While I am familiar with web design, I am designing this blog for an admin, an older man, who is not very familiar with blogs.  I’d like to make it easy as possible for him to insert images within the “body” of his blog.

To do this, I would like the following to be the default for the image appearance:
float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; border: 2px solid black;

How do I save that as the “default” setting?

I am using EE 1.6.7

thanks!!

Hi, jupebox.

You’d edit the value of Image Properties for the file directory setting, and just add the image. See the attached images.

Does that help?

Hmm.  I thought that would work, but when I insert a picture, no default values are set.  I save the image properties in Admin, but it’s blank when I add an image.

These settings are easy for me to adjust, but it’d be nice if he did not have to adjust the properties each time.

For example, is there a way to automatically make the image 300 pixels width and automatically constrain the proportions?  That way, whatever he uploads, it will not mess up the design of the site.

Joel,

How many file upload destinations do you have? Are you a 100% that you are uploading the image into the one that you added the default properties to?

No he will need to resize on upload

I am using EE 1.6.7

There have been recommended security updates since that version. EE is now on version 1.7
