This 3rd part will cover image and video postings. The first
thing to know is that all images from your computer MUST be transferred
on an image hosting website such as imageshack or imgur. Not all image
hosting sites are free to use btw.
If you want to copy and paste an image from a site, since that
image is already on the net, there is no need to transfer it to an image
hosting site ...just do a copy/paste and it will work. Once here on the
WGT platform, and after having clicked on paste, your image will appear
but it may not be at the right size so your first step is to resize it.
Picture P
#21 = when you left click on your image, you will see those little squares which means your image is ready to be resized.
#22 = click on this icon in the toolbar called ''edit image''.
Picture Q
#23 = this blue window appears for you to make the modifications.
#24 = first, change the ''dimensions'' to 480 maximum to make it
fit inside the WGT frame ...but it can be a smaller number too. Next,
you can add a black border to your image by writing 1 in that box called
''border''. If you write 3, the line will be a bit darker like in the
image here. Once you selected your numbers, just click on ''update''.
Please note that if you paste an image on WGT and later, you
delete that image from the image hosting site, the image will also be
deleted here !
A quick note concerning scorecards : there are a few ways of doing it and here is what i do. First, i make a screenshot of the card by pressing ''print screen'' on my keyboard. Then, i open the program ''paint'' and click on ''paste''. I crop the part i want to keep, right click on that part + select ''copy''. I close without saving and re-open paint + click on paste again to get the part i kept. I close and save. Next, i upload it to the image hosting site, select the image from there, right click + select ''copy'', come here and paste it.
Videos :
Concerning videos, it's very simple. Using youtube as an example,
once you found the song (or any other video), you either highlight the
URL, right click on it and select ''copy'' or do the following below.
Picture R
#25 = right click on the video and click on ''copy video URL''.
Once you come back here, you click on this icon ---> located on the toolbar and a small window will open :
Picture S
#26 = first, remove this ''http://'' as the URL you copy/paste
already has it. Since it's already highlighted (blue), simply press
''delete''. Once you have pasted the link into the box, make sure that
the first part of the link is http:// and not https:// . If it does show
https:// , then simply remove the ''s''. Next, change the 550 to 450 and click on ''insert''. Click ''post'' and you're done.
This added part #4 is about replays + creating clickable links.
From your profile page, click ''view'' on the replay that you
want to share. A new window will open for the replay to be viewed but i
do believe that you can't have more than 1 lobby page open at the same
time. Highlight the URL address, right click and select ''copy''. Go to the forum where you want to share it. Type something like : my last eagle (example for me), highlight the word (or words) and click on that chain above.
once you click on that chain, you will see this small blue window :
Paste the URL you copied (#1), click on that arrow (#2) and select ''open link in a new window'' (#3) and click insert (#4). The word (or words ) you highlighted now become a link to your replay. The only reason i use a word instead of the long line of numbers, letters and symbols is to make it look nicer :)
And now to the final point of this added part #4 : creating clickable links like
this one right here ---> my blogs
This works just as the previous topic (replays). As in this example above (my blogs), first, i need to have that page open. Then, i highlight + copy the URL address. After that, i go where i want to share it and do the very same thing as the image above. Now, if i would want to share a specific post with someone or somewhere AND i don't have access to that direct link via my profile or someone else's profile, here is what to do :
#1- find the post you want to share..... #2- click on ''send to friend'' at the bottom right of the post..... #3- a small window will open and it will say 'View this post at'' followed by the URL address..... #4- highlight the URL, right click on it + select ''copy''..... #5- go where you want to share it..... #6- in the dialogue box, write a word like Joke (example).....#7- do as explained above concerning replays --> highlight the word, click on the chain, copy the URL address, select to open in a new window (or same if you wish) and click on ''insert''. The highlighted word is now a direct link to that specific post.
Voilà !! I hope this tutorial was helpful :) if all that i have done can and/or will help some people, then i can say ''mission accomplished''.
edit : Further down on this thread, there are also some posts on how to use colored letters and fancier fronts.
