Enter image in RadEditor

[Rob Venable]

Hi,
Is there a way to add an image to the RadEditor? I see an image icon but I can`t really add one.
I have an application where I need to add an image or even a newsletter as a graphic (.pub file) pud I can`t find a way of doing it.

Thanks

If you're using the HTML edit mode you could just stick an image tag in :)

<img src="../../Img/editor.jpg" alt="product logo" style="margin-top: 25px; float: left; margin-right: 15px;" />

This is for my client that is not familiar with HTML. I did find a way to view the images in the RadEditor by setting the

ImageManager-ViewPaths

 

="~/images".
I now see the images from the server but when I add an image and send it...it doesn't appear in my email and I don't have an option to "view images" in my email. Everytime I get an email that contains an image, I always have a "view images" link at the top of my email to view it.
Any ideas on that?

I'd be guessing that the email is just saving the link to the image - rather than the image itself. So if the email recipient cannot access the image path on the server, or it is a relative path, then there would be nothing to display. If you add the "alt" tag to the image you will be able to check this because the alt text will show up in place of the image.

I think I know what's going on. The site has an SSL certificate and I can display the image if I use the absolute path https://mydomain.com/pathtomyimage.
I guess there's no way around it.
Thanks

Hi Rob,

My suggestion is to enable the MakeUrlsAbsolute content filter of RadEditor, which will export the images with absolute paths. This should fix the problem.
