Add an image element to an item

We add an image element to a site area or content item when we want the image to be used for a specific site area or content item.

We can only add an element to a content item if the manage elements button has been enabled in the authoring template used by the content item.

1. Open or create a site area or content item.

2. Click Manage Elements.

3. Select Image as the element type.

4. Enter a name. Do not use double-byte and non-ASCII characters.

5. Enter a display title to use as the title of the element displayed indexes and forms.

6. If we have created a text provider plug-in for a multi-locale site, we can also select the text provider and enter a key to look up a string from the selected text provider. The text provider displays a different display title for each language it has been configured for. The text entered in the Display Title field is only used if an appropriate display title is not available from the selected text provider, or if the text provider is not available.

7. Click Add. The image element is added to the form.

8. Go to the image element created:

   1. Click Upload a file to select a file to store in the image component.

   2. Define the image properties:

      Border

      Define the size of the border to appear around the image. (0 = no border)

      Width

      Set the width of the image (in pixels). Optional.

      Height

      Set the height of the image (in pixels). Optional.

      Alternate text

      Enter the name of the image to display when saving the image, or if the browser cannot display the image.

      HTML Tag Name

      Enter the name of the HTML tag to be used in JavaScript.

9. Save the item form.
