Course glimpse from course content about richie HOT 5 CLOSED

@sveetch a few elements that could help us solve the issues you raise:

• It seems that the "render_placeholder" template tag can be assigned to a variable (see https://github.com/divio/django-cms/blob/7888ab8421bb836c8f7a1127d9a2bf4d4bbdf23e/cms/templatetags/cms_tags.py#L1103). Which means that you should be able to trunk it with a templatetag when displaying the variable?

{% render_placeholder "course_syllabus" as course_syllabus %}
{{ course_syllabus|truncatechars_html:150 }}

• For the preview image, it's a bit more tricky but we could add a placeholder in the template of the course and wrap it with {% if current_page.publisher_is_draft %} so that it only appears on the draft page. You won't see it on the public page but you can still display it in your course glimpse with a {% render_placeholder %} template tag... smart leh? And what would be very nice is to display these "draft only elements" in a special materialized block on top of the draft course detail view. WDYT?

@sampaccoud syllabus are free HTML content, mostly paragraphs and i don't think you can correctly truncate this. There is https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/templates/builtins/#truncatechars-html but the example is about only one paragraph, not sure how it will work with two or more paragraphs.

For the image preview displayed only in draft, well yeah it's "smart", but as you said it also it's tricky :) I'm not very confident about, in my opinions the draft should reflect what will be showed in published version, not to include additional information that will go elsewhere.

We have to take a little more time to think about these solutions.

So with more discussion about this, we finally choose to add image preview as a placeholder that will show only in draft mode (with conditional "if" blocks around placeholder) that have to be showed as a preview. No short resume text to add since, in fact, course glimpse card don't have to show a resume, i was wrong because it's just the organization name.

@sveetch I have the feeling this issue is now fixed can you confirm?
