I am working on making my pages (contact us, about us etc) prettier. I am using the WYSIWYG. When I click to insert an image I get this great screen with everything but a search button to locate the graphic. If I pop over to File Manager and locate the graphic and look at the properties I see a long string that is anything but the actual URL of the graphic so I have to pop back and forth between the File manager and the WYSIWYG and hand type the entire URL which is not all that easy. I have to guess at the size of the graphic etc.

What happened to Search for the Graphic? OR what am I doing wrong?

Unfortunately this is another of the 'improvements' made when we also migrated from V4 to V7. What some forum users have done is create an excel spreadsheet with each of the photo sizes (800, 300, 100) and coresponding addresses. You will find a spreadsheet like this a pain to create and update, but a heaven-sent when sending info to Google Base, Yahoo Shopping, Amazon, etc. I, for one, am very close to setting up an Access Database tieing all the info together. Too bad it had to come to this, but so goes progress.

On the other hand, there are other features of V7 (not available in V4) that are quite nice....like the url redirect feature....

I feel your pain,
Karol

Wow that is amazing. How could they leave out such a necessary part of web creation.

NetSol... what do you say about this flaw?

The wysiwyg is a 3rd-party control and this was not a built in feature. I imagine sooner or later we'll integrate something with the Image Manager control, found on other areas for navigating/uploading images, but we're concentrated on business-critical features at the moment.

Business Critical???? Adding images is "business critical". How about getting all this stuff working correct before migrating????? I havent really found anything about V7 thats as good as V4 yet. You would think that adding images to a website would be one of the main priorities since that is what website visitors are mostly looking for for. I am spending 3 times the amount of time email customer pics because I cant get them on my site. BLAH! Give me my V4 back. It wasnt very good either but better than this junk!
