==Clickpic ~ hyperlinked pictures==

The following tables are constructed using Wiki Code.

'''For an explanation of how the tables are constructed see [[Working With Tables]]'''

Clicking on the picture will take you to a page in The Wiki.


====THE CODE====

<nowiki> {| width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="15" </nowiki><br>
<nowiki>|{{clickpic|Parish_Registers| http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/images/d/d6/Register_fr2.jpg}}</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>||{{clickpic| Certificate_tutorials| http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/images/c/ca/Certs_fr.jpg}}</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>||{{clickpic|World_Index_Page| http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/images/3/30/WIP2_fr2.jpg}}</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>|}</nowiki><br>


====EXPLANATION OF THE CODE====

Dictating the width as a percentage ensures an even display on any size screen.

====To make the smaller 'Clickpic' images====

To use an exact copy of an image which is already in The Wiki, you need to make the image smaller in advance: 

:'''1.''' Type the image code at the size you need:

 <nowiki> [[image:InitialsB.jpg|75px]]</nowiki>

:'''2.''' Save the page

:'''3.''' When the image appears at the new size, right click on it and select properties.

:'''4.'''  Copy the hyperlink and paste it to where you need to use it.

 <nowiki> http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/images/thumb/0/08/InitialsB.jpg/75px-InitialsB.jpg</nowiki>

:'''5.''' Edit the page and remove the <nowiki>[[image:InitialsB.jpg|75px]]</nowiki><br>


==Images as hyperlinks to external websites and externally hosted images==

 ***still working on this section***

This example uses clickable pictures - this has the advantage of allowing you to use images to hyperlink to sites outside The Wiki. The first URL is the external URL of the full sized image. The thumbnail uses the URL of the image on The Wiki. The thumbnail image has to be uploaded to The Wiki in the size you need to use.

This example gives a choice between '''either''' a picture which will take you to the photobucket version '''or''' a text link which will also take you direct to the photobucket version. When the thumbnail is clicked, you see the picture in the orginal size.

==Images as hyperlinks to Wiki pages from pictures in the Wiki.==

You can also use this method for linking to Wiki pages, although linking to the page name rather than the URl is easier.
