Jason Filby	Sunday 02 November 2003 9:40:46 am Hi all What's the best way to embed images into an article/infopage? It seems that the only way to do this is to use the HTML img tag - but the downside of that is that the image is in the filesystem instead of the database. Any ideas on this welcome, Thanks Jason

Once the image is added to the system, you can choose it as a "Related Object" when editing your article. Then, you just cut and paste the <object> tag (which it will present you) into the article text wherever you want it to show up.

Marco Zinn	Monday 03 November 2003 1:36:02 pm Hi, you can place your "image" objects anywhere in the tree, but the "media tab" is adviced, as this will give you preview thumbnail (very neat!.). Just two hints: 1. Buy the online editor ;) 2. Currently, ez does _not_ allow images (or other related objects) inside a List (bullet or numbered). They will disappear.

Hi all

What's the best way to embed images into an article/infopage? It seems that the only way to do this is to use the HTML img tag - but the downside of that is that the image is in the filesystem instead of the database.

Any ideas on this welcome,

Thanks
