Topic: Unable to add image to Kete 1.2
Topic type:
I am having problems adding images to new topics. Baptistlife.org.nz is based on 1.2
I managed to add the image but when I tried to add a new topic together with an image, it didn’t work.
Comes out with a cross inside a small box
I would appreciate if anyone is able to assist. Thanks in advance

What I did was:
Perhaps this is not the right steps.
Great. Having the steps really helped isolate the problem. Thank you.
There is some subtly to acquiring the image's correct image file URL. What you pasted in was the image's detail page, rather than the image's file URL.
To acquire the image's file URL do the following:
- go to the image detail page for the image you want
- select the image size you want (small, small square, medium, large, or original)
- right click (or if you have a single button mouse on a mac, control click) on the image itself on the page
- choose "Copy Image Location" in Firefox, or "Copy Image Address" in Safari from the menu that pops up or in IE choose "properties" and then highlight and copy the URL.
- go to the topic as you did before and enter the URL into the image tool.
We have had some requests to simplify this process and there are ways to, but it will require development work which has yet to be contributed or funded. Will report back here if it gets implemented.
Thanks Walter. It works.
Great! Glad to hear that did the trick.
Thank you for asking your question here. It may help someone else that has the same problem in the future.
It also encourages others to ask other questions here. Very important in the grand scheme of things!
If you have non-technical questions about how to use/run a Kete site, old.kete.net.nz can be useful for that too.

Could you walk us through the process in a bit more detailed manner, please?
In other words, a list of steps to reproduce the problem, like so:
Obviously you should change your list to match your circumstances.
