Adding pictures to a page in your site

April 8, 2008 No Comments

There are 2 ways to add pictures to your Waypoint website:

  1. Add a Gallery Viewer component to your page
    • Displays all the pictures from a gallery on the page
    • Allows you to choose how many pictures to show per page. If more than one page is needed, Next, Previous and numeric links appear to allow you navigate the pages.
    • Clicking on a thumbnail will show you the large image.
  2. Add a picture inside a Rich Text Editor
    • Allows you to place individual pictures amongst text on your web page
    • You can choose to show the thumbnail or the large version
    • If you show the thumbnail, you can choose to link it to the large version.

Here's how to perform each of these:

 To add a Gallery Viewer:

  • Log into your website
  • Click Edit Page on the admin menu
  • The Edit Panel on the right has a list of available components that you can add to your page by clicking on them. Click on the Gallery Viewer to add one.
  • The right panel will then display the viewing options. Select a gallery from the dropdown and change any other settings you like.
  • Click Save at the bottom right.
  • Click View Page on the admin menu to return to your page's view mode.

To add pictures in a Rich Text Editor

  • Log into your website
  • Click Edit Page on the admin menu
  • If you have an existing Rich Text Editor box on your page, click on it's Edit icon () to edit it.
  • Otherwise, The Edit Panel on the right has a list of available components that you can add to your page by clicking on them. Click on the Rich Text Editor to add one.
  • You will now be in Edit Mode of your text editor. Click on the Image gallery icon. ()
  • In the dialog that appears, Click on the name of the gallery you want to get a picture from.
  • Above each thumbnail that appears are 3 links. You can add a thumbnail or a large picture depending on which link you click. The linked thumbnail is a small picture that links to the large one.
  • To align your picture once you add it, right click on it and select Image Properties
  • You may wish to change the image alignment option. Change it to right or left justification to make text wrap around it.
  • Click Update on the text editor box to save your changes.
