How to add html images

What is the suggested way in ojs 2 to create a html document that has tables and images. We are thinking about creating a folder on the server put all our images there for each publication then create html documents for each publication. Is there an easier way?

Hi @FlaminSeraphim,

Do you mean HTML articles, or static pages with images, or something else? Also, what specific version of OJS are you working with? (Please include OJS version information in your posts.)

2.4.8 is the ojs version. html articles is correct.

Hi @FlaminSeraphim,

If you upload an HTML document as an article galley, it should be detected as HTML. Then you should be able to upload images, CSS, etc. on the submission’s editing page to associate that data with the HTML galley. Most users will produce HTML from a word processor – it’s the easiest way for most users to produce it, though it is admittedly usually low-quality mark-up.

So what is your suggestion when someone makes an html document with word and has pictures? Word renames the images completely and when you up load the images with the word html document they don’t work together. I have the ability to create the custom html that we need without word, but we are trying to find a workflow that might cut me out of doing that.

Hi @FlaminSeraphim,

If you upload image files to the HTML galley, and the HTML galley refers to those files by name, then OJS should rewrite the image URLs to something that works on your OJS installation. What do the references to images in the Word-generated HTML look like?
