thumbnail in content text page + large picture

[Gregor]

Hi,

I created a content page and typed my story. Now I want to add a picture (or more) between the text. If I create a picture via the menu on the content-page, than the picture is not very sharp after resizing. I have also installed Singaporegallery. Is there a wat to place a small picture in the text area which, if clicked on the picture, can be enlarged? I don't want to show a gallery in the text, just a couple of picture among the text.

Thnx,
G

when you add a picture within the page edit window you get a window that says 'Image Properties', it has a tab that says 'link' clik on that and it has a 'Browse Server' button clik that and you get a big window that has on the side a drop down 'Resource Type' that defaults to 'File' hit the drop down to get 'Image' they show up on the left then just pick one and it will put a URL to the img., under the link tab there is a drop down for 'Target' where you can set it to open a 'New Window[ _blank]' or what ever you want, 4 choices, the default is to open the img. in the same window.

BTW, if you upload img.s' with FTP you can generate 'thumbs' by going to 'Content » Image Manager'
where you will see your img.s' that will automaticaly make 'thumbs'

Hi,

Thanks, this worked out fine.

[Gregor]

I thought it worked out fine, however there is an error in the link. See my other toppic.

i would go back to that page and recheck your linking, the first one is good but then the next one shows the 3rd img. as do all the rest, if you clik the 'view sourse' button it mite give you a clue,,

I viewed the source and I see that not the corresponding picture occur. I'm very sure that I have linked the correct large picture to the picture in the content. Or do I overlook anything????

It looks that there are more pictures selected and that all selected pictures get the link of the last edited picture. I placed the pictures in a table, and that worked out well.

I used ftp to upload my images to the folder
                              /httpdocs/uploads/images/voorbereiding/
all images have 644 as permission. I go to "content", "image manager", I see the pictures I have uploaded, but no thumbs?
Is there something I overlooked

You may well want to have a look at the ImageGallery Tag (Plugin)? It may work better - check out the tag help.

Thanks for your reply!

I have used the tag once:
{ImageGallery picFolder="uploads/images/"}
but than it shows an image of all pics in a folder. That is not what I want. I'd like to place pics somewhere in the text. So a single pincture, and as far as I understand the options of {ImageGallery} that is not possible. Is it???

In my opinion, the advantage of a thumb is, that it does has a small size and therefore loads fast. When using the resize function from the image placeholder, it does not create a smaller size picture file. This will take extra loadtime of the page. Creating thumbs by hand, I find that an awfull lot of work. Any suggestions?

[Russ]

You can use one image, create a new folder with one image (and thunmbnail) and point to it.
{ImageGallery picFolder="uploads/images/foldername/"}

Although it is a bit wastefull, each instance of Image gallery can point to a different folder and can be formatted differently.

I'm sorry if I provided the wrong advice, I thought you were after multiple images rather than single ones.

Russ
P.S> There are quite a few bits of software out there to create thumbs from larger pics, but it maybe better to find out way the image manager is not working - did you try the ftp upload I suggested?

[Dr.CSS]

when you goto place image on the page are you using,, 'Content » Pages » Edit Page: **** '
insert image*browse server* then your in 'FCKeditor - Resources Browser' you shold be able to see a folder called voorbereiding/ inside is this,, clip_image001.jpg some where in the " t's " you should start seeing 'thumbs_ ' with the name of your images like  thumb_clip_image001.jpg,, but, only if you have gone to,, 'Content » Image Manager' and opened the  voorbereiding folder to view the images. The manager has always made thumbnails for me, the only reason i knew about it was that i FTP some images then go back to FTP some more and i see more img.s than i put in before and they all start w/ thumb_ so ,,,
that's my story

Hi There,

If I open the Imagemanager, than I see the filenames but no preview of each pic, except for two pic files that also have a thumb (don't kn how they get there). My conclusion is, the image manager does not create any thumbs. I uploaded the pics via ftp. SO the problem seems to be the image manager and not the image placer in the content page. Do you agree?

[Dr.CSS]

I'm sorry, you need to click on the folder called voorbereiding/ so it will open up the folder,,

Hi Mark,

Thanks. No sorry needed, I did click on the folder voorbereiding/ 
Still no luck

[Gregor]

Well, I changed (chmod) the permissions of the folder uploads/ to 777, and guess what? Ik see the images and thumbnails are created 

So the uploads/ folder is now fully opened. This worries me a bit, although it is the upload-folder.
