Hi all,
I have a question around the best way to handle images refereed to by the HTML for the body of a page type node. To be more specific, I am not talking about general photographs, for which I would use the Image module to handle resizing and galleries, but graphic type images.
These images are generally used for diagrams or graphs in newspaper articles to break up all the text. A good example is the graph at the top of the article on this page - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7764741.stm
How should I add these kinds of images to Drupal? Should I even add them to Drupal (e.g. using Upload or Image, etc)?
Or should I just FTP the files to my web server, and then refer to them in the <img> tag directly? e.g. <img src="/some_directory/my_image.gif">
If FTP-ing the files, which is the best folder to store the file in? (Would storing these files in the 'images' folder cause confusion with the Image module, and some with the 'files' and Upload module?)
Is there a 'best practise' for this?
Many thanks
robin
