Creating an Image Upload Content Type

There are times when you need a place to store an image for another application or email. This is often the case for Bedeworks Calendar where you want to add images to the header. Do to this, you need to:

• create a Content Type that allows you to upload the image to your YaleSite
• create a View that allows you to display the images you uploaded, and get the URL from that display. 

You can either create the View manually or download the following files and import them.

Create the Content Type and View Manually

1. Use the basic instructions to create the Content Type, adding only an image field. Creating custom content types and fields
