Hi there,

I am new to drupal and trying to work out how to deal with images. I basically want to be able to add images to the content of the pages or blocks.

I have a very basic theme based on the bartik theme. I have an option in the edit page section to upload and impage but when I view the page this image just shows a text link to the file. If clicked it opens up in a new window.

I want to see the image on the page next to the text.

Any ideas or can you direct me to support pages for how to insert images in to pages etc?

Thank you,

You'll need a few additional modules in order to add images to textareas. For Drupal 7, start with these:

http://drupal.org/project/media
http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg

Read the documentation for Media module--it is still in beta, but probably usable in development.

Hi there, thank you for your links.

I have taken a look and not really understanding how it all works.

Do I need to install a module as per the Wysiwyg page? I have no idea where to get this module?

So do I need some kind of module in-order to have options in the edit content box to add images?

The default image module just has an upload image box under the body content area. This just simply displays image: filename.jpg and doesnt actually show an image.

Any help for a real beginner?

I have used wordpress and you can just insert images in the content and then style them up.

thank you,

Have you looked under the "Manage Display" tab for the content type. Each field has one or more formatters.
