Adding/Editing Staff Directory Photos on the Website
Uploading images
In order to add a profile picture to a Constituent's record, you must first upload the image file to your site using File Manager. See Uploading files or images to File Manager for more details.
Image size
Before attaching a thumbnail to a user account, make sure that the photo is correctly sized. Most of our current Picture are 320x400 but you could go as small as 200x300 without losing image quality. File size should be kept less than 200kb. Because thumbnail images appear next to the user's name on any Directory Pages where they appear, it's important that the photos are small enough that they will fit on the Directory Page without exceeding the width of the page's content area so try not to exceed the above recommendations. Photos that are too wide will push the Banners out to the sides of the browser window, which will make the Directory look awkward when it is displayed in a browser window. If the images you already uploaded are too large, it is possible to resize images from within File Manager using the image editor.
Adding images to user accounts
To add, change or delete a photo for a particular person, find the appropriate user account within Constituent Manager and open the record. Scroll down the "Profile" tab to the section titled "Other Information." There are two entries for images, "Small Photo" and "Large Photo." ("Small Photo" will be used as a thumbnail on Directory Pages, we don't use the large photo for our site) Click the corresponding "Browse" button to open File Manager.
To add a profile picture, find the image file that you previously uploaded to File Manager, and click on the file name. (You could also use the File Manager controls to upload an image at this time, if you didn't upload it already.)
Don't have a photo? Use the placeholder PhotoBlank.png in the faculty folder.
Deleting images from user accounts
To delete a profile picture, repeat the process above to open the Constituent record and browse for an image. Instead of clicking on a filename, however, click "clear image" to remove the picture from the Constituent record.
