Hi!

Yes, you can install the "ImageSelector Plus" plugin. This gives you new choices in the insertion of an image into your blogposts, so that you can choose to open it inside your current entry view. (or as a popup, etc.)

can this be set automatically? can't find that in the plugin option!

Wait a minute - you can already do something like that without any plugin...

After you select your image, then choose thumbnail or large image, there is an option to "display as a link to this url", which defaults to the large image, and choices as to how to control the link, including blank target, pop-up, or isolated image....

Am I missing something here?

@ gravin , Don Chambers :

sorry i didn't mention that earlier, but most of my posts are through the api. and not using the Media library or the New Entry pages.

so i thought if there something to make that work with one step configurations!

thanks

Hi!

Then there is no way to achieve this automatically. This functionality is only availabnle through the s9y editing interface.

If you want to use the API, you must create the link yourself, like this:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://yourblog/index.php?serendipity[subpage]=s9yisp&serendipity[id]={{s9yisp_entryid}}&serendipity[image]=X

You would need to replace "X" with the ID of the image inside your MDB. Since you supposedly use the API Editor with a full URL and not an image of the s9y MDB, getting the ID will be very hard. So the end of this is: With an API Editor, you simply can't use this functionality - you need to resort to lightbox or other means.

thanks Gravin, i hoped there is some automated way to do that but if this is the only way to do it then i think i have to use it.

Hi Angel!

1. Create a new blog entry

2. Click on the icon"Manage images" on top of the entry body (icon with a table with some dots in it, representing the image thumbnails) so that the s9y media database is opened in a popup (NOT the link in the admin sidebar)

3. In that popup, choose the image you want to insert.

4. On the following page (labelled "You chose XXX.jpg"), where you choose the layout options, choose:

- Image size: I want to use the thumbnail in my entry
- Image alignment: Pick what you want
- Image insertion: I want to display it as a link to this url (keep the full URL in the input box next to it)
- Target for this link: Isolated Entry
- Comment: Enter what you want, or leave empty

5. Click on "Done", save your blog entry.

(This requires s9y 1.2 at least)

Regards,
Garvin
