Add images to a post
hpoom - February 22, 2007 - 23:41
Hi, I didn't want to post this question because I assumed this would have already be answered, but I can't find the answer anywhere. I have switched on the Upload module and uploaded some images in a post and all worked fine on local host. But on mty hosted site it has not worked. When I try to browse to the image I just get the image path displayed in the browser and not the image. For expample http://www.be-more-green.co.uk/files/ALU_Logo.jpg

Thanks in advance

In short: there's no one single easy way to put images in posts -- Drupal appears to be lacking in this area. There are at least a dozen different ways, and there's no real documentation to explain them so you can choose.
Basically, there are two approaches:
- you can have images created as nodes, and then inserted into other nodes' body text (that's with modules image and image_attach)
- you can use CCK to define content types that have images. This is easier for users to simply stick an image from their computer into a page, but it limits reusability of an uploaded image.

I think I have fixed my problem now, I have commented out the .htaccess file in the files directory and this means the images now display OK. So then I am just using upload module to add images to a post.
A simpler way -
