+Mousetrap Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I'm having a problem posting a photo to my cache page. I am placing the code in "short description" and using code.......<img src="c:\My Documents\forest.jpg">. As you can see the photo is coming from a file which is in "My Documents\forest.jpg." When I am through editing my cache page then look at it, I get the picture there. But when someone else looks at the page they do not see the picture. Just a red "X". The photo has a jpg extension and opens with MS Paint. Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 That's 'cause you can't point it to your local drive, it has to be on the internet someplace. You can either upload it to a different site, or even to your profile. Once it is on the internet someplace, you can point ot it <img src="http:\\location\location\forest.jpg">. Quote Link to comment
LostNFoundFMK Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 You need just need alittle a bit more information. <img src="c:\My Documents\forest.jpg">. Is not enough. You need to have something in the general area of c:documents and settings\(the computers name)\my documents\forest.jpg. It depends on what operating system you have also. Hope this may help Quote Link to comment
Black Mage Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 it has to be on the internet someplace Try getting an accout at Photobucket.com. It's free and you get a lot of space and bandwidth. Quote Link to comment
+blindleader Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Just go to the cache page and click on the [upload images] link in the upper right corner. Upload the image. Then use the url of the resulting link in your description. Remember to keep the file size of the image below 125k or 600 pixels or it may be compressed by Groundspeak. Quote Link to comment
