Re: Uploading Images

posts: 1563 Germany

Hi Unclegeo,

it is possible to upload images, respectively files, into the filegallery and to insert the images into the wikipage whilst you are in the editmode in one single step with only a few clicks.

Assuming, that you have the appropriate permissions, you just go to the editmode of the wikipage.

Then you find a few edit-icons on top of the page editor.

Depending on the local settings just about the sixth icon is for uploading images.

if you click on that, a dialogue will pop up and there you can type in the image source, the image Id (not more recommended image gallery) or the file Id (recommended file gallery for all files including images).

If you do not know the file Id, or the file (image) is not yet uploaded, you can click on a small icon beside the text-field "file Id".

A new small browser window will pop up, in which you are directed to the file gallery. There you can upload the image from your hard disk to the appropriate file gallery or create a new gallery.

Finally, after uploading, you click on the uploaded file in the galleries list mode and the small browser window will close by itself. Now you see the popup dialogue again, but the Id of the file (image) is filled in the textfield.

Optional you can assign more parameters to the file and click on the button "insert".

Now you are back in the editmode and depending on the assigned parameters you see the img plugin in the wikipage editor, right at the place, where your mouse cursor has been when you started the upload.

Maybe you have one or two more necessary clicks than in other systems, but this way you just can insert the picture on every else wikipage, article, blogpost, forumpost etc..
You just need to mind the file Id, or copy/paste the plugin or click on the tool icon again, but now without the need of uploading the same image again.

I hope my description is any help for you.

If this is not so easy to reproduce, just tell me and I will make a sort of HowTo in the documentation.

Cheers
Torsten
