What is Luv Lingo?

Luv Lingo is a community based website...


Content Layout (1)
Can I determine where the "teaser" ends, and the viewer needs to click on "read more" to view the rest of my post?

This is accomplished with a "break". Place your cursor at the point in your post where you want the "teaser" to end and click on "break" in the editing/formatting tools. You'll see two "breaks" - you'll want to use the one on the left.

Posting Flickr photos to your Drupal site

Images which have been added to your gallery may then be used in your content posts by pressing the "G2" button, which is in the socond row of buttons in the editor.

  1.  Click on "G2", select an image from YOUR gallery.
  2. In the "How to insert image" selection, choose either thumbnail, or full size (no link).
  3. Choose alignment class
  4. Click the small checkbox in the corner of your desired image
  5. Click on "Insert"

Your image should now be in your post. There may be "handles" on the image, which allow for scaling.

How do I place video into my content?

If you wish to place video content on Luv Lingo, it will need to exist at another server first - I recommend YouTube, but Google Videos and GodTube videos will also work.
 
Once you have a video on one of those servers, just get the url - for example, this is the url for an existing YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbZJ6kPoV7E
 
Now place that url within the following bracketed code:
 
[video:YOUR_VIDEO_URL width:360 height:240]
 
So, the YouTube example above would look like this:
 
[video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbZJ6kPoV7E width:480 height:360]
 
Important note: Do not add any styling to the code - such as bold, etc.
ALSO - If you paste the code in place, use the "paste as plain text" tool. Its the clipboard with the "T" on it.
 
Ideal Dimensions:
YouTube: width:360 height:240
Google: width:300 height:240
GodTube: width:280 height:260
