wiki image thread

upload images for the wiki in this thread


edit: we have turned on image uploading on mediawiki, so adding images to this thread is not required to inline images in wiki articles

stolen from gimpster for temporary testing 

hmm, smf doesn't spit out direct links to files.  how can i get a path that ends in png so MW parses it correctly? Imgur doesn't work either, MW parses the file name as part of the path to the image I think.

It ain't pretty


And the damned editor hides the fu.

And it don't end in png anyhow.... hmmm.

All I see is the image I attached to my previous post... right click > copy image URL and open image in a new tab both give me the SMF php link.

Since I'm not an admin I can't see where the files are even supposed to go, let alone add files to that location. Is there an uploader/file manager for the wiki in the works?

[mkawa]

it seriously needs to end in png for MW to parse it as an image? :/

y u so obtuse MW?!?!

if worse comes to worse, we can just flip on image uploading in MW. what i was trying to avoid was having two image repos, basically.

there may be a nice image hardlinker package attached to an SMF mod. i'll poke around a bit.

it would be nice to have a separate set of images apart from the forum that we can hold to a certain quality + rights ownership standard (to avoid crap images and rights issues like what happened with a certain prolific wiki editor).

[mkawa]

regardless, not being able to embed forum attachments into the wiki is a problem

[mkawa]

fixed.

just paste the url into the page and it will be rendered as an image. note that MW won't resize or thumbnail though.

I found the images for my old "Teensy Keyboard Design Guide". Or whatever it was called, I can't seem to find it at all at the moment. I can upload them if anyone wants to stitch it back together. The images are numbered. So that shouldn't be too much work.

we're just going to turn mediawiki's image upload on. we (meaning i) need to get some repo kinks worked out (following rknize's simple instructions), but it should be on by tomorrow (or maybe the day after that..)
