I have a website which I am trying to fill in. Only problem is that I am unable to download photos onto it. Dunno wether it is a server problem or I am doing it wrong. Been trying for ages without success. Text is fine it is just the photos.

I've tried getting in touch with the bloke that done it for me hasn't replied so I have run out of patience with him (prat)

Any help would be much appreciated

to insert images in HTML

code would be


good website to learn from is http://www.w3schools.com

Cheers Scott,

But the website template is already done and all I have to do is fill in the text and add photos onto certain jobs I have done.

There is an image function which has upload, browse server etc. And it does not seem to be working.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with my hosts server?

Thanks

I've never used FCKEditor, so unfortunately I really have no idea mate.

It bmight be worth trying a different browser,it could also be that the folder you are trying to upload to has the wrong permissions set ?

This is it here http://www.fckeditor.net/demo

Anyone reconise it?

still drawing a blank there marky, personally i would just add the required html code (as above) to the page.

Don't think that is possible scot. But thanks anyway

what I mean is FCKEditor formats the HTML for you, simply right click on the HTML file it creates (hopefully it is not editing the file live on the server)
open with, notepad, and then add the code for an image.

seems an odd package to me

If you check the FCKeditor demo you can actually do an upload on it yourself.

Seem to do it ok on their website. Can't do it on my own.

Tried what you said scot. No joy I'm afraid

I have used joomla to make about 16 websites and it is probably similar to that.

In joomla, once you have installed all of the required mods, you can click on the picture icon and upload a picture to the server.

There are two things in Joomla that can prevent the image upload from working. I know that you are not using joomla, but there could be similar functions.

See if there is an option somewhere to enable flash uploader, if it is enabled-disable it. If this is enabled on any of my sites I cannot upload pictures.

Another thing is folder permissions, where the pictures are stored. You need to check the folder permissions, if you navigate to the folder and right click on it and select properties, it should say something like 655 or 666. For me to be able to upload files to a folder in joomla the permission has to be 666, and so if I have problems I normally change the folder permisions to 666, if they are not 666 already.
You have to be careful with folder permissions as if you set them incorrectly you can leave it vunerable to hacking attempts.

Thanks for the info chez,

I've just managed to upload an image from google images ok but I can't seem to do it with my own hard drive for some reason?

Has something to do with the url I think>

Are you sure the image is uploaded to your server and is not just hot linking to the picture on google images?

I think that is what it is doing Chez.

When I try and upload photos from my folder tells me the photo has been uploaded ok. Then when I look in the server folder it is empty.

Also on the admin page all there is is an outline of where the photo should be.

I really do regret getting this bloke to do it. Take the money and run by the looks of it

If you pm me the details I'll take a look for you when I get time
