How to add an Image or Image with call to action
Select Image or Image with call to action from the Component type drop down list and click the Add new Component or Add another Component button.
Press the Choose File button to select the required Image, then press the Upload button and provide the Alternate text.
Provide a Title and Text if the Image should have them in its caption.
Provide the Attribution, if any, and indicate whether the Caption is a quotation by checking the checkbox or leaving it unchecked.
Provide a Link Title and URL as a link destination for the caption of the Image. This is required for Image with call to action components but optional for Image components.
- Choose a Position for the caption.
Things worth mentioning
The uploaded Image will be cropped to a 12:5 aspect ratio so be diligent in using the crosshair to designate the focal point of the Image.
The Position of the Image component's caption is confined to the 1280 pixels in the horizontal center of the page in an effort to align the caption box with content in the WMU header and the other components on the page that are confined to the same horizontal 1280 pixels.
The Position of the Image component's caption is also only applied on larger devices and screen sizes. On medium-sized and smaller devices or at less than 1024 pixels wide, the caption will expand to full width and be pushed below the Image.
The differences between Image and Image with call to action components:
The Link Title and URL are required for Image with call to action but not for Image.
The Link is displayed as a button for Image with call to action as opposed to a link.
The Secondary link is only available for Image with call to action.
The Image with call to action component cannot be added to Slideshows.
