Tyranade Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 As you can see here in the article preview there is no image. But once you click on the Article there is an image that I inserted into the post. how do I make it so that that picture will show up in the preview on the main page?

opentype Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 You need to activate the Record Image field for that database and upload the image there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done that and it only makes a REALLY tiny image in the corner that can not be brought to full size once clicked on which is why I want the article preview to actually show any images in the article. See if I click on the image it does not expand into the full size picture hence why I want to upload the image as an attachment, put it in the article and have any images in the article show up in the preview on the front page.

It’s a teaser image in a thumbnail size like it’s typically done on article overview pages on thousands of websites. You would have to change the listing template to exchange the preview block with the full article content, which then also would contain images or other embedded content. But that leads to all sort of other problems. I wouldn’t really recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about not using a teaser image and just making any pictures that i put in the article show up in the preview along with the text? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I already answered that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH sorry I thought the other part of what you was talking about was still relating to the preview image. My bad. Thanks for your help. It is greatly appreciated. Last time I used IPB was version 1 so I am VERY behind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
