font face should not be applied by explicit font face selection, but should be managed through CSS styling instead, and applied using the Style dropdown in the Format Ribbon toolbar.
You can reinstate this feature by opening %TRIDION_HOME%\web\WebUI\Editors\CME\Configuration\CME.config for editing. Inside the
<customconfiguration>section of this file, add the following element:<enablefontlist>true</enablefontlist>. After saving and closing the file, restart your website to reinstate the feature.
