3,244 PointsWhy do you choose to use a wysiwyg editor for the images ?
When you add a custom field named Images, there is an option to choose field type:image.
Can you explain the strategy why you choose wysispwyg editor rather than image if we are going to be adding images.
Thanks

If they had chosen to use the image uploader, they would have to explain how image objects (blocks of code that store the image URL, size names, height, width, name, caption, title, alt-text) work, how to retrive the URL from it and echo it out. To keep it simple and in context that most people would understand, its easier to let the WYSIWYG editor handle all the extra code.

3,244 PointsThanks Colin. Sounds like y are quite adept at this. I know some php and other programming languages. If you have an chance and want to send me a few steps to get me going, would like to try it. No rush. This response came a while after I put it up. I am certain that you are busy. But I would like the steps.
