Use plugins administrations interface or ftp to upload images. The plugin creates itself necessary thumbnails and watermarks according to settings in plugin configuration file.
If you want imgcube to run on mobile devices you must install the plugin CMsimple Mobile.
3. Configuration and Administration interface
Please read online help supplied with configuration and administration interface.
Jump to "Common Administration Interface" to read more about thumbnail, waternmariks and image editing.
Redefining configuration
Plugin configuration can be redefined by call to a function imgrotator_config(configuration_string, value) before a call to the plugin e.g.:
You have to use { {{PLUGIN: ....}}} notation to get it working.
mobile stiling
To get it working on mobile devices all container calsses must contain "imgcube". The default class is "imgcube" and if you need more cubes on the same page than you can use "imgcube_1" or "second_imgcube" or anything else containing a substring "imgcube"
