Add Resource
1. Select the resource type that you want to add.
2. Add Resource File
There are two way to add resource.
A. Upload images or single image via Drag-n-Drop. Drag an image from your desktop on to the drop zone to upload automatically files to server and map to products, categories, brands.. etc. Note on browser support: Microsoft Edge has a bug which stops drag and drop from working. It sounds like they are aware of it and hope to fix it.
B. Upload files via Add Resource button. Sometimes dragging & dropping files is not a comfortable way for selecting files for upload. Especially when you are in front of a small screen size computer. Therefore it would be nice to let users choose the method they prefer.
3. Add Resource HTML
| Note: We do not recommend you to use external image that was added via Add Resources HTML for your product image because: 1. The default image zoom does not work with external image, you will need to modify the default template file to disable the image zoom. 2. If you use more than 1 external image, only the first one will be shown. |
| Notes on embed: This is for embeding something from some other site into the store, and an embed image is not the same as adding an image resource. The added image is an actual upload to your server location. An embed is an image that exists on some other site and simply has a link to the store data block. If that link changes on the other site – your store will not have a correct display. |
