More than one image on page

There are several ways of organising multiple images on a page.

These are examples of some of the techniques which have been used in The Wiki. They are based on using a table.

For an explanation of how tables are constructed see Working With Tables

Simple row

Images uploaded to The Wiki

THE CODE

{| width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5"
|[[image:Yeomen.jpg|center|frame|Essex Yeomanry]] Original size and caption.
||[[image:Navalworkshop.jpg|center|250px]] Resized.
||[[image:CCelection.jpg|center|200px|thumb|Election Count]] Resized with caption.

THE RESULT

Table as used in the Places of Worship

These pictures are laid out in a table. You can have single pictures or several in a row.

Example page

Clicking on the picture takes you to the full size image.

You do not need to upload your picture to The Wiki first.

When you have saved your page you will be taken to to the upload page when you click on the name of the picture.

This page explains the process for Uploading images to The Wiki.

Contributions for The Places of Worship ~ from a thread

The code needed for one picture:

One picture

THE CODE

<table cellpadding=10>
<tr>
<td>[[Image:St Francis of Assissi, Hassocks, W Sussex JILL ON A272.jpg|thumb|150px|St. Francis of Assisi. Submitted by Jill on A272 ‎]]</td>
</tr>
</table>

THE RESULT

St. Francis of Assisi. Submitted by Jill on A272 ‎

More than one picture

If you want to add another picture to the row (maximum is 4), you just add another row of the code.

THE CODE

<table cellpadding=10>
<tr>
First picture: <td>[[Image:Jireh_Strict_Baptist_Chapel,_Haywards_Heath,_West_Sussex_JILL_ON_A272.jpg‎ |thumb|150px|Jireh Strict Baptist Chapel. Submitted by Jill on the A272 ‎]]</td>
Second picture: <td> [[Image:Perrymount_Road_Methodist_Church,_Haywards_Heath,_West_Sussex_JILL_ON_A272.jpg‎|thumb|150px|Perrymount Road Methodist Church. Submitted by Jill on the A272]]</td>
Third picture: <td>[[Image:St_Edmunds's_Church,_Haywards_Heath,_Sussex_JILL_ON_A272.jpg‎|thumb|150px|St. Edmund's Church Submitted by Jill on the A272]]</td>
</tr>
</table>

THE RESULT

Jireh Strict Baptist Chapel. Submitted by Jill on the A272 ‎

Perrymount Road Methodist Church. Submitted by Jill on the A272

St. Edmund's Church Submitted by Jill on the A272

More than four pictures

The maximum number of pictures in a row should be four.

If more rows are needed, you should make another table below the first one.

Simple Gallery ~ small thumbnails

Using the Mediawiki Gallery gives a preset table. You have little or no flexibility in using this.

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

THE CODE

<gallery caption="CONTENTS">
Image: WIP2_fr2.jpg|[[World_Index_Page]]
Image: Surnames3_fr2.jpg|[[Surname Directory]]
Image: Census_fr2.jpg|[[Census_Search]]
</gallery>
