Enable image uploads

Events administrators may associate images with events by either including a public image URL or by uploading an image. Two fields are available per event:  Image URL and Thumbnail URL.  Thumbnails are used in the "Upcoming" events listing.  The full image is used in the detailed event view.

The public image URL (and thumbnail URL) fields are part of the standard event form and can accept a URL to any image publicly available on the web. Image uploads, however, must be enabled explicitly for a calendar suite (see below) for the field to appear in the event form.  During image upload, thumbnail images are automatically generated. 

Enabling Image Uploads

(Image uploads are enabled by default for in Bedework 3.10). 

1. Log into the public events administrative webclient (e.g. http://localhost:8080/caladmin )
   
   
2. Create an image repository (folder) inside Bedework
   
   1. Open the admin client.
   2. Visit the Systems tab.
   3. Click on Manage Calendars and Folders.
   4. Create a folder under /public.  Let's call it images.
      
      Note that this directory can be named anything you like - and you can use a different directory for different calendar suites, should you choose to do so.
      
      
3. In the calendar suite preferences, add the path to that folder
1. Visit the Calendar Suite tab.
2. Click on Manage preferences.
3. Fill in Default image directory with, in our example, /public/images.
4. Save your changes

2. Visit the Calendar Suite tab.
3. Click on Manage preferences.
