[edit] print version of images

So, one thing that's probably important to note is the relationship between thumbnails and print versions of the guide. What happens with those? What's the best procedure for making images printable? --Evan 14:50, 9 Aug 2004 (EDT)

This is something I thought about when standing in the rain and waiting for the bus. It would be great, if we could have the high resolution images instead of thumbnails when the "Printable version" link is selected. We could still use the width and height parameters in the <img> tag to set the size of the image on screen, but in print I think most browsers will use the full resolution of the image, even though the height and width parameters have been used to scale it down on the screen. -- Trsqr 11:10, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

[edit] external image inclusion

Is it possible to include images from external servers by a <img src="http.."> tag? Currently i work on a template for automatic map inclusion (for german wikitravel), it seems not to work, i guess the substitution of the parameters in '{{{ }}}' works only in wikilink syntax like '[link]'etc.?!

No, it's not possible. Jpatokal 11:48, 7 Aug 2005 (EDT)

[edit] image sharing between languages

Is it possible to share images between different language editions of Wikitravel, and how is it done? It would be much easier to just have (say) Image:en:whatever.png instead of manually copying them. JSt 10:16, 22 Nov 2005 (EST)

No, it's not possible. It's been discussed before though [1] [2] and will hopefully be implemented soon. Jpatokal 23:03, 22 Nov 2005 (EST)

It's now possible; see Shared:Main Page. --Evan 11:17, 16 Feb 2006 (EST)

Is there any easy way to move image from en: to shared, so it can be reused in language version? --JanSlupski 14:43, 6 April 2006 (EDT)

As far as I can tell, no. It'd be pretty handy, though. --Evan 18:19, 6 April 2006 (EDT)

[edit] Error Messages

I keep getting errors when trying to upload some images. It says "The file you uploaded seems to be empty." I know the file is there, and I'm able to upload other images from the same folder. I have this problem with multiple images. Somebody please help. Tennreb 10:41, 16 Feb 2006 (EST)

There seems to be a hard upper limit to the size of the files you can upload — I've gotten this when uploading file over a couple of megs. Jpatokal 10:48, 16 Feb 2006 (EST)

Yeah, it was set to 2Mb for PHP. I've reset it trepidatiously to 8Mb so even folks with super-fancy cameras can upload their original files. I'm wondering, though: doesn't that seem awfully large? --Evan 11:16, 16 Feb 2006 (EST)

Not if you actually want to print out the image. Jpatokal 11:33, 16 Feb 2006 (EST)

[edit] Image won't show

I uploaded a photo to wiki shared, and added it to an aticle, but the image just wont show. The article is Wairoa. I intend to add more photos for alot of towns around Hawkes Bay, but id really like them to work. Im very new at this and still in the bumbling around stage. Thanks, Mesipisian

You need to copy the filename very carefully: upper and lower case matter. Take a look above to see how it works. Jpatokal 09:41, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

I don't think it was the filename, but probably a cache issue. Looking at the history the filename was probably the issue at first, but he still couldn't see it even after he had the right filename. -- Andrew H. (Sapphire) 10:05, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

I have had the same problem whenever I have uploaded a newer version of an image. It has taken ~15 minutes, before all the thumbnails have worked. I have just thought that maybe it takes a while until the thumbnails are created. The "See the high resolution image" link has always worked though. -- Trsqr 11:06, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

[edit] What about non-square Images ??

The HELP says: to define the PIX size. BUT which size? The horizontal or vertical pixel size??

Sorry! Confused :-) TerryKing 13:25, 1 January 2007 (EST)

Horizontal. --Peterfitzgerald ^Talk 20:53, 23 May 2007 (EDT)

Yep... if you put 250px, then it will automatically adjust the horizontal:

[[Image:example.jpg|thumb|250px|Description of image]]

[edit] .SVG Images

Am I correct that .svg images will not display? OldPine 15:28, 2 October 2007 (EDT)

Correct. →shared:Tech:Render_SVG_images_as_PNG_images --Peter ^Talk 00:45, 3 October 2007 (EDT)

[edit] panorama photos

There is no definition on how to include panorama pictures (those which are very wide). I've seen pictures with a horizontal scroll bar but cannot find them right now. I tried to find markup by looking up references to panorama images but without success. I uploaded Malta_Three_Cities_from_Upper_Barakka_Gardens.jpg and would like to include it but need help with the markup. hscholz 22:59 12 Aug 2008 (EST)
