How To Upload A Picture Into Your SWTOR RP-Wiki

1.) Find a pic that you want (obviously)

2.) Head over to http://www.evil-wizards.org/swtor-wiki/index.php/Main_Page

3.) On the bottom left of your screen you'll see a section called 'Toolbox'

4.) Under that there will be an option to 'Upload File'.

5.) Upload you picture that you want for your character by clicking the 'browse' tab & then click 'upload file' at the bottom of the black box.

6.) You'll then see the picture that you've uploaded appear at the top of the screen & underneath it will be the name of the file. For example: Creed_Swtor-Profile.jpg‎.

7.) Copy the file name & head back to the wiki you want to edit.

8.) Click 'edit' at the top of the your page, and now comes the tricky part...

9.) Assuming that this was my page the following would show up:

{| class="prettytable FCK__ShowTableBorders" style="float: right; margin: 5px" width="300"
|-
! bgcolor="#003c74" colspan="2" | <span style="color: rgb(255,255,255)">Creed'''</span>
|-
! colspan="2"| [[Image:Creed_Swtor-Profile.jpg]]
|-
! bgcolor="#003c74" colspan="2" |

10.) Now where I've highlighted the Creed_Swtor-Profile.jpg in red, all you have to do is replace the name of the file with the your file name that you've just uploaded for your wiki picture. So using another image that I've uploaded it may look like this:

[[Image:Xizor_Smoke_pic.jpg]]

11.) After you've done that remember to 'Save Page' at the bottom. I also recommend previewing it first.

Note: some pictures may be a bit large for your wiki but you can play about with the pixel sizes if you so wish. Personally I prefer to make it the right size beforehand in MS paint.

Hope thats helped!!

Just wanted to post what a modified picture command looks like.

Thanks Black Heart.

Hmmph... My picture is a .bmp , it won't let me upload, what can I do?

open pic in paint and save as JPEG??

^ What Nex said.

Yeah, I have to admit I save almost all images as a .jpg

I dont know whether or not the SWTOR RP Wiki site supports anything else, but it definately supports .jpg

Yeah it supports .png & .jpg and thats it I think.

Not sure where to post this but I need advice on how to get the bloomin' signature to show an image on this forum.

I've uploaded the pic (both as .jpg and .png) to photobucket, got my nice [ img ] code, pasted that into the signature dealie (image is there on the preview) but so far no signature image!!

Help anyone??

Let me look into for you mate. I think someone else had problems with this not long ago.

check always attach signature in the preferences section on profile??

Right I've allowed it so everyone can now have signatures. If that doesn't work you can try what Nex suggested.

Has this worked?? Been ****ing about with this for ages.

Driving me mental.

Yep!! Thats great too!!

Hoorah!!!

Thanks for the help guys!! Even though now it seems totally not worth it!!! Yay!!!

Very nice there, Red - goes well with the Avatar; by which I mean a very nice professional look ^^

Cheers, that's kind of you to say. I'm going to keep fiddling but these give a good indication of "Redwatch" for now.

Hmmm... I opened and saved it as paint again... Still doesn't work!

Sureshot updated the site involving signatures at the time I was having trouble but Nex's prompt was something I had missed. Worked a treat for me.
