Version 5.3.3

When setting up a banner, "text" works fine. When switching to use of an image for a banner,the image uploads directly to some location other than the file directory I have chosen and am using for images. I cannot tell where it is going. It is not going to the chosen file directory for images.

When putting in and the banner has an image for content, just the word "Banner" appears on the page. Apparently it cannot find the image, or load it.

Also, it is odd that it forms a link, because no linking has been given. According to the documentation, when the link field is empty, no linking will occur.

Solution

In 5.3.3 there is a known bug in using the database for images. I have switched to using a created file directory in which to store images - this works well.

I think the banner creator program is trying to use the database for storing the image used in the banner. This does not work.

so, we need to fix the problem in storing images in the database, or better yet, provide a way to choose a location for images to be seen in the banner.

It would be nice to have a rotating group of images show up on wiki pages, etc.

I WONDER: was this fixed in 6.0?
