Image element

You store an image in an image element.

When you store an image in an image element:

• We can reference the image anywhere in the site regardless of the original file location or URL.

• The image is automatically transferred to other servers during syndication.

• We can reference the image element within other items as required.

Creating an image element

To create an image element, we can either add an image element to an authoring template, site area or content item, or create an image component.

Images with names that include non-ascii characters cannot be pre-rendered. If we are pre-rendering a site, rename the image before adding it to the image element.

Valid mime types

We can configure which mime types are valid for an image element by editing the imageresourcecmpnt.allowedmimetypes setting. See Web content authoring options for further information.
