How to put picture into Byline?
 
Using ATA 3.6.4 WP 3.1
I want to include my picture in the Byline. A forum search didn't show anything. I believe I've followed the ATA instruction set correctly but the image does not show.

Image is in: /Atahualpa/images/icons/ as stipulated in ATA Edit Post/Page Info Items. My image shows up in the Icons section so I know it's there.

Many icons can show in the Byline. Although it's pretty small, 30 x 46px, I have not reduced the picture down to the size of an icon. Is that necessary or will the Byline area adjust to the size of the image? I tried to increase the margin in Style Post/Pages/Byline Box [margin: 5px 0 100px 0;] but the image still didn't appear.

Additionally, the <strong> is not making the author name or date bold.

The code: <strong>%author%</strong> <strong>%date('F jS, Y')%</strong> <image(mitch_head_shots_byline.gif)>

Thanks very much.

is the image actually a gif, because if it is a jpg then you need to say
HTML Code:

<image(mitch_head_shots_byline.jpg)>

Thanks for the reply.
The image is a .gif.

you have done something odd since all this works for me. Go to ATO->Export/Import Settings and export your settings and attach them to a reply (use the paper clip icon) and I'll take a look

Thank you for your efforts.

For your convenience, I put the settings into a doc file for easier reading. I hope I got the settings correct.

I have a similar issue to the byline, of something other than code being wrong, with putting a clickable image into a text widget that I want to open a new file in a new tab. It seems the code is good but it is not working.

clickable text widget:
<a href="http://coachmitch.com/about/about-each-deal/100-house/" target="_blank"><img src="http://coachmitch.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/images/3010_Albany_St.jpg"></a>

http://coachmitch.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/images/3010_Albany_St.jpg is not point to any file.
delete the public_html in the URL

1) your image is not found. If I key in the entire path to the image in the browser address I should see it, but when I use
HTML Code:

http://coachmitch.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/Mitch_head_shots_byline.gif
I get a 'not found' which means
- the image is not there 0r
- the name is spelled wrong or
- there is a permission error with the file

2) you only have your Byline settings set for 'BYLINE: Multi Post Pages', If you want it to show on the blog page, set it also in 'BYLINE: Multi Post Pages'

@kingmob
TY, your suggestion worked.

@juggledad
I don't know why the picture is not found in Google. I don't find it either. http://coachmitch.com/wp-content/the...ots_byline.gif

However, the file is on the server; I see it in Filezilla. The image appears in ATA Post/Page's Edit Info under Icons. If I delete the file from the server, the image also disappears from ATA Post/Page's Edit Info Icons. <image(Mitch_head_shots_byline.gif) align=right/> This code meets the example in ATA. I'm baffaled.
RE: Permission Error - This image is a copy of a file I use all the time; it's just smaller. I did convert it from jpg to gif. Could some issue in the conversion be preventing the gif from being recognized?
Can I use a png or jpg in the ATA Post/Page's Edit Info Icons area? ATA uses gif's for all the themes icons.

?? Who said anything about using google?? I said to put it in your browsers address bar.

Just because you can see in in the backend does not mean someone viewing the site will be able to see it. The back end has a very high level of permissions that the outside viewer does not have.

You may want to read Changing File Permissions

You can not use 'align=right' in the <image...> statement, so change
HTML Code:

<strong>%author%</strong> <strong>%date('F jS, Y')%</strong> <image(Mitch_head_shots_byline.gif) align=right/>
to
HTML Code:

<strong>%author%</strong> <strong>%date('F jS, Y')%</strong> <image(Mitch_head_shots_byline.gif) />
