Photo
A Photo is used to display a single image and can be a page or pagelet. Photo pages are often used together to make a Photo Album.
If you want to include an image within some text, then a Photo pagelet is not for you. Instead, you want an Embedded Image.
Photo pages and pagelets support a wide range of image formats. For more information, please see the "Images" article.
Ways to add a Photo to a site:
- Use the "Pages" or "Pagelets" items in the toolbar.
- Choose "Add Page" or "Add Pagelet" from the Site menu.
- Drag an image (from the Media Browser, Finder or another application) to the Site Outline or Web View.
If you create a Photo page or pagelet by dragging an image from iPhoto, Sandvox will attempt to set the Photo's title, caption and any keywords from it.
Sandvox automatically replaces a Photo page's icon in the Site Outline with a thumbnail of the photo like this:
Photo pages and pagelets are limited in their width in order to accommodate the size of the site design. For more information, please see "Image sizing of Photo pages and pagelets."
Settings
To edit a Photo page:
- Select the page in the Site Outline.
- Open the Page Inspector to adjust any general page attributes; otherwise use the Selection Inspector.
To edit a Photo pagelet:
- Click the pagelet to select it.
- Open the Selection Inspector. The top half contains general pagelet attributes; the bottom contains settings specific to the Photo pagelet.
Description
The text that will appear for any visitors who cannot see the image. Please see the "Accessibility" article for further information.
Source
There are two options available here; "specified image" and "URL."
- In most cases, "specified image" is the best choice. Drag an image into the box from the Media Browser, Finder, or another application.
- The "URL" option allows you to use an image hosted on another website. Enter the address of the image. Please be courteous and not "hijack" images from other websites.
Link To
Check the box and the photo becomes a link.
- "Link to full-size image" will display a magnifying glass
below the image. Visitors can click it to view the full-size photo. Note that this is only enabled in the published site; clicking the magnifying glass within Sandvox will not open the image. - Choose "Link to external URL" and clicking the photo will take visitors to the URL you specify.
