Inserting images

This article is only about the special questions relating to the use of images.

Creating articles with images is still a little difficult because you have to

  • upload the images to the server before you can insert them
  • use the correct path

The IMCE module makes these things fairly easy to handle.

  • Open the article in FCK-Editor. Click on the Button with the "mountain" to insert an image

 

  • This opens a window in which you need to enter the path to the image. You can now upload an image by clicking on search server

 

  • This will open a second window which allows you to upload an image

 

  • click on Upload to open an extra item which allows you to select a local file for upload.

 

  • select a local file and then click on upload and you will see a thumbnail of the uploaded image

 

  • click on this file and then click on "send to FCKEditor"

 

  • This will show you the image in the Preview of FCK-Image selection. Here you should add an alt-text and the image can be resized: Here you can also select orientation in the text and several other features

 

  • Click on OK to see the image in the edit-window.


 

  • Here the image can still be "resized" by pulling at the corners or at the sides

Beware !!

Things to be aware of:

  • the image is not really introduced into the text as in word, but by the above procedure the link and the path are introduced into the html-source code.
  • This means that the images MUST be kept in the original location to  where they were uploaded.
  • Following locations have been fixed:
    • sites/default/files/images/awr_images for AWR-images
    • sites/default/files/images/nodes for other images
