« A Note About Images

You can publish images in many ways: embedded in the text flow, displayed as slideshows, in galleries, or in lightboxes. 

To embed an image, upload it directly into the text flow by clicking the Up Arrow in the Editor Toolbar (if you do this on a smartphone, it will grab a picture right off the camera and insert it into the text automatically).

Use the Image dialog in the toolbar to resize your image, or to make it clickable. The text alignment tools in the Editor Toolbar aligns it with the flow of your content - just like in any Office program.

Previously uploaded images appears as thumbnails in the File Manager if you click the Edit button there, and clicking a thumbnail inserts the image in the text flow at the caret position.

For the Site Owner, the thumbnails list will also display all images in the Website Library. The advantage of picking images from the library instead of directly off the page, is that URLs will be static - an image URL will not change if you change the URL of the page. This makes rearranging the website easier later, as you won´t have to update image URLs if you ever move a page somewhere else.

How to make a slideshow
Name the images with the prefix slide_ [slide_mypicture.jpg], and upload them as attachments instead of injecting them into the text. They will generate a slideshow automatically. The order of the slides will be the order you uploaded them in, with the newest one first.

How to make a Lightbox
Upload the images into the text area, then add links to each image, pointing to the image itself. The URL will always be pagename/imagename. When a visitor clicks any image that is linked up this way, a lightbox pops up with navigation buttons. The lightbox will display all images that are grouped together (if you have five images with text between image two and three, you get two light boxes - one with image 1 and 2 in it, and one with images 3, 4 and 5 in it). Note that you cannot test the lightbox while signed into the page it is on as Owner  (this would make it impossible to edit it).

How to make a Gallery
Create a Gallery Layout from the File Manager Picker, and upload your images directly into it. A Gallery Layout will format the image for you, will display Exif data and Sharing buttons, and, since the images are not embedded in a document, they will be sortable.
