To host and reuse images within the Thought Industries LMS:

  1. Create a Custom Page

    • Title the page clearly (e.g., Image Host - DO NOT DELETE) to avoid accidental removal.

  2. Add a Single Column Widget

    • On the page, add a Single Column Widget.

    • Insert your desired image into this widget using the native image upload tool.

  3. Get the Image URL

    • After uploading, right-click the image and select “Copy image address”.

    • This gives you the direct URL to the image, hosted on Thought Industries’ CDN.

  4. Use the Image Anywhere

    • You can now embed or reference this URL wherever needed in the LMS.

    • Example: On the Admin Dashboard, you can inject the image into an empty div using CSS.

.looker-embed::before {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  background-image: url("https://d36ai2hkxl16us.cloudfront.net/course-uploads/c50f33e0-665b-4906-a26e-7d18bc3b9c5e/j7d8icugc9gg-Interplay.plus.ITI.Logo.BIG.png");
  background-size: contain;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  height: 100px;
  margin-bottom: 16px;
}

NOTE:  The Reports had to be removed with CSS FIRST

The end result that you can click on and go to our new company homepage.  I may change to take you to a support ticket.  I dunno.  There seem to be some rules that it didn’t like when I added dimensions.  Only two pages where it appears.

So the URL of the image, because there is no insert image here, is from this page. And the URL can be extracted from edit mode HTML view.

Just an image placeholder page.

 

​@Community Team any cautions or thoughts, other than you MUST target just the div or call out just the page.  Thanks.

If you aren’t sure what I am doing here just ask.  Essentially, every media needs a host.  A place to live w an address.  Ti is popular for using cloudfront even though you think it’s “Ti”.  If you upload media into a video page it goes to Wistia by default.  If you upload an image in one of those little drag here boxes it goes to cloudfront.  There is no little box on the admin homepage layout so it needed a host and now it has one on a hidden page.
