Add or change Slideshow Images on a Bongo4U page
For an existing Slideshow block, these instructions show you how to
add additional images to your Slideshow, or how to replace or remove an
existing image from your Slideshow.
- Login to Bongo4U Admin Mode and go to the page that contains the Slideshow by clicking on that page's link in the navigation.
- Once you are on the correct page, find the "Block: Slideshow Plus" link on that page and click it (to go into edit mode).
- To Remove an Image from this Slideshow: Remove/clear its "Filename" field. When done making changes, click the [Save Changes] button.
- To Add an additional Image to this Slideshow: Click
the "Add More Images" link at the bottom of the list of image
filenames. This will display five more entries for additional images.
Populate the first open entry as described below. (Skip the next step, then continue with these instructions)
- To Replace an existing Image within this Slideshow:
Determine which of the existing filenames, in the list of existing
image filenames, you wish to replace. This is the entry that you will
update.
- You need to prepare each slideshow image by resizing and cropping
them all to be the same size. The "Display Size" parameter at the top of
the Slideshow block will show you the size that each image needs to be,
then resize each of your new or replacement images to be exactly this size before uploading them into the Slideshow block. (Do not change the Display Size.) Instructions: Photo Resizing & Cropping Help
- For each image that you want to upload into your slideshow (to add or replace), click the [Browse Images] button in the entry you will be populating or replacing/updating. In the pop-up window, click the "Upload"
tab and follow the simple instructions. By default, the slideshow form
contains fields for up to five images. If you need more images, just
click the "Add More Images" link, which will add
entries for five more images each time it is clicked, up to a maximum of
20 images in a slideshow. Repeat for each image you wish to add or
replace in this slideshow.
- When you are done uploading images, you may optionally adjust any of
the slideshow block's parameters at the top, or more likely, just leave
them as-is.
- If the Captions option is enabled at the top of
this slideshow, then you will be able to enter or update a Caption
phrase for each image that you added or replaced.
- If the Links option is enabled at the top of this
slideshow, then you will be able to enter a clickable Link URL for each
image that you added or replaced.
- When you are finished, press the [Save Changes] button. This saves (implements) your slideshow updates.
Note 1: If you receive an error after pressing [Save
Changes] then the error messages will tell you wish images are the
wrong size. Resize those images and re-upload them into the Slideshow
block before continuing. Do NOT bypass the inconsistent size error.
