Cloudinary Cloud Name

Which Cloudinary account the image is served from. Normally filled in for you.

Where to find it
Labelled Cloudinary Cloud Name in the "Selected Component" section of the Modify drawer.
Per device
No — this setting has a single value that applies on every screen.

In plain English

Every Cloudinary account has a short name that identifies it, and it forms part of the address every image is delivered from. This setting records which account this image belongs to.

You will rarely touch it. When you pick an image through the Media Selector, RuleCMS knows which account it came from and handles this for you. It exists for the unusual case of pointing a component at an image in a different account from the one your team normally uses.

When you would use it

  • An image needs to come from a Cloudinary account other than your team's default.
  • You are diagnosing an image that will not load and want to confirm which account it is being requested from.

How to change it

  1. Click the image component on the canvas.
  2. In the Modify drawer, open "Selected Component", then "Cloudinary Cloud Name".
  3. Enter the cloud name exactly as it appears in that Cloudinary account.

Watch out for

  • Prefer the Media Selector. Setting the cloud name and public ID by hand skips the library and means the image is not tracked as one of your team's assets.
  • A wrong cloud name produces a broken image with no explanation, because the address it builds simply does not exist.
