Images

This section provides settings which control various aspects of how user-supplied media is handled.

This includes where it is saved, maximum dimensions when re-sizing, etc. If a custom media asset provider is installed, it will be configured from this section.

Context - This is the context where the setting applies. By default, the following contexts are included:

  • UploadListingImage - applies to images uploaded by end users when creating or editing a listing.
  • UploadYouTubeVideoID - applies to a YouTube video specified by end users when creating or editing a listing.
  • UploadSiteLogo - applies to the image uploaded by an admin user to be displayed in the website header
  • UploadBannerImage - applies to images uploaded by an admin user when creating banner ads
  • UploadBannerHtml - applies to HTML entered by an admin user when creating banner ads

Name/Value - Each setting has a name and value.

  • Generator - indicates which provider will be used to process the media when it is submitted
  • Saver - indicates which provider will be used to store the media
  • Loader - indicates which provider will be used to display the media
  • RootFolder - the physical path on the web server where the media will be stored
  • RootURL - the relative or absolute web location from which the media will be referenced

Note: The Quality variables are a percentage, and “Height/Width” variables are in pixels

Image Display Locations

ThumbCenterCrop & ThumbFitWithin - These two image types are used throughout the software to display the smallest version of the listing images. Including, but not limited to the following pages: Homepage, Browse and Search results, My Account listing data, and the individual listing detail pages.

FullSize - The Full sized images appear on the listing detail pages. Clicking on the FullSize image opens the LargeSize image version.

LargeSize - This is the largest image available to viewers. It is displayed when selecting/clicking the Full sized image from the listing detail page. This image is displayed within a lightbox, dimming the rest of the listing details. This image will automatically resize to conform to the viewing area of the device loading the image.

Example: The image will be largest when viewing on your PC where there is significant screen real estate compared to the screen of a smaller mobile phone.
