Image from flikr (this didn't work in my own journal)



domtheknight successfully posted a photobucket image in a comment, so we'll test that too.



Another test, yo:



re: community invitation. I was invited, accepted and immediately granted posting access. Moderating worked, and now I've edited the post without trouble. Go Dreamwidth!

ETA: attempting to edit in the HTML window works like a charm.

I realized as soon as I submitted the post and it told me I'd been added to the moderation queue. Heh.

I can't see the images either, but it is seeing the website within the code. I'm wondering if I'm just messing up the code here at some point...

Did you use the RTE or the HTML editor?

[img] code doesn't work in DW, that's for boards that use BBcode.

Photobucket also has a 'hotlink' option that has the [img src=] tag w/ the angle brackets. The link you have in the img src is the photo page, not the photo itself.

I don't know a lot about Flickr, b/c I don't use it, so I don't know if they provide the tags or not, but this is the correct URL for the image:

[img src=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3491/3253035989_1d62b46a16.jpg?v=0] - use that w/ the angle brackets on both ends and it'll work

Oh, good! Now I don't have to panic about whether I'm reporting a real bug or just failing to remember how to code properly.

Thanks. Awesome. Appreciate the help.

[katieintheworld]

Although it still doesn't work in the post. Rats. Really is a bug, then.

[highlander_ii]

That was my bad instructions! whoops! put the "quotes" around the link address.

Sorry!!

[katieintheworld]

No no! I tried it both ways, I just left it up without the quotes. Even with them in it doesn't work in the body of the post, only in comments for whatever reason.

domtheknight and I were sussing it out on my journal, actually, I just thought I'd see if it worked elsewhere.

[highlander_ii]

huh - that's weird.

I assume you were using the HTML editor, since you did the code yourself? Or did you type the code in the RTE? B/c the RTE doesn't parse code properly.

*ponders*

[katieintheworld]

I don't know--I've seen other folk post images in their DW journals. I maybe have started in the RTE, actually, but would that still apply if I go back and try to edit the entry after the fact?

[highlander_ii]

Yeah - if you use the RTE and try to enter HTML - it doesn't parse it as HTML. And we've been having issues w/ the RTE not functioning right - like, not letting ppl comment, etc. So that could be it.

[katieintheworld]

Yes! I made sure to switch to the HTML editor and was able to code. Awesome.

(now I just have to get the sizing reasonable. sheesh.)

[highlander_ii]

That's what cut tags are for! =)

[katieintheworld]

This is why I surround myself with smart people.

(actually, got the sizing a lot better, but you're right, cut-tags are your friend especially with images.)

[highlander_ii]

indeed!

Some comms will even require cut tags if images are over a certain size.

Sometimes there are auto-thumbnails too. *g*
