Community Week



Written by Astrikos for projecteducate 's community week. 

You may have noticed GIFS and hot things in people's journals and profiles. 

With HTML and CSS, you can add some hotness to your journals and profile.


Pretty neat, yes? 




Embedding Images and GIFsDeviantART Images

    Images on dA can easily be linked with thumbcodes. 

While on a deviation page, all you have to do is scroll down and look right until you see:


Copy and paste the thumb code. 

:thumb367944988:

:thumb367944988:


And if you want it bigger: 

:bigthumb367944988:


And bam. There you are.

If that's not good enough, you can play around with the size like this.. .

It's the thumbcode number without thumb in it... 

Trying it out... 


Gives us:



If you want to play with height of dA deviations (with HTML) , you will need to use the method explained below. 




All kinds of images, not just deviantART ones


With this method, you can link any image you want from the internet(including dA images) , however,  HTML is involved. 


And now.... 

Go find your adorable/sexy  GIF/Image on wherever. Tumblr is especially useful. So is google. Express yourself.


The code is... 



That's it! Easy. 

Right click, then select Copy Image URL to get the direct image URL. 

And then you're done!




Resizing: 

You can resize things the HTML way.


(Width: 310) (height: 430) 

(Code:


Default sizing


Or for deviantART images, sta.sh, all you need to do is drag and drop and resize that way. (in Journals) 

You can resize the HTML Way.. 

However, you need to have images that link to the deviation. 


Linking Images


Perhaps you want to create a graphic for your profile page that links to something else. 

First, find your image and upload it to st.ash or any other hosting program. Like flickr, tinypic, etc. 

I find sta.sh to be much quicker. 


I'll use project educate's header image:

 


I the image URL so  I right click on the image,
and select copy image URL

 fc01.dev iantart.net/fs70/o/2013/024/0/0/350289350_646745_322748439_464988_header2.png


Not : http:/communityrelations.deviantart.com/journal/Project-Educate-Continues-261205783  (this is from the address bar, not from right clicking and getting 'copy image URL'.) 


I take the image URL and paste it into this code format: 


<a href="whatyouwanttheimagetolinkto.com">g src="directimageURL.png/jpg/gif">a>
For your direct image URL, you can find by right clicking and selecting copy image URL. It will end in an image file extension. (.jpg,..png,.gif,etc.)

In our example, this gives us the code: 


<a href="projecteducate.deviantart.com"> <img src="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/o/2013/024/0/0/350289350_646745_322748439_464988_header2.png"><a>


In turn gives us:
 

Click it! It will redirect you to project educate! 



You can also apply the resizing methods shown above. 


Embedding Video

You can also embed snazzy youtube videos into your journals! 



Take a look at this code:


Note: The ID means this....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=CIx0P1KDkVk



An example would be 


And that gives us: 

 


Compatible video types: 

Youtube

Vimeo

Film 


Embedding a music player


CypherVisor


Good luck and happy embedding!

Did you enter HTML mode before writing that piece of code?
If not, then it won't work.

yeah I tried that, it didn't work see: s-m-batty.deviantart.com/journ…

Also I get you want me to enter the phrase but honestly I don't know how, you didn't exactly give me obvious direction.

Astrikos In reply to S-M-Batty [2015-01-21 03:15:40 +0000 UTC]

I don't think you put it in Html mode. You can enter it with the shortcut :control + e and then you enter it the code. Lol it's literally copy and paste, thought you didn't need instructions for that so I don't know why you're acting like im not that clear. Also provided a step by step way to send a screenshot a few replies back but alright, that's fine.

S-M-Batty In reply to Astrikos [2015-01-21 04:29:29 +0000 UTC]

I don't even know what an Html mode is! It was mentioned in passing in your journal! I dunno what that means or what to do with it or what it even LOOKS like.
I'm not "acting" like you're not clear, I'm not MESSING with you and trying to make you feel like your instructions aren't adequate. I'm genuinely struggling with this and you DID NOT send me "step by step" instructions. You said: Enter HTML mode before writing the code. To ME that meant write "HTML mode" before the code you provided on your journal! Which FAILED TREMENDOUSLY.
And if I copy and paste the URL I just get a LINK which is what I'm TRYING NOT TO GET.
And I did "control+e" and THAT failed HORRIBLY as well. So, either I'm a dumbass, the instructions are not clear or DA hates me.

Now that you've done that, type in this into the textbox:
data1.whicdn.com/images/684426… .jpg">.
Now hit done and see if it worked. 
You can also remove the "I followed it to a T" part in your journal because for a lot of people, it worked fine because they entered HTML mode. 
HTML mode won't change the appearance of the textbox, but you can double check by looking at the image I just sent you up above.

Hopefully this clears it up for you.

S-M-Batty In reply to Astrikos [2015-01-25 23:19:26 +0000 UTC]

Ok, I followed your instructions... I switched it to HTML mode using the diagram you provided...

I put data1.whicdn.com/images/684426… .jpg"> in the text box and here's what happened.

s-m-batty.deviantart.com/journ…

Now NOTHING is showing up... And even when I didn't use data1.whicdn.com/images/684426… .jpg"> it STILL didn't work. So either way this isn't working for me! So I guess even when I DO follow instructions to a "T" I will find a way to FAILLLLLLLLLL.

You can paste in the thumbcodes to descriptions and it works, or you can use the add media toolbar to add in deviations that way.

I don't think dA supports the iFrames in the group descriptions.. Some of the widgets that can be embedded are hit or miss.
Try googling another type of countdown widget and tell me if it works!

Does the direct image embedding not work for your profile description? Because I'm having difficulties with that.

It works for your profile. Copy and paste the code you tried and maybe I can help you?
