What is the best way to include pictures in stories?

It's depend on how do you want the picture including on your story and how do you want the image displayed.

1. just using WYSIWYG Editor to include picture
2. Add new field to the story, i.e: story_img, then you can:
- show the story_img in a block, i.e: you want a block that show lastest story with title and story_img field
- format the teaser output in table format, i.e: story_img on column 1 and story_summary in column 2
- set story_img as "required field" then users must enter picture in their story

I just want to include a photo or a picture to an article.

Install TinyMCE.module/FCKEditor.module and IMCE.module. The first module provides you a wysiwyg editor while the second gives you file/image browser, so you can upload, insert and delete picture easier (including image size/dimension, file quota).

Thanks a lot.

I installed TinyMCE.module and IMCE.module. That did it! :)

I think the best solution for this is to use 'image', 'img_assist' modules combined with TinyMce and 'drupalimage' TinyMce plugin as described here

The only reason i didn't updated my websites to drupal 5.0 is that 'img_assist' module is not available for this version yet. So, this solution is for 4.7.

I'm really new to Drupal, so I haven't worked out all the settings yet. I installed TinyMCE, and it allows me to put up pictures. I can see the pictures on the editor, but they don't show up in the posted pages. While I continue to work this out for myself, if anyone recognizes the problem, I would sure appreciate a little guidance.

Thanks.

I am having the same problem that you are having - did you ever find a solution to it?

I have the same problem

Images show up in the editor but not in the page/story. Anyone know how to fix this?

try this:

in "edit mode" right-click on the image > inset/editimage > advanced (tab) > uncheck "alternative image" if not.

Make sure "Full HTML" is selected at the Input format options.
