Media library

Media library

The Media section is the site's library of images and files. Here you upload article covers, page images, documents.

Uploading

  1. Open Media.
  2. Click "Upload" and select files (several at once is fine).
  3. The files appear in the library and become available for insertion.

Uploaded files are stored in storage/uploads/ and served via a direct link.

Usage

  • When creating an article/page, the image field opens a picker from the media library — select the file you need.
  • To insert into text, copy the file's link from the library.

Image size variants

For images the engine can serve scaled-down versions — this speeds up page loading. In templates these are filters:

{image_url|thumb}    <!-- small preview -->
{image_url|medium}   <!-- medium size -->
{image_url|large}    <!-- large size -->

A content manager doesn't need to do anything — variants are chosen automatically wherever the theme uses them.

Deleting

Delete only files you're sure aren't used: after deletion, links to them on the site will "break" (the image stops opening). Before deleting, make sure the file isn't attached to a published record.

Recommendations

  • Compress images before uploading (weight affects site speed and SEO).
  • Use clear file names in latin letters.
  • For covers, stick to a single aspect ratio — the feed will look tidy.
