Images

If you want to edit, add or remove images from the CMS outside of the individual pages you can do so from the Images interface. This is accessed from the left-hand menu.

  • Clicking an image will allow you to edit the data associated with it. This includes the Alt text, the photographers credit, the medium of the subject matter and much more.

Warning

Changing the alt text here will alter it for all occurrences of the image in carousels, but not in inline images, where the alt text can be set separately.

Changing the image

  • When editing an image you can replace the file associated with that image record. This means you can update images without having to update the pages on which they are placed.

Warning

Changing the file will change it on all pages that use the image.

Focal point

  • This interface allows you to select a focal point which can effect how your image displays to visitors on the front-end.
  • If your images are cropped in some way to make them fit to a specific shape, then the focal point will define the centre point from which the image is cropped.
  • To set the focal point, simply drag a marquee around the most important element of the image.
  • If the feature is set up in your website, then on the front-end you will see the crop of this image focusing on your selection.
