Image selection

November 21st, 2007

Templates may have image placeholders for users to upload their own images. It is also possible to provide a collection of images for users to choose from instead of uploading their own.

Prepare a template

The template needs to be prepared as usual with an image placeholder named in the object browser as a field. Upload the template.

Prepare the images

The images can be saved from CorelDRAW or prepared using any other image editing application. It is recommended that the images have identical size, unless otherwise is required by the design.

Upload the images

Go to My Images under Maintenance and upload the images one by one.

Link the images and the template

Go to the template page and click on Images in the template menu. Choose the image field and assign uploaded images to it.
Users will be forced to choose one of your images or none. They will not be able to upload their own image.

Image security

Users cannot get access to the original size image. They can see a small thumbnail preview in the filmstrip or a slightly larger preview in a separate window.
