Image Guide

This is a guide the help you insert images into your topics. There will be many examples and instructions to help you achieve the result you want.

1. Attaching your image

To be able to display an image in your topic, the image must exist somewhere on the internet. The safest way to ensure this is to attach it to your topic. By attaching it to your essays topic you will be sure that the image will not disappear, which might be the case if you use an image that is stored at someone elses webpage. If they delete the image, it will disappear from your topic as well.By attching it to your own topic you create a copy of the image that cannot be deleted as easily. In the unlikely event of someone deleting your picture (or entire topic!) by mistake, it is easy to restore if from backups.

To attach an image to your topic, do the following:

1. Edit the topic you want to attach the image to by pressing the Edit-button in the top-right corner.

2. Open the attachment menu by pressing the Manage Attachment button.

3.Go the the Upload Attachment tab and browse for the file you want to upload and then press the Upload button.Close the Upload window when the upload is done. If you do not want the attachment to show in the attachment list at the end of the topic you can check the halloween contacts Hide Attachment box.

2. Inserting your image

1.Press the Insert/edit Image button.

2. Type in the name of the image you want to insert in the topic, the description and the title (only the filename is mandatory). Then press the Insert button to insert the picture into the topic. Done!

If you want to insert an image that is attach to another topic in this wiki, enter <webname>.<topicname>/<imagename> Ex. ResearchSchool.AnyTopic/myfile13.jpg

As mentioned before, it IS possible to insert a picture from anywhere on the internet, just write the URL to the picture (http://www.anysite.com/anyfolder/anyimage.png), but beware of the possibility that pictures on the internet disappear all the time and it's completely outside your control.

3. Changing the layout/size of images

There are a few options you have when it comes to layout of images. They are all controlled from the same window as when you insert images, but you look under the Appearence tab instead. To get back to that window for an image you alread have insterted, select the image and press the Insert/edit Image button, the same as when inserting a new image. Here you can change the Allignment drop-down menu. The example to the right of that menu will change to display how your image will behave. Press the Update button to apply the changes, see which is named Insert if you have not inserted the image yet.

To change the horizontal position of an image, change the Horizontal Space value. This specifies how many pixels the picture will be shifted sideays.

To change the size of the picture, you can edit the Dimensions values, or you can just drag one of the corners of the picture with the mouse in the ordinary editing window.
