AVID:Adding Captures

Adding images to the CLG Wiki is quite simple. Here's a quick rundown of the main ways you can add and use images.

"Upload File"
Perhaps the most obvious way to upload an image is to click the "upload file" button in the sidebar and follow the instructions to upload your image.

Existing images
If the image you want is already uploaded, simply type the following to have it appear in the page: This also works in forum threads.

New Images
To upload an Image while you edit, simply download the image, then drag it from the folder to the "Drop Files here" box in the editor, as shown below. Next, name your files as you wish. Finally, click "upload all". You can do this for many files at a time, though beware, there is a rate limit after which it will stop uploading your files. If you encounter this, you simply need to clear the failed uploads, add them back to the list and click "upload" again.

Formatting your images
When adding a single image to a wiki page, we recommend that you center the image by adding  to the above markup, resulting in:

If you'd like to make your image bigger or smaller, add, where Image Size is a size value in px, for example:

This can be used in conjunction with the previously described alignment parameter, for example:

Note: Do not use the  parameter when adding images on wiki pages.

Galleries
To create a gallery of several images, use the following markup:

For wiki pages we recommend the addition of the following parameters: Note: You do not need to use "px" for the  parameter.

If you upload multiple files at a time by dragging and dropping them into the editor, you don't need to worry about writing out the markup, you just need to click "Insert All As Gallery" and it will make the gallery for you. All you need to do is add the aforementioned  and.

Happy Editing!
