Footer image and text alignment?
|
Can't Post
|
|
This is my sixteenth post here --all previous ones have been deleted-- as I try to figure out the footer.
Below, there should be two versions of my footer. I am attempting to recreate the footer I had on the old boards, which can be seen, for example, here.
In the first version below, I used Markup style, and the photobucket image comes through fine but I can't see an option to align the image left. This is what I typed, except that where you see a boldfaced X or Y, I have an opening or closing square bracket, respectively:
XimageYhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/u35/NE_Brigand/TORN-Hobbit-I/scan0001-1.jpgX/imageYXurl "http://www.theonering.net/rumour_mill/rpg/viewer/readingroom/45B5BADA000267B6.html"YTolkien Illustrated!X/urlY Jan. 29-May 20: Visit the Reading Room to discuss art by John Howe, Alan Lee, Ted Nasmith and others, including Tolkien himself.
And here is what I have for the second version, using HTML as previously on TORN (I've tried here with both lowercase and capital letters with no difference in result). The alignment, sizing, and description are working, but the image doesn't come through. In this case a bold X and Y replace an opening and closing angle bracket, respectively:
XIMG SCR="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/u35/NE_Brigand/TORN-Hobbit-I/scan0001-1.jpg" WIDTH=125 HEIGHT=71 ALT="Detail from earliest version of Thror's Map" ALIGN="left"YXA HREF="http://www.theonering.net/rumour_mill/rpg/viewer/readingroom/45B5BADA000267B6.html"YTolkien Illustrated!X/AY Jan. 29-May 20: Visit the Reading Room to discuss art by John Howe, Alan Lee, Ted Nasmith and others, including Tolkien himself.
Any suggestions?

Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament... There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth, and more than that: Death: by the divine paradox, that which ends life, and demands the surrender of all, and yet by the taste (or foretaste) of which alone can what you seek in your earthly relationships (love, faithfulness, joy) be maintained, or take on that complexion of reality, of eternal endurance, which every man's heart desires.
--J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter #43, to his son Michael

html angle brackets don't work here; it's a somewhat modified BBCode.
It's either image or img in tags with square brackets:
XimgYhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/drogodrogo/morannon_black_gate.gifX/imgY
If you use Photobucket, it's the img code they supply, as with this below
The biggest difference between Gossamer Forum BBcode and other boards (notably Invisionfree boards) seems to be that you omit the = in tags such as the URL tag and font size and color text.
Reera the Red has mastered the code pretty well for images, so you might PM her for more techie assistance.

See 2.10 of the FAQ:
Can I use more HTML code than is available in the Advanced Editor or via Markup?
Yes. Click on the [Edit Profile] link at the top of the board, and then click on [Display Settings]. You may change your “Default Post Style” to “Plain Text Only” (Basic Editor), “Markup” (Advanced Editor), “HTML” (you may use “true” HTML to format your posts) and “Markup and HTML,” (you may use the Advanced Editor plus add your own HTML formatting in the “Basic Editor” window).
If you want to use the Basic Editor, there will be a link "Get Markup Help" above the "Post" box that will give you formatting examples. That's in the following FAQ seciton. 
FAQ 2.09:
How can I get markup help?
If you use the “Basic Editor” to reply to posts, you have an assortment of Markup” HTML available to format your posts. Note that instead of using the traditional <….> signs to enclose the code, Markup uses brackets: [….]. To see what’s available, or to get help while composing a reply, click on the [Get Markup Help] link at the top of the “Post” box when you are replying to a post. Remember you can also toggle to the Advanced Editor at any time if you use IE and Mozilla web browsers (See 2.8 above).

It was as simple as that; I spent three hours typing "SCR" for "SRC" (while fiddling interminably with the photobucket address, reading and re-reading the FAQs, etc.) and didn't notice my mistake even while checking against a half-dozen HTML tutorial web pages. What I really needed was a fresh pair of eyes, and not to be working on this for most of the night.
Thanks, Revie!

Believe me I read and re-read the FAQ, and in fact I was using HTML, because in addition to the very good FAQ material, the edit profile page itself plainly stated that I could use both HTML and Markup in my footer. As indicated in my question, I was showing my attempted both in Markup, which gave me the image but doesn't include an option for aligning text next to a picture, and HTML, which was aligning fine but not giving me the image...
because as Revie noted I had a typo in my code. Ugh.
Thanks, Altaira!

As noted in Reera's thread, it turns out that HTML works in my footer, but not in my posts, no matter what profile setting I select. Sorry to have doubted you, d(d).
As can be seen by my finally corrected footer, which uses HTML and angle brackets. Though I think you have to select the option of HTML in the edit profile page... html angle brackets don't work here; it's a somewhat modified BBCode.
