1. What a mosimage is and how it is used
2. How to select images from the Joomla stories gallery and make them for use in your content
3. How to set the order of the pictures that you include in your content
4. How to position your images (left, center or right)
5. How to add Alt Text to your images in your Joomla content

You can insert images in Joomla using an extended editor plugin Joomla! Article Image button.

Does the image have to be a certain size.

well yes they have to, first of all, all images should be 72dpi for start. then it depends on what size you want it to be 200 x 300 px or whatever you need it to be. you should resize just for the fact of reducing file size. now regarding positioning maybe learn some css that should help if its more complex. but even a good editor can give you a few options if you dont want to learn css.

You may try to install some plugins, such as phoca gallery to insert images in Joomla content.

I would be interested in learning the answer to #4, how to position your images. I find that sometimes the images in my site tend to be off center and the text does not wrap and it messes up the overall uniformity of the page. How all the images to stick where you want them?

Hi,
Just starting with Joomla, getting on OK for novices. Re: image size, is there a max size
(e.g. 100kb)? We seem to be struggling with this for some reason.
Thanks

Hi, not sure if this helps.. but if its the same with other oscommerce applications. I would just set the height size and leave the width blank so it auto adjusts.

I might be wrong. but always good to give it a shot.

Hi,
I have used Joomla's Media Manager to upload the images, but the main thing is you have to place the images in images/stories.

You can use Simple Image Holder to insert and position images. It's highly customizable, XHTML compliant, and totally free.

What is {mosimage}?
It is a simple way of including images in your content.

Just add some picture (upload the images using Joomla's Media manager), then insert {_mosimage_}(without the underlines)in the place you want an image to appear and save your content item.

how can i insert? any body can help me?

Yes, Simple Image Holder is the one I'm using and can say it's very easy to understand. I don't have much knowledge with Joomla but even I've got this working. I'm sure there's a lot more that can be done with it too.

This is a great thread and answers many questions re what plugins you can use, what size image etc.
A simple screen capture or how to use one of the plugins would be even better.
Or does one of the plugins come with good easy to follow instructions?
Thanks
