Accessing the Rotating Image Manager

To Access the Rotating Image Manager in i:Create, you need to:

  1. Select "More+" from the main menu in the backend of i:Create
  2. From the dropdown menu, select "Rotating Image Manager"

This will take you to the Rotating Image Manager. From here, you can add and update banner images on your website.

Adding or updating an image

In order to add an image, you need to select the main menu that you'd like the image to apply to from the "Select Group" dropdown menu. Each main menu on your website will be listed.

Once you've selected the menu, you can:

  1. Select the "choose file" button from the "Image Properties"
  2. Choose the image you'd like to upload from your files
  3. Select the "Save" button 

The image file name will appear in the Rotating Image Manager. If you add multiple images, then a new image will appear each time the page loads. 

View the i:Create style guide to find out the size specifications for rotating banner images. We recommend that you use a smaller image file (less than two megabytes). Larger images may make your website slower to load.

If you'd like text to appear over the rotating banner image, you can add text into the "Banner Text" field in the "Image Properties"

If you'd like to make the rotating image a clickable link, you can add a hyperlink to the image. To do this you need to complete the following fields in the "Image Properties":

  1. Add the link URL address to the "Link" field
  2. Select the "New Window" checkbox if you'd like the hyperlink to open in a new window
  3. Enter title text for the image link in the "Title" field

You don't need to add a hyperlink to a banner image. This is just an optional feature.

Previewing and publishing

If you would like to preview the image, select the "Preview" button from the top of the Rotating Image Manager. Then, you can navigate to the main menu in the page list and view the image. 

To publish the banner image, select the "Publish" button from the top of the Rotating Image Manager. This will save the new image and publish the changes to your live website. 

Deleting an image

To delete an image, you need to:

  1. Select the image you'd like to delete from the list in "Image Properties"
  2. Select the "Delete" button

This will remove the image from the module.
