External Image Element
Use the external loader to add images that need to be loaded externally rather than embedded in to the skin. This is especially useful if you have a lot of thumbnails in a tour and are not using the Node Image element. Calling the images from an external source will help keep the tour running smooth rather than sluggish.
You can also embed a YouTube or Vimeo video.
You can change the content (URL) of an external image dynamically using a ‘Set Value’ action.
Settings
External URL – Enter the image’s URL for externally loading the images. The URL can be a file path or a web URL. The paths should be absolute.
Content Scaling – Choose how the content will be scaled within the frame of the external image container. Choose from the following options:
- Fill
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Min
- Max
- None
Never enlarge – Select to never scale the content up.
Clip content – Select to have the content always clipped.
Alignment – Choose how the content will align to the external image container.
