CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I have some png files which I would include into my website. For that I'm using the <img/> tag. And I would also include a few pdf files. For that I'm using the <a> tag.
Now I want to know whether there's a special folder in which I should store these documents? Or can I simply create a path called "images" and another path called "pdffiles" under the root folder?
I will upload the files only via FTP, so no upload function of the CMS is needed.

Thanks in advance!

You can do what you want .

But think it's better to use the CMSMS scheme (images to /uploads/images and pdf to /uploads/pdf).

You don't know what you will do in the future on your website and some modules need this scheme.

As chandra said, you can do whatever works best for you.

Something I do differently is if the image will be used as part of a template, I use a directory called /images/ that is not inside of the /uploads/ directory. I do the same with any external CSS and Javascript files -- I keep them out of the /uploads/ directory.

OK and is there also a scheme for zip or exe files?

Yeah, was the scheme in previous CMSMS versions and make sense for me cause editors should not have access to template related files.

/uploads/zip
/uploads/exe

I put template images in uploads/images/templates, and template JS files in uploads/images/js .. I try to keep everything non-cmsms in /uploads, so if I have to re-install CMSMS (hacked, corrupted), I just remove everything that's not in /uploads and re-install.. Keeps everything organized.
