Image Property Options

There will be defaults for an image that is added with the editor. If you want to change the image, you can apply various classes via the inline editor in the same place you would add the image source URL, alt tag, and title tag. This would prevent you from needing to access the manage snippet editor when creating content for inventory list pages.


Below is a list of the different classes you can apply to to the image and what it does.

  1. Default
    1. This is the default format that applies to all images. This will apply the correct sizing of the image with some padding underneath with it aligned to the left
  2. Right
    1. When you apply the “right” class, this will have the same format as the default but align it to the right of the page
  3. Nopadding
    1. When you apply the “nopadding” class, this will be the same format as the default but remove the padding from the bottom of the image.
  4. Nopaddingright
    1. When you apply the “nopaddingright” class, this will have the same formatting as the default, but will remove the padding underneath and move the image to the right.
  5. Twentyfive
    1. When you apply the “twentyfive” class, this will resize the image from the default 20% to 25% in the cases you want a bigger image.

  2. buttonsbelow 

    1. This will force the buttons below any images and text on its own “row” or “line” on the page
