Upon viewing images that I uploaded to the image gallery, I noticed that I was unable to select my image, LT-PW-02.PNG.

In an attempt to rectify this I deleted this image and re-uploaded, but alas I am still unable to select and expand this image and I seem to have made a bit of a mess of the image gallery with a deleted image now showing, looking somewhat unprofessional.

Could you possibly suggest where I've gone wrong?

Regards,

James Moorhouse

Hi James,

In order to delete your image or edit the caption text, you must click the My images link to display only your own images.

Or click this link: http://85a.co.uk/forum/gallery_view.php

You will then find that each image has a Delete link above it and the caption is displayed in an editable box. Make your changes and then click the Save changes link.

By default, the Gallery displays All images, i.e. everyone's images together. You can edit only your own images, so in that view the images are not editable.

After deletion, your image will be replaced with an "Image deleted" icon rather than disappearing entirely. This looks a bit untidy, but there is method in the madness -- doing it that way means:

1. any links to the image which may have been posted in forums or elsewhere will still work, and

2. the results in the Detailed Site Search will still work.

The latter is important because it is the only way to search the Image Gallery. It is therefore important when adding images to the gallery to give them a meaningful caption if possible.

regards,

Martin.

Hi James,

The reason your image wouldn't expand is that you included quote characters in the caption. Quote characters (single or double) are not allowed in the image captions, because they break the script for the onclick event.

I have now removed the quotes, and the image is clickable again. :)

I thought I had included some code to remove quotes, but obviously it needs another look. Sorry about that.

If you need to quote something, you can use the accent character `like this` (extreme top-left key on the keyboard), which will work for everyone.

Or alternatively you can use word-processor style curly quotation marks “like this” (Alt+0147, Alt+0148 keys), but they may not appear correctly on all users' screens.

regards,

Martin.
