Using Multiple Images

Page being edited by Caroline

More than one image on page

There are several ways of laying out tables with images and/or text.

These are examples of some of the techniques which have been used in The Wiki.

Gallery - small thumbnails

Using the Gallery gives a preset table.

If you click on the pictures, you see the image itself. Selecting the link takes you to the page in The Wiki.

Pictures in a table

These pictures are laid out in a table. You can have single pictures or several in a row. Clicking on the picture takes you to the full size image. The advantage to this method is that you can add a caption to the picture.

Images as hyperlinks from pictures in the Wiki.

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

{| width="100%" height="35px" border="0" cellpadding="10"
! width="30%"|<span class="plainlinks"> [http://www.familytreeforum.com/genealogy-general http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/images/3/36/Research.jpg]</span>
! width="30%"|<span class="plainlinks"> [http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/index.php/Creating_Your_Family_Tree http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/images/f/fe/Create_fr.jpg]</span>
! width="30%"| <span class="plainlinks"> [http://www.familytreeforum.com/family-tree-forum-community-boards http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/images/2/2e/Community.jpg] </span>
|}

 <span class="plainlinks"> link </span> stops the blue arrow on the side.

<span class="plainlinks"> [http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Allpages http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/images/b/b1/Index_fr2.jpg] </span>

Images as hyperlinks using externally hosted images

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.

 <span class="plainlinks"> link </span> stops the blue arrow on the side.

Mixing images and text

Picture on the left, some text and picture on the right

N.B. If the image has no "built in" border you need to use |thumb| not |frame|.
