The following instructions are one of two solutions that can be used to make links of images that can be used in Veracross (on event forms, portal backgrounds, email template headers, donation form headers, etc.). When using this solution, make sure to save the image to the Google Shared Drive: Veracross File Upload > Images (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11xHzozFViK1IaoWCaiK8U9k5tiqbWWId?usp=sharing). Request access from Carmel Veracross Admin if necessary.
- Locate the Image in your Google Drive
- Right -click on the image, and select Get Link
- Click on Restricted and chose Anyone with the link
- Click Copy Link
- Then Click the Done button
- Paste the link you just copied, into your web browser address bar
- Delete https://drive.google.com/file/d, and /view?usp=sharing
- Paste to the beginning, https://drive.google.com/uc?id=
- Now test the new link by hitting return, your picture should display in your web browser
- You can now copy your new link and use it in Veracross
