How to add a photo to your wiki (using a Mac)

 

If you are using Safari to browse the Wiki, my advice is Don't Bother

 

The problem is that PBwiki isn't compatible with the editing tool (though it's fine for viewing)

 

The best you can do is to upload the photo using the Upload Files link (bottom right) and then drag and drop the file into your page from the images show all link

 

This will give you a link as below which will open your photo in a new window.

But, But, But....

 

As you can see below it can be done.

All you need is a different browser on your Mac

 

First you need to go to the Firefox website (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/) and download the browser (make sure it's the Mac version)

 

When this is installed you will need to set it up. To set up firefox for use in the CLC you need to go to:

 

Firefox, preferences, advanced, network.  Then click on setings.

 

When in settings, change them as in this screenshot (except click on the Manual proxy Configuration, use the diect connection at home):

 

 

 

Click OK and it should work.

 

Once you are on line to insert your photo you should:...

 

Go to edit page,

 

Click on the insert image button

 

Next click on browse to find the file (your photo) you want.

 

Then click on upload followed by OK to insert the image.

 

Let me know how you get on.
