How to Post a Photo on Photo-A-Day- NEW INSTRUCTIONS

adamz

Can't You just copy the whole code between <a href... and </a> using the source code icon <> ? this way You will keep the hyperlink active to Your 500px 

adamz

shawnino - You can use the share image attribute on digitalrev. unfortunately, the main page blocks that (disabling right click) unless You are a register user. 

You can go a little bit deeper - though, it's more advanced and grab the link directly from the code, though You have to know where to look at (hint: search for: ".JPEG"):

BTW: quite soft for D800e shawnino

OK Adam you've set me a little test--going to try to figure it out. Haven't done so on the first try.

D800E softness not so much about the camera and rather more about the user! In my defence it was shot in a zodiac raft in moderate swell, but I'll still plead guilty as charged.

Not quite.

OK, you've got me. AdamZ. Well done. What's the procedure (FWIW I am a registered user...)? Cheers.

Msmoto

OK, what I was looking to demonstrate, is the code needed if one is to post using the "Insert Image" icon.  The easier way is to use the <> icon and drop in the entire HTML code as explained in the first post instructions.   Some folks may have a URL which has only the info I have isolated however.

shawnino

OK AdamZ, it's been a couple days. Solution key please

adamz

@shawnino, Your solution is simple. get the code (copy it), press the image button, and paste it there.... and ta da  

shawnino

AdamZ: I thought I had done that above right before msmoto's last post. Let me try it again:

That's odd, I at least get a thumbnail this time. Going to hit post and see what I get.

Done. I must have done it wrong last time.

OK, so how do I resize it to the larger image, similar to the one you posted in the first place? Cheers.

adamz

don't know which link You took, but the correct one goes from this line:

<img class="stagePhoto" id='stagePhoto' alt="Sentinels" title="Sentinels" src="http://gallery02.digitalrev.com/2005179/2012-12-29/056116b9a9af41f2b954ba2eda4a064c.JPEG" onclick="javascript:judeTheClickIfIpad(14224900);return false;"/>

       

and it displays in full rez:

TESTING

Ok, not sure if this was mentioned already but make sure to grab the HTML code and not the BBCode when posting your photos.

Msmoto

@ ;ChromiumPrime

Thanks, and to review...

Post photo on your Flickr account.  

From your Photostream click the photo one time.

Now at the top left is a “Share” tab.

CLICK this and from the “Grab the HTML Code” select the “Medium 640 (xxx x 640) size.

COPY the code shown in the window <a href="etc,,,

Now, on the PAD “Write Comment” space, BEFORE PASTING OR WRITING ANYTHING, CLICK the small icon which is next to the printer icon and looks like this: <>.

Then WRITE your comments and PASTE the HTML code from Flickr.

There may be other ways to get photos up, but this one works.

adamz

as the comment box has been just updated recently, You can simply skip clicking the <> icon (as it's no longer available over here) and just copy&paste the code as in the old forum

adamz

if You will have any doubts or questions, please PM either me, or msmoto or johnnyapple.

Nice! I like it this way much better.

Also, just a side note but when posting youtube videos, you only need to grab the address link and paste it exactly like in the old forum.

Msmoto

@ Adamz

Maybe when all the changes are complete on the new forum, we can delete this entire thread and just have the correct instructions in a sticky... The new HTML posting makes things go easier, IMO. Are we going with the 640px or 800px size?

adamz

@msmoto - I think that's exactly what we should do as for 800px, I would love to go with this width as after all this forum is about pictures.

Msmoto

@ adamz

The last one I posted no PAD was 800px HTML from Flickr. It seemed to work well.

adamz

it looks ok, but it's automatically resized

Msmoto

OK, as long as we are trying to figure this out....one at 640px and one at 800px

Msmoto

And 1024

Msmoto

I guess the resizing needs to be reviewed... this is a bit seductive, the size that is....

After you see this, Adam, delete the posts if you like.

adamz

the 1024 looks very weird

Msmoto

Initially it was full size...Once I left the page and came back the resizing worked to cut the horizontal width to apparently 800px. It does look a bit weird.
