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.
