Linchpin Events uses either images uploaded by users or images from a royalty-free database like Unsplash.com.

Integrate Unsplash.com images

Click on the Search button in the event creation wizard. Type in the word you are looking for and click Search. Select an image that fits. Once you select an image, it is cropped automatically and applied to your event.



Tip #1

The search bar responds to the name of the event. If your event is named "Christmas party", the search will display fitting images. Use the search bar below the images to refine your search (for example when you don't want to see any Christmas themed images, but only images of Santa Clause).


Tip #2

The three images you see are not as perfect as they could be? Click Search again. Three new images will load. Repeat until you find the perfect image for your event.



Upload your own image

You can upload your own cover image for your event.

In the event creation wizard, click on Upload. Select the file you wish to upload. The image will load. 

Now, crop the image. Select the image section you want to be displayed as the event image. Click on the Apply button.

You can reposition the cropping tool anytime. Click on Apply again to apply the new image section as a cover image.

Make sure your image is at least 450 x 170 px



Activate the Unsplash.com functionality

Navigate to Confluence administration > Linchpin Events > Configuration > Event images.

Click on the slider next to "unsplash.com". A window with a disclaimer will open.

Read the disclaimer and activate both checkboxes. Then, click on the OK button.

The activation of the image database integration requires the agreement to the terms of use of the respective image database as well as access to the public internet on this Confluence instance.

This feature needs to be activated by the Confluence administration. It is an optional feature that is activated voluntarily.

//SEIBERT/MEDIA can't guarantee that every image uploaded to Unsplash.com is actually royalty-free. //SEIBERT/MEDIA can't and won't take any responsibility for possible copyright infringements made by the customer. If a third party tries to assert claims to compensate for damages to //SEIBERT/MEDIA, the customer is obligated to pay for any costs that result from those claims.

Make sure to read and understand the Unsplash.com terms of use before the activation of this function.
