instructions for posting images

are there simple, step-by-step instructions written somewhere for adding an image to an article. Nothing fancy, just basic inclusion of a thumbnail image that links to a full size image.

Thanks,

m

Re: instructions for posting images

I wouldn’t know of any instructions but I’d recommend Mary’s plug-ins upm_image and upm_image_popper which will make this very easy.

Download and install them and take a look at the helpfile. Basically it works like this:

upm_image_popper adds an Insert Image link to the Write tab. Click that and in the pop-up window scroll to your image. Then in the Insert column click popup. That should place a tag in your article’s body or excerpt that when published will render a thumbnail, linked to a larger pop-up version of the image.

Cheers Martin

Re: instructions for posting images

1. Upload your image, save it
2. In the Content>Images screen, look under the header ID. This is the ID of your image. Copy the number.
3. In Content>Write, enter <txp:image id="theID" /> for a full size image or <txp:thumbnail id="theID" /> for a thumbnail in your article.

Edit: Didn’t see “thumbnail” ‘til after variaas posted

jm gave a great solution, but if you wanted to have the thumbnail then I would suggest using <txp:thumbnail />. You can read the documentation at the Textbook page about it.
