insert images by admin

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to insert images manuell by the admin?
We have a guestbook with over 300 entries, the most with images.
After import from GMSguestbook the images-links are deleted, also in the sql-database. Is there any possibility to insert the links? I tried it manuell in some entries, but it’s not working.
Kind regrads, Markus

Hi Markus,

I don’t know :)

Where exactly is the image located?
Is it the gravatar image set in the database for each guestbook message?
Or is it an a element in the content of the guestbook message?

Can you share what exactly such an element and url look like?

Hey Marcel, it has nothing to do with gravatar images. What i mean are images from the media library who are insert in the guestbook content like this:
For safety reasons the images are only insert manuell by the admin.

I hope you know now what i mean

Hi Markus,

I’m sorry, but there is no option to save links from DMS entries.

I tried looking into disabling it in the import, but stripping html is just about everywhere in this plugin.
At import it would need to be converted to BBcode for an import to work. That is currently not built in.

Hi Marcel,

let us forget the import entries from DMS :)

when i have a new entrie in your guestbook i, as the adim not the user himself, want to insert an images which in the upload folder wp-content upoalds. is there any possibility?

Hi Markus,
There is not a built-in way to do that, it is not integrated with the Media Library.

What you can do manually is one browser-tab open in the Media Library. On the list view there is an action for each item “Copy URL to clipboard”, which is the URL of the image. You can enter that in the popup for BBcode images.

Alternatively, on the view with a single image, there is the field for “File URL” that you can copy.

I thought the Add-On will allow to add a field to the form to be able to upload an image. How do i do that?

Hi Marcin,
It’s often better to start a new thread when you start a new discussion about a different subject :)

You can go to Guestbook > Add-On > Misc-tab.
There is an option to enable image upload. Please be aware that users need to be logged in and have certain permissions. It’s not for guest visitors.
