One more followup, for Profile Image, what code is used to select a random image from the same folder? #2 gave me broken links, #4 was rejected. #3 can't be used because it wants to chose an actual file.
When the image is encoded, does the name change? I am not sure if I should workout a way to automatically rename files for each keyword market, or just make them 001 002 003.
@Sven, Can you give me an example platform that will post images. I tried all articles and looked through a lot of verifieds and can't find any images. I want to make sure my settings are right, but need to know which engine to test. I thought XpressEngine posted images, but can't see any after building 150 pages.
When I post a randomly selected image (not using my URLs, but your random web selection) it works.
When I check Use Own URLs, the image shows broken online. I PM'ed you examples of working (random from online), and non-working (random from my folder).
ok next version will fix it ... I think you image might have a spin syntax in it that is removed. Thats of course not something you want. Till next version just add the file names to the box. that should work.
@Sven, I found an image on one post! Getting better! I'm still seeing a lot of encoded/broken images and a lot of places it looks like it's trying to put an image, but it's not happening.
That extra space between the paragraphs is where the image is supposed to show I believe. Most of those are in XpressEngine and a couple of others.

%random_image-C:\Users\Administrator\Dropbox\SEO\Images%
I tried that and got some images, but they were all hosted at picsearch not the domain.
The macro %random_image% uses the providers configured in content_search.dat.
If it's a fixed place you want to have the images in, then you need to use...
<img src="%spinfolder_data_url-C:\Users\Administrator\Dropbox\SEO\Images%" />
If it should be a random place, you can put the folder/images in "Own URLs" box when enabling the option in article manager to insert random images.
I want to pull a random image from a folder. I have tried the following and none would work.
I put only 1 image in the Images folder so I would know when it was posted, but I can't seem to get it to publish that particular image.
When the image was to be inserted, nothing was inserted and the content below it wasn't posted. I can send you the backup if you want to take a look.
The name does not matter if the image is encoded and in html.
ou just use the "Own URLs" checkbox and put the macro there or the file names.
