TeamRaiser Banner Image

Options
When configuring a TeamRaiser, in Step 13: Customize Pages under Related Actions we have the ability to Select Banner.



You are presented with a pretty standard Luminate image chooser / file uplaod screen.  However it includes the caviate statment:

 
Enter the name of the file on your computer or use the Browse button to select the file. Images must be .gif, .jpg, or .png files. Files with a .jpg or .png type will be automatically resized to fit in a 500 x 400 pixel space. The maximum acceptable file size is 2 Mb.



Is there any way to overide the automatic resize to 500x400 px size spaces?



Regards,

  • Hi JP,



    I don't think you can override / bypass / trick the image upload restriction because the validation happened on the server side.



    However I could suggest you might want to try other alternatives such as the use of "Custom Page" (tab next to "TeamRaiser Pages" also still within that 12. Customize Pages)



    In that you can upload image with less / no restriction specified. Also the benefit of using "Custom Page" -- it is accessible through the EMC which is the Event Manager Center, so you could delegate the image upload/swapping going onward to those non administrative staff that has been given access as "Event Managers" 



    Now the interesting part on 'retrieve' this uploaded image -- you could use jQuery Load to simply load the content of that custom page sans pagewrapper component to optimize the performance reducing bottleneck (by appending that &pgwrap=n within the load url parameter;  also make sure to use relative path to avoid mixed security content).  With JQuery Load you also have more flexibility to put the 'banner' image anywhere within the page.



    Actual examples of implementation of the above on our site:



    http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TourAdmin?pg=entry&fr_id=11010      (the background banner is pulled from custom TR page)



    http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TourAdmin?pg=entry&fr_id=11054   (the side image on the right top is pulled from custom TR page)



    http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TourAdmin?pg=entry&fr_id=11102  (background image and side right image are pulled from custom TR pages)



    Hope that helps.



    regards,

    Daniel
