Images to stories?

madamski - October 5, 2009 - 23:10

I had Drupal installed on another server before and I remember having the option to simply upload and add an image when creating a story. This has now been turned off apparently in my new install and while I searched through the module settings, I did not see anything which would activate this option.

FWIW, I can create images and post them, just not as part of a story.

Also, does the IMAGE mod allow for picture captions?

Thanks so much for the help.

I know this is an easy fix, but I still cannot find where to acticate the setting. Can anyone help me here?

Thank you!

There are a dozen possible

There are a dozen possible ways you may have been supporting images in the past, so we can't play 20 questions to guess what's on your system unless you provide more information. You don't even mention if you are using a WYSIWYG, and if so, which. Can make the hugest difference.

Anyway, at a guess, IMCE is one of the more popular modules, but you really haven't said enough to help.
Maybe you can list the modules you've currently got available/installed for a hint?

The only module to be

The only module to be installed that is not a default one is the CAPTCHA module and the IMAGES module.

I'm not familiar with some of the other terms you mentioned...

there has been no version of Drupal core that handled images natively without the aid of a module. Based on your description it sounds like you may have at one time had img_assist.module installed which provides a graphic button or link to quickly add an image to a content type.

WRT, captions you can add a field to a contet type and call it captions and I believe there is a contrib module called image_caption in the repo. A few good ways to research module options, drupal module search in the modules download area on the right sidebar, google and drupalmodules.com

Please try and do a better job of placing your forum threads. For the most part, if you aren't developing a module, placing a thread in module development tends to be fruitless. 99.9% of posts about a specific module, should be placed in post installation forum.
