on behalf of The Geek, who has worked countless sleepless days on a solution, HTG Forums is pleased to announce that both LINK and IMAGE buttons are now available. Use the Link button to er, well, paste links and then give a description. The description will appear in place of the URL. For an Image, just paste a URL link. The images that reside on your PC must be uploaded first.
Enjoy !
Scott, could you give some more explanation on how to use those. When I press "Link", I get a yellow IE bar (scripted window) and then nothing. On "Image", I assume the image will appear at the location where I pressed Image - but I am not sure. Hate to contaminate the Forum with test postings - so some further guidance would help.
howdy whs, welcome back from France.
Just opened IE, pressed link and got a script warning (mine was in purple). IE being cautious that's all. HTG can probably be added to Trusted Sites and have no bar to click on.
For images, just copy the image location (usually a right click, it is in FF anyway) and that URL can be pasted in after you've pressed the image button.
Go ahead, test away. There is a test page on the OT forum.
Following problems:
1. HTG cannot be added to trusted IE sites because the IE accepts only the https:// prefix
2. Allowing the scripted window is not the problem. Problem is, no window shows up.
3. I understand the "Image" mechanism. I am just not certain where in my text the image will show up. And besides, I am not sure what advantage that has over pasting the link into my text - unless I miss something.
1. OK
2. I have no idea why mine works and yours doesn't. I don't use IE too often. It's more than likely a setting in Internet Options>Advanced.
3. There is no text for the image button, just the URL. If it's on the net, copy image location. If it's on your PC, upload to imageShack-PhotoBucket and proceed as you have in the past. The obvious advantage is not all images have to be uploaded.
whs, regarding point 1, IE does not *require* that only secure site be added to the Trusted Zone, it's an option. See the link here.
The script warning in IE is definitely a problem... I'm going to adapt the script to do an in-browser popup instead of the default javascript prompt.
The buttons are mostly useful for people that don't know how to create links or image tags, since it always seems to be a question of how to do it.
I've also swapped out the bbcode plugin with another one that works a little better... rather than converting the bbcode to html it keeps it intact when editing.
For instance, I added this with the URL tag: http://www.howtogeek.com
