Inserting a single image.

As outlined in our linking to a PDF guide, we will use scoutsonline.co.uk/MyFiles/Global/00073/ for all file manager references.

One thing to bear in mind is that images must be uploaded to a web server to be visible to other users. This varies from Microsoft Word, where it is as simple as copy pasta.

Upload image to the file manager

Step 1: go to Admin > File Manger. Then select the folder to store the image, and upload with the choose file option. For this demo we have some Pinsent Photos.

Step 2: copy the full path of the image to your clipboard.

Step 3: edit the HTML control of the text where you want to insert the image & click on the image icon from the top icon.

Step 4: A dialog box opens with options which you can set for the image. Paste the URL from the file manager into the URL box. If you know HTML, then you can edit the source of the HTML control, for greater flexibility. Then click OK and save.

Done!

Creating a slide show of images.

Step 1: Add/ edit your image banner.

Step 2: Insert your image using the ~ relative path syntax. so https://winscouts.org/MyFiles/Global00073/Pinset/General Pinsent Photos/WP_20201022_14_45_53_Pro.jpg becomes ~/MyFiles/Global00073/Pinset/General Pinsent Photos/WP_20201022_14_45_53_Pro.jpg

Hyperlinks are optional.

Step 3: Save.

Done!
