We’re always looking for ways to improve our existing functionality inside of Wapple Canvas. We develop plenty of new stuff, but it’s always good to upgrade older features to keep them up to date.

Inside of Canvas, the graphic chunk functionality used to rely on the fact that you’d uploaded a graphic before telling our mobile rendering engine what size you wanted to display it.

But what about if you didn’t want to upload a graphic – you might want to just reference another image on another site directly by its URL.

So we’ve made a small change to the graphic chunk and added a setting so you can use a URL as the graphic source. You get all of the same controls over the size and alt text, just you don’t need to upload it first – hopefully simplifying the whole process.

Get in touch if you’ve used this feature or let us know what you think and whether there are any more changes you’d like.
