GOOGLE TOOLBAR SPELL CHECK WORKS IN NUMISWIKI!

RELIQVA VETERA HS NOVIES MILL ABOLITA: I want a link to this phrase, but it does not seem possiview.asp?key=nullble. Why is it do the sub-phrase " NOVIES MILL ABOLITA " and individual terms " RELIQVA " and " VETERA " link and not the entire phrase?

The word HERE is an external link.

Wanna-be numiswiki editor: I want to reuse a jpg from Numiswiki. Just like I see here:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=LEG

1. An IL (internal link) sounds right (you cannot reuse a filename - it's been taken!).

A. The site is https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/.

B. The file is M2_5.gif.

C. Does A+B=C? No! IL: view.asp?key=https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/M2_5.gif

Note that the IL adds code to the beginning: view.asp?key=

Whereas: I cannot successfully reuse the existing file.

Whereas: I cannot recreate the existing because the file name already exists.

Therefore: The only practical solution is to copy the existing file, rename it, save it online somewhere, and import it as a new external link (EL).

That's not an elegant or practical solution :-[

NO YOU JUST COPY AND PASTE THE IMAGE.

2. Now I'll try EL: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/M2_5.gif

No go :(

3. How about an image source tag: < img src="B" > (removing spaces around the < and >, replacing "B" with filename) No go :(.

Try again replacing the "B" with full path and filename... < img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/M2_5.gif" >

with quote marks

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/M2_5.gif">

without quote marks

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/M2_5.gif>

Either way, no go: -(.

4. Now trying 'Control-click, drag and drop.' We have a winner! :-) Works within a wiki page and, as you can see below, across pages. Have to be observant: there are places it will, or will not accept the drop. Too easy. I was expecting something with code. The source page needs to be in edit mode. You have to be careful not to just click and drag, as that cuts (not copies) the source image and changes the source page (if you cut, don't save).

Bronze prutah, Hendin 1143 (465), Meshorer TJC U, Meshorer AJC Ja - Jb, HGC 10 634, Jerusalem mint, 2g, 13.0mm, obverse Hebrew inscription, Yehudah the High Priest and the Council of the Jews, surrounded by wreath; reverse double cornucopia adorned with ribbons, pomegranate between horns, scarce.

The Paleo-Hebrew inscription reads, from right to left, as follows:
YHWD/H (Judah) KHN (priest) GD/WL (high) W (and) HBR (council) / H (the) YHWD (Jews)

Hear ye! I place below a jpg file. Or not.

Tried drag-and-drop to no effect.

Tried cut-and-paste, to no effect.

Control-click, drag-and-drop, to no effect.

Back to where I started out two years ago: I can never save a jpg file, no matter how modest in size, to the sandbox, or anywhere else in Numiswiki.

(big sigh)

CLICK THE BUTTON ABOVE THAT LOOKS LIKE A CAMERA.

So... is this site still functional?

Looks like it is! Too bad the wiki software is so outdated though. Reply: If it works, why does it need to be updated?
