Hi!

Would you be able to describe what you need in full english sentences? Then I might be able to help.

Best regards,
Garvin

I want to know why when an image is selected from the media manager is displayed in the text area of a new entry. But when it is saved it doesn't display on the frontpage when "visitors" come to my blog

[judebert]

That's not the expected behavior. (Obviously.)

Does anything at all show up on the visitor's version of the entry? Alt text, for instance?

When you select the options from the Media Manager, which version of the image do you choose: full, thumbnail, or text?

Do you get any error messages when you save the entry?

What version of Serendipity are you using?

[deadpoeticstar]

Nothing shows up at all, no alt text or anything and this is when i click Manage Images

I select full size

and im using the most current version of serendipity, and no error messages are displayed

[judebert]

We didn't print out much to debug with, there. Perhaps it's a more fundamental misunderstanding.

Manage Images should allow you to upload images, but it merely puts them in a repository (which we call the Media Manager). From there you can use "Edit Entries" to create a new entry and insert the image with the "img" or "media" button.

Are you publishing an entry which includes the image? Or are you looking for an image gallery plugin that lets the visitor see all the images that are in the repository?

[deadpoeticstar]

im publishing an image with an entry

an example is my review of a CD, i wanted to include an image of the CD cover with the entry

Example

[judebert]

Yes, what you want should definitely be working, and no, it's not.

Without access to your blog to try a few things on my own, I can only guess that a plugin must be getting in the way. I believe Garvin once mentioned WikiWords Markup causing havoc.

What plugins do you have enabled?

Do you use the text editor or the WYSIWYG editor?

Hi!

Now I understand the problem

Actually it seems to be the same like this one:

Hi, i've just had this problem too... but i've sussed it.

When you insert the image as a thumbnail, the syntax is inserted, but the image doesn't display... the problem is that in the inserted code for the img you'll find "width=0 height=0" delete these and it will appear... someone higher up needs to fix the code for this event.

[ajudson]

ummh.. tried it again, and there is another bug, in that the thumbnail is screwed... if you create your own manually and uploaded it works

[garvinhicking]

Hi adjudson!

In what respekt is the thumbnail screwed? The width/height are only set to '0' if the thumbnail file could not be read!

It seems as if s9y cannot properly create the thumbnail; are you using GDLib or imagemagick? Are the write permissions for the directories properly set?

Regards,
Garvin
