Title: Image Linkage
Post by: Klar Ken T5477 on February 16, 2005, 12:48:17 PM
Lets say I write an article or two (I did).
Now let's say I uploaded an pertinent image to said article (ditto).

Now how do I link the article to the image and vice versa.

Or imbed the image in the article?

I asked Rao but he's off being a god or sump'n. :wink:

First of all, you have to upload the file after you've logged in by hitting the "Upload File" button. Then, you can go to you're entry and use the toolbar to imbed the image (using the filename you gave it) into your entry.

Does this help?

(http://supermanica.info/img/toolbar.jpg)

The embed image button will embed the tag used to include an image.  Then change Example.jpg to whatever the filename was that you uploaded.

There are also more options, like for instance

[[Image:Example.jpg|right|thumb] will display the image as a zoomable thumbnail aligned on the right hand side of the entry, within the text instead of on a stand alone line.  View the source (using the Edit tab) of some other entries to see how they do it.  (The only ones that come to mind are Lexcorp, Jor-El, and The Great Superman Book)

To get your article to be listed on the Entries page, you need to add the following line at the bottom of it:

[[Category:Entries]]

But you can list other categories too.  For instance, Superman 2965 could be in the following categories:

[[Category:Entries]]
[[Category:People]]
[[Category:Heroes]]

All the current categories are listed here (http://superman.nu/wiki/index.php/Special:Categories), but like everything else on the site, more can be created on the fly.

Articles can be in more than one category.  For instance, the Krypton article could be in the 'Entries', 'Krypton', and 'Planets' categories.

Now what is the procedure to code links to other articles?
