Image Posting

[Sir Real]

I wonder if this is possible.  I know that I can post images from my own site...

...but is it possible to post images that are on the Wiki?

[Visitor Q]

You mean images from the Wiki into the forum pages?

[Sir Real]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

[Visitor Q]

How's this?

[Sir Real]

That's what I needed.  Didn't know if that fancy php code would work that way.

I'll bet it would work in the CPG forums, too.

     OK, for images from the Wiki to the forum but how do you post an image from your home computer to the forum?

Testing for image loading from another site.



YEA, it worked!

There's always the "Attach" function.  I believe that works pretty good, too.

     Well, y'know, I thought about that but I figured that just attaching it wouldn't make it show up in the msg. itself, but rather you'd have to click on it to bring it up in another window like you do with attachments in many e-mail programs, but maybe that's not the way it works here, so I'll try attaching a graphic & see what happens.  Thanx for the tip!

Dang!  I've been having a helluva time trying up upload a copy of the cover of Tales of Sex & Death, #2.  Put one in the thumbs dir. but it came out too big.  Put one in the covers dir. & the name changed:  the "&" became an underscore instead.  Weird!  I'm definitely doing something wrong but not sure what it is at this pt.

Only letters and numbers in the names of files/pictures.

Heya ProJunior,
I think I see the problem.  For every comix listed, there should be two separate images; a small one, and a big one.  The small image, or thumbnail, is what's displayed on the comix listing.  The big image is what's displayed when you click on the thumbnail image.

In general, I like to make my thumbnails 100px high.

[ProJunior]

Great!  Thanx for the tips from both of you.  Actually, I was starting to figure out that there needed to be 2 sep. images but now I'll have to learn how to downsize my covers to 100px high.  Also, I'll now know not to use "&" anymore.  <g>  All I have left to figure out is the syntax to make the images appear in the listing & also to make the big ones come up when you click them.  It's a learning curve.  <g>

As far as the syntax goes, have you seen the Wiki Tutorial Pages?
