Links and images inside paragraphs

There is (at least) one thing I can figure out how to handle
and that is
how to let the users/authors put links and images inside
paragraphs. My
stories are build using paragraphs, that display the text in
each
paragraph like <p>text</p>. I can add related
links and put them after the
story in a "related links" box, but I would like
to put a link inside the
paragraph. Should I ask the users to type the HTML code or
is there
another way? What about images. I would like to do something
like <p><img
src="blablabla">yadda yadda yadda</p> to
put the image inside the
paragraph. Is there an easy way to do this or?

Hi Jesper

Bricolage will pass html embedded in your text if you put it
in. But
your editors will have to learn html.

You can look up the wiki article on rich paragraphs (see
http://wiki.bricolage.cc/bin/view/Bric/TuteMasonTextT
extile). Or if you
use it ubiquitously, then just call text::textile for all
your
paragraphs and let your editors use some subset of Textile
markup.

I don't know how much overhead this adds. Does anyone out
there know?

You should probably convert your "regular"
paragraphs for richthml  
paragraphs.
In your Bricolage configuration file, just make sure that
you have:

# WYSIWYG CONFIGURATION
[ENABLE_WYSIWYG] = yes
WYSIWYG_EDITOR = Xinha or HTMLAREA

as you prefer, here at SAPO we used to use the HTMLAREA but
right now  
in the more recent bricolage instalations we're using the
XINHA  
richhtml editor.
Don't forget to install Xinha library before that, but
you'll find  
url's and instructions for that above those options in the 

bricolage.conf.

After that you're able to define RichHTML paragraph's, just
make sure  
when you define their element_type you choose WYSIWYG
instead of the  
traditional TextArea.
Hope this helps.

I know, but I would like to avoid that.

I will take a look at this. Thanks for the pointer.

Thanks, I will try to install that and see if it helps me.

Is this with the admin user?  Wondering if the account your
using has
permissions to read / create those media types?
