Admin: images

Starting with Arena 4.0, you are recommended to start using Liferay articles instead of Arena articles. Arena articles will still be supported but will not be further developed.

This portlet is used to upload images to be included in Arena articles, and to insert the images into specific articles. You need to have image handling permissions to upload images. The portlet is automatically accessed from the Articles: create article portlet and should not be added manually.

End user interface

The interface shows a field for the address of the image. You may also specify properties.

The interface shows all images that are available to you. Click one of these to select it for insertion. You must then add metadata to the image, such as title and description. You may also resize the image and adjust it to a specific position. Advanced features are also available, such as alternative image to show when hovering over the image.

If the image required is not in the image library, it may be uploaded by using the interface.
