Images
Images are introduced into an organizer using image_search IMAGES on the Main Toolbar.
When an image is added to an organizer it is not linked to anything. The image can then be given link. I.e. when clicked the user will be directed somewhere. Additionally, the image can be given a name along with some summary information.
Images have more flexibility when it comes to presentation and size. For this reason it is also possible to either generate an image element based on a media element. The media element continues to exist.
Another option is to convert the media element into an image element.
The only images that are allowed on MY HERO are images that belong to the person who uploaded the image, or the image lies in the public domain and is available for use by anyone. There is a separate write-up about this. Images require to be credited. This means the source (origin) of the image must be provided.
Once introduced on the organizer page, an image can come in 5 sizes, based on image width. (small - 25%, medium - 33%, big - 50%, large - 75% and extra-large - 100%).
Images are fit into the space allocated and maintain their aspect ratio ( i.e. they do not become distorted). Within the space allocated to the image, padding can be used to make the image smaller again and it position it how you would like it on the page.
Images can be introduced into an organizer in a number of ways.
1. Upload the image from your own computer or storage device (Own Image)
2. Use an image url (location of an image on the internet) to upload the image (URL)
3. Search for an image that you previously uploaded to MY HERO from our image library (Uploaded by Me)
Images when uploaded must be of high-quality. The image size should remain below 1Mb. In most cases 400-600Kb is fine. Image quality on the internet is very different from the quality needed to print an image and have it look really good.
A new image can be uploaded and stored in the MY HERO image library. A url for an image, that is used somewhere on the internet can be used. Using this url, the image is loaded into the MY HERO image library, if it does not already exist there. Finally, previously uploaded images that exist in the MY HERO image library can be searched for and then added to the organizer. The search for previously uploaded images is limited to images that the MY HERO user has uploaded. For MY HERO admins, the whole image library is available
Arranging Page Content
To see the contents of your organizer presented as a list select reorder ARRANGE CONTENT on the Main Toolbar.
Changing the order of elements on the page is much easier, especially when you have a lot of content. It is also much easier to select items, using the checkbox located toward the end of each line.
A number of symbols are used to identify what kind of content it is and this is what they mean:
movie : Film content, description : Story content , audiotrack : Audio Content, list : Organizer Content, notifications : Newswire, library_books : Book, title : Horizontal Divider, comment : Text, photo : Image, link : External or Internal Link, slideshow : Slider
If an element is followed by a page break, this can be seen at the end of the line by a green box showing keyboard_return. Clicking on this can either set or remove a line-break.
Many functions can be performed while in this screen, using the menu bar at the top of the screen.
This is done by selecting the item(s) to be deleted by checking the checkbox at the end of the item line.
Once all of the item(s) to be deleted have been checked, press the Delete icon delete on the top menu bar.
The last deletion can be undone by pressing the Undo Icon restore located to the right of the delete icon.
A slider is an element that contains images having the same format (dimensions), with each image usually having a link that is gone to when the image is clicked. Image based content can be added to a slider. This is done by selecting the image content using the checkbox. Once the images you want to load have been selected you must ALSO select the slider you want to load by checking it. Then click the carousel icon view_carousel on the top menu bar. You will be prompted with a message, asking if you are sure you want to do this. Press Yes to add. Note: if an item you selected is not valid for a slider it will be ignored.
A selection can be undone by checking the checked checkbox. For multiple items that have been checked it is easier to use the undo selection icon undo on the top menu bar.
This can be done using dragging and dropping. On touch screen devices this is not workable and so this method should be used instead. You will have to make sure that the Item Toolbar is visible. If not, click the tools icon settings on the top-right of the top menu bar.
Select the item(s) you want to move by using the checkbox and checking them. Once this has been done you have to specify where the items have to be moved. You do this by clicking the settings icon
