Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:42 am Post subject: How to make a post with a small pic look good?
I can already put the Google Earth placemark behind the picture, so upon clicking that GE takes you to the place where it has been taken.
But what I still need to figure out is, how to place the text just right of the picture, starting at its top corner, and not beneath it. Can somebody tell me how?
One way would be to enable HTML in your posts but that is considered to be a high security risk.
The post will accept BBCODE-so maybve there is something in that coding that wil allow to do that.--you need to check out bbcode-- _________________ Asia Expats Forum Expat Friends Dating

Showing images in posts
Adding an image to a post
phpBB BBCode incorporates a tag for including images in your posts. Two very important things to remember when using this tag are: many users do not appreciate lots of images being shown in posts and second, the image you display must already be available on the Internet (it cannot exist only on your computer, for example, unless you run a webserver!). There is currently no way of storing images locally with phpBB (all these issues are expected to be addressed in the next release of phpBB). To display an image, you must surround the URL pointing to the image with [img][/img] tags. For example:
As noted in the URL section above you can wrap an image in a [url][/url] tag if you wish, eg.
So, essentially the same, except the <> tags are replaced by [], along with some minor format changes. Not sure if the align command will work, but it MIGHT could ...

That's about as far as I got, Klaus. Apparently BBCode does not support the "align" tag ... and HTML is disabled due to security reasons. Sorry
Mike, is there any way to allow CERTAIN HTML commands on this forum? I think there is a way to allow SOME HTML Commands ... at least post nuke has this facility. Not sure about PhpBB2. _________________ Dongguan Expat - Your online Community!

Sorry, missed a letter in the url.
There should be a way for the aligning, just have to find out how! I'll look at phpBB.com _________________ Thailand Forum - Korat Forum..

I think the BBCode feature needs to be updated to allow the [left] and [right] features ... not totally sure, but this is what I think.
All things being said, the easiest way to do this may be to just enable certain HTML commands (if that is possible with the PhpBB2 administration panel).
As I understand them in that thread, 3 months ago it was something completely new, and had to be added even to phpBB 2.0.20, after another Multicode had been installed. Don't know whether it is already integrated in phpBB 2.0.21. In any case there is no reference how to use it. A guy just says "Read the Flaming Manual". Where to find that? _________________ Thailand Forum - Korat Forum..
What i did on the softball site is enable the html in the control panel but then I set the disable html in the default profiel for all users--users can enable it if they know how but that is a long shot. But I enabled it for admins so I can post in html code. The next step would be to hide the box where users can enable it by themselves--so that they can not enable it anyway
I don't know of any mods that allow only certain html commands.
Klaus--you can enable the html and hope that nothing goes wrong--just keep regular backups. or do something like i did in the softball section.
Actaully i think ill try to do that at AEF as it really gives tons of flexibilty to posts--can add rss feeds etc.. and flashes etc... _________________ Asia Expats Forum Expat Friends Dating

Hey Mike -
Sorry about that. I tried again though with the right URL, and it still doesn't work. It is most likely a problem with my internet connection (remember, I'm in China ... ) - perhaps the name of the site caused it to get blocked. Who knows ...
What I meant by allowing certain HTML Commands was that the Post Nuke admin panel gives one the option of choosing which HTML commands to allow (from a list of available commands). PhpBB2 might not, though ...

I'll sign up for your site soon, and try doing the HTML thing ... will let you know .
Tried using the HTML feature on your site, but it seems to cut out all src commands. Not sure why this is ... the align command also did not work.
You may need to upgrade your BBCODE so that [left], [right] and [center] tags are supported ... but this seems like a relatively minor problem to me, and not worth the hassle _________________ Dongguan Expat - Your online Community!
Mike - I think you may need to enable the align tag under General configuration inyour administration panel and also the p tag, and then this should work here too.
