Using Multiple Images

Page being edited by Caroline

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

Essex Yeomanry

Election Count

Externally hosted images

|}

THE RESULT

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: Surnames3_fr2.jpg|[[Surname Directory]]
Image: Census_fr2.jpg|[[Census_Search]]
</gallery>

EXPLANATION OF THE CODE

THE RESULT

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

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

EXPLANATION OF THE CODE

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

 {| width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="15"

THE RESULT

By adjusting the cellpadding and size of image, you can have as many pictures in a row as you wish.

 width="100%" height="35px" border="0" cellpadding="10"

 width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="15"

You can mix image sizes in the same row.

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:

 [[image:InitialsB.jpg|75px]]

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.

5. Edit the page and remove the [[image:InitialsB.jpg|75px]]

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

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.

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

Hello Sailor

Table as used in the Places of Worship

xxxxxxxxxx still working on this bit xxxxxxxxxx

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.
