Hey, i'm learning drupal because someone want's a website, and I was having a little trouble with some things. I want to put a picture into a text field, and i can, but it's not something that everyone that uses the site in the future will figure out. I have to upload the image to the website by using a custom field I think it is way under the text area, then you can upload a picture from the web address below using tinymce, but I don't want to try and teach everyone to do that.
So I want a really easy way to do it, any suggestions?
EDIT: Actually just looking at the tek syndicate site, it's the same image insert as I was using, but I don't really like it, I want it to be able to browse local files
If you're using TinyMCE, there is a third party plugin (called JustBoil.me ) that is designed to allow users to upload images to the server and directly link them in one go.
it looks like what I want, but i'm struggling to install it, I don't know where I should set the target directory
The Insert module might be useful if you're using a WYSIWYG. It adds a button to image fields that when clicked will insert the image into the body field wherever the cursor is. If you use the help text on the field settings to explain what it does, I find that most people can deal with it with minimal issues.
I spent about an hour trying to get that to work properly, i watched this youtube tutorial and was unable to get it to work.
In the tutorial at 3:49 there is supposed to be an insert button and a style drop down, but I don't get either of them, I can upload the picture to the site, and insert the picture to the content I made, but not with the text, it gets put in separately.
so I'm a little annoyed with the Insert module
and yes I am using the WYSIWYG module
Hmm...are there any javascript errors in the console when the insert module breaks? Also, have you checked the recent log entries when it fails (/admin/reports/dblog)?
I never got any errors, it just didn't show the insert button
Sorry for wasting your guys' time, I figured out the insert module, I just missed the check box for adding the insert module. I feel kind of like an idiot, but I finally got it working
Ha, welcome to Drupal :) Frustrating as hell but worth it.
