Add an Attachment Such as a Picture or Document
If you wish to add a picture or reference a document such as: pdf, ppt, pps, odt, ods, and odp,
Picture files: jpg, jpeg, gif and ping,
Document files: text - txt, MS Word - doc, MS Excel - xls, MS PowerPoint - ppt or pps, Acrobat - pdf
Open Source documents: Open Document text - odt, Open Document SQL - ods, and Open Document presentation - odp
then follow these steps.
For our example we shall add a jpg picture of a Fleur-de-lis assuming you have such a file on your system. If not sustitute any graphic jpg file you have available.
1. Click the File attachments below to enable this feature.
2. Click the Browse button.
3. You are now browsing your computer's file structure. Navigate to the file you wish to upload to the server.
4. Click 'Open" and the file path will be listed in the box to the left of the "Browse button".
5. Click Attach to upload the file. It is up loaded to the 'files' directory associated with the Troop 295's Website on the web server.
6. The file name is listed and underneath the file name is the complete file path of the file in very small lettering - probably 8 pt.
7. Copy the file path to the clipboard.
8. Go back up the the 'Body' text area and assuming you are adding a picture, do the following:
a. Add the following beginning part of the HTML tag: <img src="
b. Now do a right click and select 'paste' to paste the file path in the tag right after the ".
c. Now add "> to complete the tag protocol. You may place the entire tag where ever you want to add the picture within your text - usually on the first line.
d. The complete picture tag string should look like this:
<img src="http://counciltraining.net/295/system/files/fdl-150.jpg">n
which produces this Fleur-de-lis.
e. HINT: often when I copy the file path to the clipboard, I get extra spaces in front of and in back of the file path string. Once you paste the file path string into the tag, be sure and remove all spaces between the two quote marks. There should only be one (1) space in the file path string and that is between the img and the src.
