General Tab, PAGE BANNER free text..........I want to add a photo BUT

I want to use this string to add a banner that I use on my site, into the stop section of the gallery where this free TXT would be, instead or in addition to the txt, but using a URL instead of a photo ID. 

When I enter the URL it says PHOTO ID instead and theres no banner image displayed.

I am putting a URL with http:// of the image jpg here instead of the xx.

Am I Doing this right, and do I need to edit the CFG files? I searched and didnt see this string.

Thanks again guys.

Re: General Tab, PAGE BANNER free text..........I want to add a photo BUT

You are mixing different things

[photo] : a special tag handled by Extended Description
as explicitly stated in the plugin help, "xx" is a photo ID (not url) from your own gallery

[img] : an old tag of Extended Description

<img> : an HTML tag to display image
that's what you want

on the link flop25 gave you it's clearly < and > not [ and ], it's not the same thing
so read it again, the example is self-explaining

Actually its not as obvious as you might think.  This is not second nature to me.

I got it now.

<img src=http://www.domain.com/banner.jpg>

This is what I needed.

A couple seconds of typing an example would go a long way on this forum to those that are not HTML programmers, vs posting a link to another website.


Thanks again.
