Edit the Image Rotator

OU Campus Training and Standards

Prior to editing the image rotator, users are encouraged to either attend a training session for editing the image rotator, or request a one-on-one image rotator training.

Each directory requires specific settings by the Web team prior to editing the image rotator. Please email web@uttyler.edu to check the image settings for your department site.

By default, pages are set up using a rotating image, or no image at all. Below are the options available for each page:

Generic Image Rotator

A generic image rotator includes many images rotating from a generic folder. Images within the generic rotator folder are updated periodically to include new images. Because the generic image rotator folder includes a large number of generic campus images, it is safe to display on most pages. OU Campus users do can be set up with access to update their image rotator.

Directory-Specific Image Rotator

• The Web team can configure a department website to point to directory-specific image rotators. 
• Users must confirm with the Web team that their site is configured for directory-specific image rotators.
• Users can upload new images for their set of rotators.
• Images MUST be configured to the appropriate size, 870x350

To add/delete images from your image rotator, from OU Campus navigate to the path your image rotator files are located. Most of the time, the path will be: images > users > directoryname > rotating.

Once you are in the folder, you can add/delete as needed. 

NOTE: If you upload new images, they must be published in order to display. For assistance, submit a support ticket to the web team.

Individual Image

• This option could be used for a specific event or topic.
• Images MUST be configured to the appropriate size, 870x350
