OK,

I think is is something basic I should have figured out by now but I seem to not be able to put a picture in the story? I thinking this has to be a basic function and I am looking too deep into and missing something simple.

All I want to do is to be able to put a picture (s) in story content, nothing like a gallery ( I have figured out how to do that ).

If it not something simple what would be the simplest module to install and configure with out a lot of trouble.

Thanks Moe

PS if this that simple pardon my stupid question I am embarrassed I can't figure it out.

Click the edit on Story Content, check to ensure that "full html" is enabled in the "submission form setting". After that in the body of the story content you're making just use simple html code eg. <'img src ="replace this with the url location of the file with the quotes" '> remove the single quotes. eg. of an url location is: http://deviantart.com/pic1, i know u might know what it is but i just stating it okay.

If you're trying to center the image put the <'CENTER'>............<'/CENTER'> tags without the quotes before and after the code above.

All the best now.

If you have non-coder users or just want to be lazy like me, FCK editor includes an image toolkit that I have found to be really effective and despite being javascript, very not-bloated. Also makes uploading images from local machine very easy

OK, I thought I knew what FCK was but apparently not. :) Could you give me some more information on it and where I get it at?

Thanks and embarrassed.

Thanks guy's

I will give this a try. More than likely I will go with the FCK module, most of the posters are non-coders anyway. I have to approach it with the KISS method or I will blow them away.

Off to playing again!

OK this is cool it works... sort of have one small problem. When I go to put in a article (story) the background is the same color as the page back ground. (blue and black) Does anyone know how I can edit back to white instead of translucent?

Other than that it seems pretty easy and straight forward.

Thanks again for the advice and the help!

Like others said:
- download FCK editor: http://drupal.org/project/fckeditor
- download TinyMCE: http://drupal.org/project/tinytinymce

Upload en install the modules. Go to the FCK editor settings. Klik the advanced profile and go to "upload" select TinyMCE for uploading.

When you type a story or any content click the image button in fck editor then go click browse on server. TinyMCE will opens, in the top nav select click the input for selecting a image and press upload. When the image is uploaded click it and again in the top nav select send it to FCK editor.
