We looked at adding new fields to taxonomies here and now we need to add images. Thank you Mike Wilson for contributing this step-by-step tutorial for doing just that. Also thanks to NancyDru for the taxonomy image module
NB: This recipe is specifically built around copying and pasting from the existing images. Obviously you would need to upload a new image if you are creating a new exhibit…
Linking Images to a Archival Taxonomy
• Follow this path: “Content Management” -> “Taxonomy”
• For the [Name Type] “archival taxonomy” click on the [Operations] “list terms” ;
• Once on the “Terms in archival taxonomy, click on the “edit” link for the term, e.g. “antique” ;
• On the “Edit term” page, click on down arrow for “Term Image” ;
• Click into the “Use external image” box ;
• Open another tab/browser window and go to, for example the Historical Collections’ online exhibits page; right mouse click on the representative image to be associated with the taxonomic term and “Copy image location” ;
• Go back to the “Use external image” box and right-mouse to “paste” in the location.
