I learned how to do the BB code & now have a pic of my plants on my list. Someone else had ask a few days ago about this also but I can't seem to be able to find the post.

Linda, did you find the "Plant BB code" here in the Plant Database, or somewhere else?




ATP BB Code:
[ plant ]142832[ /plant ] (four spaces added for visibility)

ATP BB Code:
Transylvanian Sage (Salvia transsylvanica 'Blue Spires')

Rick, I'm not very good at trying to explain how to do things like this.

I clicked on my pic in database for each plant & copied the code. You must copy all of the last line not just the words in the brackets [ ] [ ]. Copy, then go to your list and click edit ( which one you want to add your pic to in your list) a page will come up called Editing a plant with all the stats, PASTE the APT BB code in comments section. Your pic should be there in comment section, if I explained this right. Let me know if this worked .

I previewed this note before sending and it doesn't show the last line with the ATP BB code-just my pic.

Thanks, I see what you mean. What I described would only display the link.
Your way displays a photo.

What has to be pasted comes from a PHOTO, not from the plant-page in the database.

Like this:

[ db_photo]1959xx[ /db_photo]

You mean you understood my explanation?

@chickhill,
I have been 'lurking' hoping to learn. And guess what? I understood your instructions and can now add my own photos.

I've made so many blunders on here, I'm glad I you understood what I wrote.

Linda:

Yup, no problem.

If making sense to me means that I'm mentally twisted, so be it.
