[opencms-dev] problem with img tags

[Sebastián Alberoni]

Achim and Mark: Thank you. That is what I imagined too.
If that is the normal behaviour, I think that that "insert image" button
should be removed from the WYSIWYG editor, because it could cause confusion
to the non techie editor user. But we cannot remove that button because this
editor is an activex control that is part of IE, isn't it?
Thanks again.
Sebastian

Also .... if you want to upload a group of images ... work with them
locally, then zip them up, then upload the zip file to the gallery
(making sure the zip option is checked when uploading).

The behaviour you were talking about simply takes the object on YOUR
clipboard and pastes it into whichever container (IE Explorer in WYSIWYG
mode). But, what is on your clipboard is a reference to the image, not
the image itself, so, the container simply inserts the reference, which
can be rendered locally. The image has never been physically moved to
the server.

So by opening the page on another machine, the page still has the
reference to the (your) local image (Eg. c:\test\image1.jpg) and it is
not guaranteed that everyone has that image on their machine.

Hence this is a behavioural trait.

Hy,

yes this is a normal behavour. I can`t understand it too, but it`s
normal.
You shoud it do like this:

First for "normal" users who just but content in Pages, make a image
Gallery and give the users right for read and write.
Then in the WYSIWYG Editor they can chosse the images from the icon for
Image Galleries. When they want to use a new Picture, they also can
upload
via this icon a new one to the Image Gallery, and everything is fine!
I don`t know another way to handle it correct.

Regards Achim
