Tips Insert Image in Joomla!

March 7th, 2008 No comments

There are many ways to insert image(s) in Joomla!. The problem is when the image has a large dimension.

There are several alternative ways:

  1. Insert image with image button in editor. After the image is inserted, click on it and if you use TinyMCE editor, click the Insert/edit image button in editor panel. Select the Appearance tab. Fill the Dimensions field. The downside is the image size still large.
  2. Prepare two images, the original and the “thumbnail“. Insert the thmbnail image with image button in editor. After the image is inserted click on it and for TinyMCE, click Insert/edit link button. Give link to the original image. So the web will display the thumbnail image with reduced size.
  3. You can use the plugin like HighSlide for Joomla! or Protos LightBox plugin. Maybe this is the fastest way, but the downside it use javascript to run the effect. It will slower the web. If there is Slimbox effect, use it instead of Lightbox effect because its lighter.
