Adding images to my lists.

Zozoulini 15 years, 3 months ago at Jan 14 23:52 -
Hello everyone!

I'm not an experienced internet and Listal user so I'll appreciate very much your help. I have already read many threads in this section of the forum but I didn't find the answer yet.

I have a custom list under construction and I would like to add some images/screenshots in it. How can I do that?
Is the answer the Image example in the "Basic html allowed"?
Can I use images that don't exist in Listal and how?

Thank you!

Yup, just use the tag (without the spaces).

You can host the image elsewhere for example on your own photobucket or imageshack account or what is probably best is to upload the image here to Listal under the appropriate item, click onto the item page then place the cursor over the image, right click view image to get the direct url & use that. You could even hotlink that image from your list back to it's image page using (again without the spaces). So if folk like the image they can click on it & cast a vote.

For example in my latest list I have linked the image in the description to it's item page.

Hope this helps. :-)

Just to complicate it a little bit:

Sometimes the image is just too big to fit in the space for lists and it ends up showing those little bars in the side..

You can re-size it using

The easier way to figure out a good size is opening an empty image on paint, put it in a size you think will be good and enter ctrl+e. Make sure the size is set in pixels.

If you want it so people can click the image to view its full size:

target="_blank" means it'll open in a new window, but you don't exactly have to use it.

Enjoy!

Tip: For images used in the description sidebar set the width to maximum of 300, for images in the list itself set width to a maximum of 600.

You can resize any image on listal by changing the number in the url e.g.

img.listal.com/image/393138/100full-natalia-vodianova.jpg

100 pixels wide



img.listal.com/image/393138/200full-natalia-vodianova.jpg

200 pixels wide



Also if you remove the 'full' part it will create a square image e.g.



img.listal.com/image/393138/100-natalia-vodianova.jpg



This is much better than changing the width="" tag as the entire image is not loaded by the browser.

You need to insert this code into the list notes and just change the src= to the location of the image from the other site e.g.

Code:
<img src="www.google.com/logos/2011/hargreaves11-hp-2.jpg" />

How do you add pictures to a list, that you have on your desktop and not on a website?

You have to add them to listal first as there's no way to add directly from your hard drive.

@Miss Mystery - What is it that you need help with? Making a list of images or creating an image list?

Speaking of which, when I try to add a gif or jpeg from a website to an Image List by entering the direct image url and clicking the "Add Image" button in the "Rearrange & Add Items" window, I get this message:
Could not find any images on this site

burnodo 11 years, 4 months ago at Jan 2 0:59 -
make sure you enter a direct URL, such as:

www.somesite.com/specificimage.jpg


if that doesn't work, the website you're linking to may have direct image access blocked

There's some kind of site malfunction going on right now, nomore. None of the images are loading. Normally all you have to do is go to the image and click "add to list" but right now nothing is working properly.

Hi. Sorry to be posting on this old topic, but apparently I can't create new ones yet. In the image uploading section your supposed to be able to add images via the URL, but when I try that I get the message "The image file is in the incorrect format! We accept jpeg, gif and png (you added : )" Am I doing something wrong?

Image IDs are missing.
For example the id of this picture... or any

is no longer at the bottom of the screen.
