WebEd User Guide - Rotating Image

Rotating Image

Rotating images are an alternative way of representing images with links like banners. Images fade in and out one by one through the List of Home Page Images in a loop. The images can be hyper-linked to send users to another page.

To access Rotating Images, go to your website and login as an Admin
Click on Launch the Admin module
Go to 'Rotating Image' under Content tab
To Edit an existing record for a Image click on the ID of the Image.

Group Name: The group this image belongs to.

Image Title: Title to display when user takes mouse over the image, also helps with rankings on your site.

Sequence: Order of displaying the image within the group it belongs to.

URL: When clicked the link that images will link to, if no URL is entered, the image will still display but won't link anywhere.

Image Path: Location of the image on the server.

Click on Create New to add a new banner Image. Click the image selector (folder icon) and internal link selector (internal link icon) to help with inputting the image and link data.

Note: The maximum size of any image the images that can be uploaded through WebEd is 200KB.

To display rotating images in page content

Rotating images can be split to be display different images on different pages of your site. This can be done by adding a sequence of images to a group - AboutUs for example, and then using curly bracket tags on the about us pages to display these images:

{ RotatingImages_900_200_8_AboutUs }

These variables are explained below:

{ RotatingImages_Width_Height_Speed_GroupName }

Width : Width of group of images in pixels
Height : Height of group of images in pixels
Speed : Number from 1-10 where 1 is fast and 10 is slow
Group Name : Which group of images to display

e.g. String "RotatingImages_513_282_4_Group1" wrapped around curly brackets will display group "Group1"

<%
Response.Write oPage.show_RotatingImages("982", "306", "4", "HomePage")
%>

To sequence display navigation

Navigation (at top right corner) is displayed only if following images are found on the server, otherwise it is not displayed
