Sorry if this is a stupid question. I just started with Drupal over the weekend. Making good progress. I wanted to add a photo to the homepage mission statement. I uploaded to a new folder called images and then added the appropriate html code. The text now wraps around the image but the image doesn't appear. I'm clueless why not. Here's the code I put in:

I found a work around by copying the file to a folder off the root of the site instead of within the drupal folder. So now the image is displaying. But I'm wondering why it wouldn't work where I had it and what the best way is to add images to new content pages?

Thanks,
Sheila

Did you have the url as absolute or relative before the workaround? (I tend to absolute as much as possible to make sure things work as they should.)

Sorry...I went to fix my post to include the code and now I have a duplicate post. And I'm not seeing any way to delete it!

I'm using relative because right now the whole site is in a folder within an active site. So when it's ready to go live I want to be able to move it all to the root and not have a bunch of bad urls. Here's the code I had before the work around:

<img src="drupal/images/cover.jpg" align="right" width="200" height="294" /> Welcome to the home of the Evergreen Tandem Club.

I'm now trying to use the work around to be another photo on another page and it's not working there. Clearly I'm missing something.

BTW...I'm in Seattle. I see you're nearby.
Thanks!

I'm probably not the best person for help with this. But. Have you tried removing the /drupal/ from the img src? (What I do when an image wont show up is, in Firefox, hover over it, right click, and view image. The "Page Not Found" will pop up and give you the path that you entered. Then I do and adjust from there.)

~silverwing - where did all these clouds come from today? It was supposed to be really nice here!

silverwing is right: leave the 'drupal/' part of your path and things will work fine.
