CMS Banner Pictures

Elements CMS

Hi,
I just started to move my 20 blog entry site to the online editor. Tried to go with the free version, because we do not grow the blog to much, we are manufacturing.
Is, in the free version, a banner picture possible? Where would I put that.
In the old version you head a header section in the .md files like so:

title: “Bem vindo ao blog da embatek”
small-label: “bem vindo”
date: 2022-07-12
draft: false
author: Pierre
category: Informação
tags: [Industrial]
image: images/suamarca.png

and the image could be called upon with {{item.image.src}}
Is that not possible with the online version/free?
Txs

Hi @pfroelicher

yes, that’s possible. you just need to set the frontmatter correctly for the image, then you’ll be able to use {{item.image.src}}

Set the image in the frontmatter like this:

image:
  src: images/suamarca.png

You can read more about frontmatter on our docs page: Frontmatter | CMS | RapidWeaver Elements Docs

Ben, Thanks for the answer.
Yes, I had manually created .md files.
But I switched to the online Editor.
There is only a Title field. No way to put, date, author, image.src info.
Is this not possible in the free version?

The free version allows you to edit the frontmatter already present in the markdown file.

The Pro Online Editor allows you to setup frontmatter templates, so each file gets the same frontmatter editing options.

So if you want to use the free version, you’ll need to ensure each markdown file has the appropriate frontmatter before you start editing.

Hope that helps :blush:
