How to put an image in your description or on a wiki



<img:http://elftown.eu/stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>


This is a guide to instruct you how to add an image from another website to your wiki or house description. Before you add any image to Elftown, please be sure you are familiar with the Uploading Art Rules.

1. Right-click on the image.
2. Go to ''properties'' or "View Image Info"
3. Copy the URL. (The thing that starts with: http:)
4. Paste the URL inside an image-tag: <img:the URL>
Now it should look like <img:http://elftown.eu/img/drawing/01112_65758.gif>
Note: You can make it shorter if the image is on Elftown, by removing http://elftown.eu/ from the URL (As it's still a working URI).
5. Save the changes as usual.

You can also use this method to add images to messages, diaries, and forums. It does work in wiki comments, but remember that many people don't like huge images in wiki comments, so it's a good idea to resize it by putting f.e. 100 between <img and :URL> (Like <img100:URL> It will be clickable and link to the bigger image).

You can resize the images, rotate them, put them to the right or left of the text and make them links to wiki-pages.
Read all about it on <URL:pseudo_html.html> or pseudo HTML.

2007-07-09 [Phoxx]: If you don't have a website where your pictures are uploaded, do you have to put them in the picture sloth in your house one by one or is there another way to get them on a wiki?

2007-07-09 [Zab]: On your house I think there is a button ''upload a folder of images'' (if you have priv 99) which should make you able to upload several pictures at once. I think.
I'm not at all sure of this tho, since I've never tried it.. :S
*waits for someone else who knows to answer*

2007-07-09 [Sunrose]: That button is there with all the privs :)

2011-05-10 [Lothuriel]: Heya, Zab. I edited this under the assumption it is an offical used wiki. If not, then I do apologize and I will change it back if you want.

2011-05-10 [Zab]: It was never intended as an official page, but it seemed useful :) I don't mind.

2011-05-10 [Lothuriel]: ^__^ ok. I just saw that it was linked from a few official pages and it IS very useful.
