The Information Centre can display images and multimedia but how do you do it cleanly and correctly?
This article discusses a number of different media types and options.
= Images =
A web page is not like a Word document. Embedding pictures is not as easy. A bit of work has to be done first.
There are a few options.
== Option 1 - Unsecure images ==
If you have a general image you want to include get the URL of the image. This can be done from Google Images or many other sources.
Go to https://www.google.ie type in your keywords
Click on Images
Click the image you want
Click "View Image"
Copy the URL of the image from the address bar
Alternately you can use a feature of Firefox of Chrome called "Copy Image Location"
{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrYVGi1bRfw}}
With the URL you can now put this into your Information Centre message.
Lets take an example URL. The bxp logo from the main http://www.bxpsoftware.com website. The URL is http://www.bxpsoftware.com/wp-content/themes/bxp/images/headerLogo.png
Open your Information Centre message.
Main Menu > Information Centre > General > Add Item to the Information Centre >
Go to the body and locate the [[File:Infocentreimages_001.png]] icon.
In source put in the URL and put in a description as well
[[File:Infocentreimages_002.png]]
When done click ok
