How do you defined the asset source?

<p>In my rich text field I want to add images to the toolbar. 
I have done everything that has to be done: I've added "image" to the Standar.json file and selected the Standard.json to be used for the field.</p>

<p>The thing is, the 'image upload' is not added to the toolbar.
If I add "list" to the Standard.json the list does get added into the toolbar.</p>

<p>Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix this?</p>

In my rich text field I want to add images to the toolbar.
I have done everything that has to be done: I've added "image" to the Standar.json file and selected the Standard.json to be used for the field.

The thing is, the 'image upload' is not added to the toolbar.
If I add "list" to the Standard.json the list does get added into the toolbar.

Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix this?

You probably don't have an *Asset Volume* defined yet. The button won't show up if there are no Asset Volumes, regardless of what your Redactor config specifies.
