Examples of storing and using photos in a PBwiki

• Upload photos to your wiki - use the files command (top line of any wiki page)
• Edit the page where you want a photo
• Place the cursor where you want the photo to display
• Click on the photo you want (photos and files displayed in the hints page - at right of page you are editing).

Photos will display at the dimensions they were when you uploaded them.

Varying the displayed size:

Display a thumbnail or small version: while editing the page add &thumb=1 immediately after the jpg of the photo filename and before the closing >

Like this ....myphoto.jpg&thumb=1>

• To display several thumbnails side by side: Put the links one after the other without pressing enter.

Display photo to fit or display full size in Browser window (not in wiki page):

1. Move cursor to where you want it.
2. Drag the photo you want from the hints page (right column)
3. Edit the link that appears:

• Replace &thumb=1 with a | and then type the text to be displayed in the link
• Surround the whole link and text with square brackets.
• When the link is selected the photo will be displayed in a browser window - use the particular browser's method to view the photo at full size or at browser size.

Aligning a photo left or right with text wrap

Once you have clicked on the photo and have something like img src=/f/193_9389w.jpg>

then type after the .jpg something like: align = "left" alt="Kimberley desert sunset, photo by Berkeley">

What this does is align the photo left, permit text to appear to its right and adds the alt text. The sunset image above is placed using this align parameter.

The alt text helps the visually challenged as the text is communicated to them even though they cannot see the image.
