<img> tag or image.module image filter

David Hull commented 22 August 2003 at 06:15

If you're not filtering HTML tags and you have your images hosted elsewhere, you could just use an <img ...> tag directly.

Otherwise, you could enable the contributed image.module, turn on "Image filter" on the Administration » site configuration » filters page. Then you upload your images to your personal photo gallery and use [image:node_id] to include the photo in your blog entry.

Thanks!

About the directories permission.

May I set 777 for image, thumbs & tmpimage? or 770?

Directory modes

You probably already figured out the answer for yourself by now, but...

When a user uploads an image through the web, it's the web server
that writes the image file into the image directories, so the web server
needs read, write, and execute permissions on those directories.

If you have root access on the machine running the web server,
the most secure installation would be to have the image directories
owned by the user the web server is running as, and have mode 755
(or 700).

But if you don't have root permission (and so are unable to change
the ownership of the image directories to the user the web server
runs as), and if you and the
web server are in different groups, you're going to have to use
mode 777.

So, the best way to include a

So, the best way to include an image when you're typing out a new story is to create image nodes *first*? Then refer to them inside the story using the [image:node_id] tag? Ok.

Yes

Yes, that's how I do it.

ok, i'm new at this...

i got some images loaded up using the image.module and turned on image filtering... now, where do i find the image node.id??

i looked all around the areas, and all i can see is a '1' or '5' in the URL at the top of my browser (after /node/edit/), so i tried adding: [image:1,(left),10];
into my story body, but the image doesn't render - what am i doing wrong??

cheers!

If you enabled image filter i

If you enabled image filter in Administration » site configuration » filters, you may include an image in a node using the image node id.
Try the simple syntax [image:123]; , assuming 123 is the node id of the image.

The full syntax is:

If you want to use hspace, I think you should also enter a value for vspace and border.

I've enabled the image filter...

I've enabled the image filter and can now attach images to stories, but how to I attach the full sized image to the story and not just the thumbnail?

image filter to show full sized images

I've pondered this myself and I haven't a way to do that. There is an issue on this but it hasn't been update for a while.

works in 4.6.0

grabur commented 20 October 2005 at 15:54

[image:node_id size=original]

seems like the image has to exist for it to work, would be nice if it gracefully degraded.

In 4.5.0?

malloc-1 commented 24 October 2004 at 23:40

Specifying an image like so [image:244]; does not seem to work in 4.5.0. I don't have any adminstration options for filtering (can't turn it on or off)

attached_node

javanaut commented 25 October 2004 at 00:10

I'm hesitant to throw this out here, as it is a fairly new module, but the attached_node module works on 4.5.0. The syntax is similar to the image filter module, but it doesn't just apply to image nodes.

Syntax is like:

[node:123]

for the regular thumbnail version of the node, or

[node:123,res="640x480"]

or basically, whatever allowed resolutions you specified in image module's configuration, as well as "original".

After installing the module, you would have to add "res" to the list of allowed parameters for image node in administer / input formats / configure filters. Image nodes are treated specially, but only if the "res" parameter is enabled.
