Attachments working almost everywhere

[Ned]

Just to prove I can upload an attachment in a section other than Admin.

Great photo Ned! See my reply to your other post.

 

[Ron]

Great shot Ned.  Did you or did Lorna take that one.

 

[Ned]

Sorry, we can't take credit for that photo.  I got it from the internet, but don't ask me where.

 

[Ron]

Still a great shot.

Lets see if this works.

Hi Folks,

Great photos, but here I've got a question.  How does one place a photo image within the text of a message, rather than as an attachment.  I've found the tool button, Insert Image, but haven't figured out what exactly is needed to make the image display.  Suggestions, anyone?

I have the forum configuration set to not display attached images. I did this in the interests of folks on slow connections, so they have the choice of downloading the attachment or not, but still get to read the message.

If you really must include an image in a message, I suggest it be a small one and, if you want folks to see a larger one, make the small image a link to the larger one.

If you're inserting an image with no link:

{img}http://www.rvforum.net/images/bus-thumb.jpg{img}

If you're inserting an image as a link:

{url=http://www.rvforum.net/images/bus2.jpg}{img]http://www.rvforum.net/images/bus-thumb.jpg[/img}{/url}

Replace my curly brackets with square ones. Here's how the latter would look to the reader:



If you use the insert image tool, it merely inserts the

tags, and you need to put the address of the image between them.

Hi Tom,

From your message I take it that the address for the image MUST be a web address.  IOW, I cannot use the path on my computer hard drive where the image is located.  Right?

Correct George. I need to figure out a way for folks to upload a pair of photos (full size and thumbnail) and to be able to grab the addresses to pop in the code within the message.
