How do I make background images editable on landing page?

Hi Community,

 

I was attempting to enable editability on two background images on a custom-built landing page template.

 

I changed the code for these images from the following:

 

 

<meta class="mktoString" id="sec1_bg_image" mktoName="Section-1 BG Image" default="http://promos.ovstravel.com/rs/512-JJP-615/images/AdobeStock_213835443_Preview.jpeg">

<meta class="mktoString" id="sec3_bg_image" mktoName="Section-3 BG Image" default="http://promos.ovstravel.com/rs/512-JJP-615/images/AdobeStock_154151287_Preview.jpeg">

 

 

To the below: (changed meta class to mktoImg and added mtkoModuleScope="true")

 

 

<meta class="mktoImg" id="sec1_bg_image" mktoName="Section-1 BG Image" default="http://promos.ovstravel.com/rs/512-JJP-615/images/AdobeStock_213835443_Preview.jpeg" mktoModuleScope="true">

<meta class="mktoImg" id="sec3_bg_image" mktoName="Section-3 BG Image" default="http://promos.ovstravel.com/rs/512-JJP-615/images/AdobeStock_154151287_Preview.jpeg" mktoModuleScope="true">

 

 

Below is how the images appear without adding the ModuleScope and changing the meta classes to mktoImg:

This is how the landing page appears when adding the modulescope and changing the meta classes.

 

The Section-3-BG block appears but in the wrong place and the Section-1-BG block doesn't show at all.

When I add images to the landing page and preview the page, both images appear at the top instead of in the places they would ordinarily appear.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

There is some external styling for this page, but I'm not sure if that would affect the appearance since I haven't changed anything but updating the code to be able to edit the images.

mktoImg is also not supported by Landing Pages, if we will use mktoImg then it will work as a simple image not background image.

That's simply not true. It only requires out-of-the-box thinking.

Hi @Guitarrista82 

 

In the Landing Pages, mtkoModuleScope do not work, so please avoid using mtkoModuleScope in the LPs, it works in the emails only.

 

Use code like the below - 

<meta class="mktoString" id="Header_BG_Image" mktoName="Banner-1 Desktop Background Image" default="http://via.placeholder.com/1900x651">

 

And, after that the Image URL will show in the Variables not in the Elements.

@Jasbir_Kaur as you can see in the original post, the goal is to use browseable mktoImg elements. Not mktoString.

Thank you both!

 

I actually discovered how to swap out the images.

 

This is my first time working with Marketo landing pages in a while so I didn't realize I could just swap out the URLs in the Variables section. 

 

After copying the URLs from the Design Studio, I was able to paste them in and the images were switched out.
