I'm able to add images to the modal but I'm not able to format them. I would like to suggest that you do images similarly to how you do video input. Here's why: I'm using this module for my school's website and I can easily style the css to put images where I want them to go and fit inside the body of the modal. if I select an image that's too big, I just go into the source section and change the size. However, the main person that needs to be able to add images is my boss who is NOT computer savy. I set up a template, where she can change the text and it would work fine... but she can easily accidently delete the image as she's updating the text. When you want to add video to the modal, you simply paste in a Youtube link and you're done. Images do seem to require some understanding of what you're doing.

I would suggest that you add the ability to paste in the link to an image which will format itself on the modal without the user having to do anything. I love the module as is, but I think other people I work with would have trouble adding and properly formatting the images. It's not as easy as adding video.

If you make this change, I will happily get you that coffee!

In the image, I provided, you'll see what I mean. Notice how I was able to get the image on the page and format it. It works just the way i need it to. However, if my boss is changing the text, (pressing the backspace key) you can see how the image could easily get deleted and she would have no idea how to get it back. To provide context for why this is important, lets say it's 5am and the we need to close down school because there's snow. We want to quickly communicate to parents that school is closed because they frequently check the website. So at 5am she would log on, and all she'd need to do is change the text of the modal-- the other formatting I took care of. But in pressing the backspace key--she could easily delete the picture and throw things off. With the video you don't have this problem because to get a video all you need to do is paste in the URL and it formats itself. Can this be done with the images?

    Hello @JSpellman2 , I hope you're doing well!

    I'm sorry for the delay, I was traveling, this time on San Francisco, down the California coast to Los Angeles, and then to Vegas. YAY

    Your suggestion is interesting and makes sense. Assigned to me and I'll take a look about implementing the images via URL, similar with YouTube. This would definitely make it more intuitive for editors

    Regarding the coffee, don't worry. You can pay at Starbucks when I'm back in the US! At this moment, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could give a star on the project page, as it will encourage further development

    Thank you very much for your feedback and for sharing your experience. I'll keep you updated

    If you need anything else, feel free to post here ok?!

    Best regards
