Issue Working with Images
 

Don,  I am having issues with metapost. When uploading an image it shrinks and I try to zoom it to make it more readable it zooms a little bit, but not enough to make it reable. This is preventing us from using Metapost.

Please take a look.  I want the users to see the image and be readable.

Here is the article with metapost =  URL

Here is the article simple adding the article in dnn rich text box  module:  URL

Also what process should we follow while using the MetaPost. I remember something like metapost can't add new articles. So, I am supposed to create an article in zldnn using dnn and then open the article using metapost and update and publish it through live writer.

Is this the right procedure or is there any other way of doing it?

Thanks,

Venkat

Issue Working with Images
 

Hi Venkat,

When you add an image to WLW, it will resize the image for you. You will need to change the size of the image back to the original size. If you want to have a smaller thumbnail image created, you can keep the image small, but choose the size of the expanded image. Here’s how you would accomplish each of these tasks:

Keep the Image The Same Size

When you first add an image, it will appear small as follows:

clip_image002

This is because WLW has created a thumbnail image as well as a larger image it will show when the user clicks on the image.

To show the full image, click the advanced tab in the properties pane on the right as follows:

clip_image004

Then change the Size dropdown to Original as follows:

clip_image006

Optionally, return to the properties tab and remove the drop shadow that WLW adds by default. Also change the Link to dropdown to None as follows:

clip_image008

Leave Smaller Image, But Make Popup Full Size

If you want to have a thumbnail image, but want the pupup window to remain full sized, you can resize the image as needed.

clip_image010

clip_image012

Then click the Options button in the default tab related to picture properties.

clip_image014

Set the Size property to Original.

clip_image016

Regarding the use of the DNNArticle provider, you can create new article with this provider. It is only the Text/HTML module provider which has the limitation where you can only edit existing Text/HTML modules added to the site.

Hope this helps,

Don
