(see discussion there)
afaik the way zikula is currently configured there is no way to cleanly
associate images with articles in insight. i'll try to break this down
clearly:
* our zikula instance currently does not allow for uploading and
hosting images. so you need to upload your images and host them from
somewhere external to zikula.
* when people see images they are interested in on the front page of
insight, they are going to want to be able to click the image to zoom in
on it. right now that isn't possible without handwritten html. you need to
upload a thumb version and a full size version of the image externally,
then wrap the img tag of the thumb with a link tag to point out to the
full size image. and that is hacky.
* the mechanism for displaying images on the front page is extremely
fragile. you need to put the img tag for the article as the VERY FIRST
thing in the 'lead page teaser' field of the article. if you dont it can
mess up how it comes out looking. also, you CANNOT add an img tag in the
'lead page teaser' field of an article that is in the 'featured
stories'
area to the left of mmcgrath's picture on the top - it will blow
everything up.
