Article: Content > Image Manager > Add an image

Post by westis »

Please read, correct & modify:

Content > Image Manager > Add an image

The image manager lets you browse the images on your server, that is all images that are in the folder (and its sub-folders) that you have set to be the image upload folder in config.php. Usually this is uploads/images/. You find the Image Manager at Content > Image Manager.

To add an image, do like this:

1. Browse to the folder where you would like the image to be uploaded to.

2. Click the Browse button on the line where it says "Uploads File:" below the image browser.

3. Browse to the image file that you would like to upload.

4. Click Send.


Note: The maximum size of images that can be uploaded is set in config.php (in bytes) (Comment: What is the default size?!?). Your server may also limit the file size that can be uploaded, which may create errors if larger files than this limit are uploaded.


Comment: Should there be a separate section for "Create a folder"?
Create a folder
To create a new folder, do like this:

1. If you're not already there, navigate to Content > Image Manager.

2. If you'd like the new folder to become a sub-folder to the default image uploads folder, then write a name of the new folder on the line beside "Create New Folder" at the bottom of the Image Manager. If you'd like to put the new folder as a sub-folder to another folder, then simply browse to the folder where you wold like the new folder to be.

3. Click Create and the folder is created.

Browse to the folder where you'd like the new folder to be (or create a sub-folder to the default uploads folder). Then
