How do I get the Image Module to show in the module options for the Community version of Dotnetnuke?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm not sure to which module you are referring. There isn't a module named Image Module.

But ... if you have a module that you want to appear in a particular category, go to the extensions page and edit the module. You will find the category as an option. There are several references to doing this in the current "DNN 6.x Basics - How to Build a Website" tutorial, so watching that should help.

I hope that at least starts to answer the question. Ask again if I misunderstood.

Joseph,

Thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated!! I will check yout your suggestion. What I want to do is place an image/picture on my webpage. I thought I need a module to work with single images. What is the best way to insert a single image into the website?

Thanks,

For just a single image and no fanciness, just include in in the "contents" of an HTML module. There is a Media tool in the editor with which you can insert an image.

Actually you can mix text, images, and graphics quite easily with the HTML module since you can basically put almost any HTML into it.

Joe,

I figured out how to get the image in a page; however, I'm now struggling with the Image Map Editor which is part of the Rich Text Editor. I did a search for the Image Map Editor, but it brings back so many links to "image" that i do not know where to begin.

Could you point me in a direction that would have basic information related to the Image Map Editor? I want to be able to "crop"/ resize an image and get it placed on a page in a specific location.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mike,

You don't want the Image Map Editor. That is for editing "Image Maps" not images.

If you right click on an image in the Editor, you'll bring up the Image Properties window and you can use that to scale the image. There is nothing in HTML/CSS that will crop an image. If you need to do that, you'll have to do that with a standard image editing application and upload the cropped image.

You can always edit the "source" of the HTML to apply styles and attributes to an img tag or a surrounding div.
