Photos

Test Thumbnail

Photos can be UPLOADED to the cvillepedia mediawiki server using the 'Upload File' command in the toolbox. Once an image is uploaded, it can be referenced within an article like this:

Thumbnail images are supported by an installation of ImageMagick (installed by BNSI on the webserver on January 2, 2008).

External photos cannot be embedded and appear only as links. This is a setting we can change to allow certain image sources.

External image example: http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/12/23/20071219full.jpg
