Image Browser Tip
When you click on the Media icon to open the image selection window, and then you select View Library, if you search for a filename, don’t hit the Enter/Return key. There’s a bug that will load the site homepage into that image browser window. If that happens, just click the Back button on your browser (or right-click on your mouse and choose ‘Back’) and start over. To search for a filename, just type the keyword (don't hit Enter) and Drupal will start searching for images with that keyword.
Image Sizing Guide
When adding an image to your page, you may wonder which one of the many sizes options is the right one. The Drupal editor offers a pull-down menu with a number of different sizes. Currently there are some default options that should NOT be used.
Do NOT Use
- Default
- Preview
- Large
- Small
Size to Use
- Original - This size should ONLY be used when your page has neither a left menu nor right-side modules.
- Inside Large - this size can be used for galleries, or as a stand-alone image on your page with both a left menu and right-side modules.
- Inside Medium
- Inside Small - this size should be used for stories you are linking to, such as on a landing page or the spotlight news.
