poll images

[Bunnie]

Hi,

is it possible to have images in the question and answers?

Hi Bunnie

The answer fields in the popup during poll creation will accept BBCode, so images are possible there without the use of a plugin.

The question field will accept plain text only. I don't know if a plugin could be made to allow images there. If so, maybe through the use of a key? In any case, it would likely be quite complex and I doubt the juice would be worth the squeeze. JMO.

Thanks retreat.

I first added an image in the thread. Then in BBC view I copied the BBC code and pasted in an answer field of the poll.

This code was literally showed in the answer; so no image.

where did it go wrong?

What you pasted was probably truncated. There seems to be a limit to how much BBCode can be pasted into the answer fields.

For instance, either of these will paste completely:

[img]https://storage.proboards.com/forum/images/bbcode/image.png[/img]

[img src="https://storage.proboards.com/forum/images/bbcode/image.png" alt=" "]




This:
[img alt=" " src="https://storage.proboards.com/forum/images/bbcode/image.png" style="max-width:100%;"]

Will be truncated to this:
[img alt=" " src="https://storage.proboards.com/forum/images/bbcode/image.png" style="max-width:100%
Which of course will not display as an image.

Okay.

So what to do? Use TinyUrl.com or something

I don't think tiny URL will work in this case as images need to have an image extension (.jpg, .gif, .png) which tiny URL obscures. My recommendation would be to re-upload to an image host that automatically shortens their links. Imgur comes to mind, and since these aren't layout images you'll be okay as per their TOS (:

I tested this using a tiny Url link. It does function properly both in posts and in the poll answers.

This BBCode will produce an image:

[img src="https://tinyurl.com/2ruytauu" style="max-width:100%;" alt=" "]

Like so:





So either method, (tiny URL or an image host that provides short links) will work.
