Image and textwrap

Hi guys, another one from me. Thanks for your patience :)

one of the only real issues ive ever had with ocPortal is the text wrap of images in blog/news articles. I know it was hugely updated in v8, but im still struggling with it.

The method i use is as follows, let me know if im getting something wrong;

• Attachments, then click upload...select the file.
• From the image options screen i select "Embed Image (If Possible)
• Align to left/right depending on the article
• I then click "Use"

Now, the image embeds into the article edit box beautifully, but when i publish the article the text wrap and alignment fails and the image is places between lines rather than wrapped. When i click edit, the formatting in the article edit box is again aligned and wrapped perfectly.

Have i missed a step? Or this this a bug?

Here is an example of a page that shows up perfect in the edit box, but fails on publishing.

I suspect the Convert HTML to Comcode option you were planning to try disabling is also causing this. We now have this option off by default for new installs.

I'm going to have a shot at fixing this anyway, but my suggestion is to set that option off.

Yes, I've had a look, the "Convert HTML to Comcode" option and the attachment layout features, aren't going to play well together. I'm actually going to disable those features if the "Convert HTML to Comcode" option is on.

Definitely disable "Convert HTML to Comcode".

Have you tried using any of the vertical alignment options under the advanced tab in the attachment uploader?

Hi Chris,

I have disabled the "Convert HTML to Comcode" and have come across another problem. The alignment is sorted i think.

However, the image now randomly disappears completly on publishing. When i open the edit box, the image is still there. To get it back i have to delete the image in the edit box and attach it again.

I cant quite work out under what circumstances it vanishes, will let you know if i can identify any trend.

Bob, thanks for the suggestion. Is that the option under 'Advanced'? I took a look at that but couldnt quite work out the difference between the options so will do some experimenting

Yes, in the attachments overlay under the "Advanced" section which is shown hidden, there is an option for vertical alignment with four different options to choose from. I've not used it yet but made amental note about it as I will be going back to "illustrate" some of my articles.
