Image List


Image List
The Image List is a set of 26 images (A-Z) available for use anywhere in your site.
Page Images (1-9) are similar, but each page has its own set of page images.
The Image List button is always available at the top of the editor.
The Page Images button is available whenever you are editing a page.

To set the value for an image slot click the slot (A-Z or 1-9) to go to the Image Browser.
From there you can select an image from our catalog,
or if you have uploaded your own images you can select one of them.
Uploaded images are stored under categories Images/Storage and Images/Uploads.

Placing an Image onto a Page

1) Freeform Page Editor

When editing a Freeform page you can use the Insert/Image menu option to jump to one of the image lists.
There you will see an Insert button next to each image which can be clicked to place that image on your page.
Note that a slot must have an image assigned to it in order for the Insert button to appear.

2) Page Fields, Site Fields, and Maxlet HTML Properties

An image can be inserted directly into your text using a special code.
The code is the ^ character followed by the letter (A-Z) or number (1-9)
corresponding to the desired image. For instance, the sequence ^A
would be replaced by the image associated with Image A.
Note, there can be no spaces between the ^ and the A.

3) Field/HTML Sample:

Suppose you used the Image Browser to associate the image
Graphics/Icons/Email/Mail1 with Image A.

If your text contained the following:

We welcome everyone on earth ^A.

Your page would render like this:

We welcome everyone on earth
.
