Hi & Sorry to bother you with maybe very obvious thing, but I wanted to start by testing this template, with my own text. And there’s no way I can find how to edit: whenever I click on the url, il opens the url. How am I supposed to edit? Thks Cloudinary Management Console - Transformations [image] I can’t even replace the Sample Text “The More You Know” by my own one, for a start. :confused:

First upload an image to the base folder and use it as background. Then use the text component to add text by specifying the x and y co-ordinates. These are URL changes. An example can be found below. “https://res.cloudinary.com/dnj6xry45/image/upload/$text_!The%20More%20You%20Know!,$arc_115/fl_lossy,q_auto/co_rgb:000000,e_distort:arc:$arc,g_center,l_text:futura_50:$(text),o_50,x_-2,y_-186/co_rgb:ffffff,e_distort:arc:$arc,g_center,l_text:futura_50:$(text),o_50,x_1,y_-189/c_scale,w_250/v1638532196/recipes/scout-chrono.png” Replace your text between the $text_! and ! using the URL directly. For example: “https://res.cloudinary.com/dnj6xry45/image/upload/$text_!The%20is%20a%20test%20striing!,$arc_115/fl_lossy,q_auto/co_rgb:000000,e_distort:arc:$arc,g_center,l_text:futura_50:$(text),o_50,x_-2,y_-186/co_rgb:ffffff,e_distort:arc:$arc,g_center,l_text:futura_50:$(text),o_50,x_1,y_-189/c_scale,w_250/v1638532196/recipes/scout-chrono.png”

Thks, but where exactly is the text component? I only see images “components” on the left pane, and nothing as simple as a text “component”. Is it really a component, or do I have to edit the raw url? Provided I know how to click in edit mode without opening the url instead. Very confused. I can load my background, OK, but there’s no (easy) way I can find the simple text layout “component” [image] I tried the “More options”, “Overlay”, but it’s expecting an image, not a simple text. I also tried “Add tag”, it does not seem to react as I thought [image]

[image] ShantanuIyengar: Replace your text between the $text_! and ! I don’t understand how you enter in edit mode in the 1st place. I can only launch the url, never edit it :confused: Thks

Yes, this is how Cloudinary works, it allows us to change the image via the URL without having to go back to the dashboard.

Have you seen my tutorial? [image] Cloudinary: Image Filters and Overlays in Glide! Community Resources Thanks to @ionamol for keying me into Cloudinary for on the fly, URL based image editing! This awesome resource allowed me to gray out badges that haven’t yet been earned by the user— [ScreenFlow] Started by uploading the image into Cloudinary and then using the built in tools to generate the new URL. Used this URL schema to create this formula: [Screen Shot 2020-02-25 at 9.01.41 AM] Then, simply created an if/then in Glide. If the badge was owned by the user, then use the colored URL, i…

Aha, I may start to understand: scout-chrono.png (250×334) (cloudinary.com) I just edit the url from my browser’s address bar. Is it how this is supposed to work? [image]

Here’s a more indepth video tutorial. I’ll make a more polished version within the next couple days: [image] Bob's Project · Glide - 3 December 2021

Thks, Bob :cherry_blossom: You also solved another enhancement I wished to colorize Youtube thumbnails, thus harmonizing them better with my layout, instead of “patchworking videos-list”. Where did you find all the parameters?
