image_uri

Overview

This is an Aurora template function to allow embedding of origin images into templates.

In order to avoid having to recode your templates if you move from different image libraries, we've created a function you can use called {image_uri}. If new image libraries are integrated with Aurora these could also be made available through this function and remove the need for template changes.

👍
This function accepts the following image formats: JPG, PNG or GIF
