Add more Magazine macro types

Hey Angela Gaida
these are really good news and I am happy you took care of that! Thanks :) Still, I've got some more feedback: Is it possible to arrange images next to text like it is possible in normal page layouts? Then it would be perfect
Angela Gaida
Linda Dorn: I don't think we'll support putting modules side by side anytime soon, it would involve more of a rework of the underlying structures than first meets the eye. But in the long run it is a neat idea, I agree.

Hey Linda Dorn,
although you asked for a lot more items, and I can see them being useful of course, I at least have a little bit of good news for you. Since the last Release of the Suite (version 3.4) you can embed pictures into the magazine.

Hello there :)
is it planned to put pictures into the magazine?
Right now this is the only reason for us to not use it. All other options can be solved with making use of links.

Angela Gaida: We send a monthly newsletter with all blog post and microblog entries from the last month, so maybe a macro that easily lists those would be perfect. Another great option would be to have the cutomised user list macro as we could use it for displaying a list of new colleagues. Same applies for example for the label macros so we could easily add a label "newmagazine" to all pages that should occur there. Also, we are missing the possibility of adding pictures.
It's a very nice idea and I am looking forward to further developments :)

Hey Constance,
thanks for your question. It's a valid one :) Right now, the possibilities are limited, yes. Feedback like yours is exactly what we want to collect on this basis. Can you elaborate a bit more? Do you have screenshots or sketches that show what you imagine there? That would be really helpful. If you would prefer that, we can also schedule a video call so we can better understand your use cases and the kind of content you would like to integrate.
The same goes for everyone else, of course. If you have ideas, please don't hold back, we'd love to hear them :)
