" Also now all my images have disappeared... because of the change of the thumbnail positioning.
Now if i add a new post and add the image with the new option to append the image and use it as a thumbnail, the thumbnail position is not the same as before (to the left fo the poll reselts) but rather positions on the top of post in the append image position.
I need the thumbnail position (image align left) for the home page and the permalink.
Lastly if i choose just the thumbnail image by itself postion as I was previously doing, the image doesn't show up on the home page or the permalink... although if I tried to edit the blog entry the image shows up to be edited. "
Actually using the thumbnail image in the daily layout was a bug. The proper way to do things, and this is what has been implemented, is to have one main image(the icon) to be used at the permalink page, and at the home page as well. The thumbnail image is used in list of articles, for example at section index pages, or at themain index for new articles.
Also, I have taken into account the way you are publishing new polls to make it more easy than it was before.
All you need to do during the creation of a new poll is to add an icon to the page. Be sure to upload the image only once, and to select the option 'Set as page icon' only.
On upload, YACS will create an additional thumbnail image derived from the icon image.
As a result, YACS should display:
- at the home page, the icon image flowed to the left -- aside the poll
- at the permalink page, the icon image flowed to the right -- this can be changed in your skin template
- at a section index, the thumbnail image will be used
- at the main index for articles, thumbnail images are used as well
Images have disappeared because YACS now expects icons instead of thumbnails. To avoid the tedious process of changing every page, I have added to the last built a run once script to do that automatically. So please upgrade your server, and images should recover nicely.
By the way, I travelled for the last two weeks in China for business, and will be more available to you now that I'm back in France.
