Known Limitations / Upcoming Features

We have a lot of new ideas that are coming (like alot!) Below are some of the ideas we thought we'd mention so you'd know what to expect. There are many more that we're not ready to talk about yet (have to have some surprises...)

  1. The HTML block currently only supports editing the active HTML. We'll be adding support for editing historical and contexted items soon.
  2. We'll be adding support for many more mobile blocks soon.
  3. Rock v14 added support for categories on Lava shortcodes. We'll show those categories in a future update of the plugin (which will require v14).

What is Magnus?

Configuration

The Magnus Editor provides several configuration options to ensure that the highest level of security is provided. The options are discussed below.

  1. Security Role- This setting allows you to select a Rock security role to limit who has access to use the remote editor.
  2. Enabled Virtual Filesystems- Determines which filesystems you would like to use within Magnus.
  3. Allowed Physical Directories- When the Server Filesystem is enabled this setting will determine which directories are available for editing.
  4. Allowed IP Subnets- This setting determines which IP address/networks are allowed to access the Magnus editor. You should strong limit the networks available in this setting.
  5. Enable SQL Access- This determines if access via the Azure Data Studio plugin will be allowed.
  6. SQL Security Role- This setting allows you to select a Rock security role to limit who has access to run SQL queries.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you configure the server in VS Code the username and password you provide must be a database login.
Most likely not. We're a bit limited in what we can support from inside of VS Code.
