Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help with this? I am running a pretty standard Garland theme on Drupal 5 at www.sbaweb.co.uk - I don't have any WYSIWYG editors or CCK or anything on there, just image, image attach, and image gallery, though I don't think I've used image gallery.
I have disabled people being able to just make images directly via Create content > Image, as that causes errors on my install for some reason. That's ok though, as when they make a Blog, etc. post, they can attach an image.
The blogs (and other things that are on there) come up as a list of teasers and when you click the post/teaser name or the thumbnail of the image in the post, you get taken to that post.
The images in the posts themselves are bothering me though. They are self-linked (e.g. if you click on the image in this blog post http://www.sbaweb.co.uk/node/679) the image is a link to the page that you're already on.
People have problems with this as they click on it, expecting to see a bigger image or go to another page or something, but they don't get that, they just taken to where they already are. It's an odd setup.
I think it must be possible to disable the links, but I don't know how. Has anyone got any answers?
Also I'd really like to be able to put the image over to the right, as sometimes it's so big (since it's often someone's art, it need to be big) that people miss that there's text below. And I jus think it'd look nicer over on the right with text flowing around it.
An example is the one just described (http://www.sbaweb.co.uk/node/679). The image going on the right and the text coming up to flow around it would seem better. I tried altering the CSS (and/or PHP somewhere, I think) but the links below the text messed up.
Also the other content types I've made are different - e.g. this one has the attached image below the text: http://www.sbaweb.co.uk/node/212 (but it's still self-linked,so must be similar). Trying to move that over really messed up all of the links along the bottom as they moved up and ran into the image.
One other thing. When I make a new post like the last one mentioned, it seems to put the image above the text (like here: http://www.sbaweb.co.uk/node/703), but when I go back in an edit it, sometimes the text ends up above the images. Like the page http://www.sbaweb.co.uk/node/703 has "Test details" below the image, but the previous ones like http://www.sbaweb.co.uk/node/212 have the text description above.
It's infuriatingly odd! So thank you anyone for any help you can give on these strange image things (and sorry for the long post)!

contemplate
http://drupal.org/project/contemplate
you can control everything with this. Its an amazing module! if you need more help setting it up (because i am pretty new to drupal and it can get really confusing!) just ask and i'll do my best. there are a lot of tutorials out for this though, so hopefully that will send you in the right direction.
Contemplate
Hi jerepops,
Thank you for the tip. Do you need to have the Content Construction Kit (CCK) installed before you can use the Contemplate module?
And do you need anything else installed together with that (over the basic modules)?
I'm running on a very minimal Drupal at the moment, in terms of modules, as the more I add, the more confusing it gets!
Content Construction Kit (CCK) not required
Although the module was mainly made for Content Construction Kit (CCK). It also works on the basic views that came with your drupal install! So you should be able to achieve what you want with this one module.
