Displaying pictures on command pages

Potatoboy 22 Mar 2011 20:07

I'm having trouble making the pictures I upload display on the 68k command pages. I can upload the files fine onto the page, and I've gotten some other people's pictures to display, but I can't get my pictures to display for some reason. I'm using Ti-connect to take a picture of the screen, then I save it as a JPEG, and then I use Paint to change the file to a PNG file, but for some reason, the file doesn't display on the command pages when I try to display a picture. I've only tried two pages, and those were both pages I created: the round() command page, and the getDate() command page. The getDate() command page has a picture, but it is another picture with the same name as the one I uploaded? I'm getting a bit confused about this all…

Thanks,
~Potatoboy

Matbe it needs to be .gif? That is usually what the pictures are, I believe.

I put them as PNG because that's what the guide recommends, because they are high detail and small, but maybe that's what is causing the problem. I'll try it with different formats then… I don't really see why the pictures need to be high detail, as they are fairly small anyway…

Oops, maybe I've been doing it wrong? It still worked, though… Plus, all of my screenshots are automatically in .gif for TICalc and the .gif is small, anyway. There are only two colors to worry about, really.

What is the page link? I can check the file URL for you.

NOTE: The most web-safe image formats are .tif, .png. .jpg, .gif (in order of quality).

Oh… I was working on
http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/68k:getdate and
http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/68k:round
Those are the pages for the getDate() command and the round() command. On the round() command page, there is no picture, but on the getDate() command page, there is another picture that is not the one I want. The pictures I want are attached to the pages at the bottom where it says "Files"

Actually, I think I found a solution to this. The files are usually stored in the command index area, and then you access them from the command page… I just need to move them to another place!

Sorry for the triple post, but one thing I still don't get is why my images say "PNG Image" and a lot of other similar images just say "PNG Image Data" and are about 5 to 8 times smaller than my files…?

Sorry for the long reply, but I had to eat dinner then run to the store (literally run).

It seems that both of the images are currently working on the page?

EDIT: I believe that a PNG Image Data file just contains the information about the image so that a browser or whatever can draw the image itself, rather than store the entire picture.

Oh, sorry. I didn't see that edit button there… Anyway, I think they work now, but for most of the pages, there's already an image out there that is stored with the article name, so someone went and did all the pictures, but they didn't do all the articles… Well, it's working better now.
