I have created a custom dialog in Magnolia CMS 5.0 to upload images, in theory, to the DAM repository. However, after I upload those pictures, I cannot find where they are stored. They are not in the Assets module as fat as I have seen.
Does anyone of you have an idea of where I can access what I upload in Magnolia? Thanks in advance.
Have a look at http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Basic+upload
Your image ends up as binary node directly under the node created by your dialog.
It might be better solution to create a link field that point to the DAM and use DAMs own upload functionality that will become available once you open selection of image from DAM.

I'm building a simple app, which shows news from different websites, e.g. https://techcrunch.com/2020/07/28/transferwise-five-unicorns/
My source is a database with news URLs.
Each article comes with an associated image. I do not have a URL of the image, only URL of news itself.
My question is, how can I get the associated image to appear in my Gallery? Is there a function I could use?
Here is an effect I'm trying to achieve:
Help please,
Thanks!

Ps. I know it is possible, as all rss readers (like Feedly) or even SharePoint news webpart easily pull image just from provided link.. but how?
Are you unable to copy the image path and manually input it into where you want it to go?
Recently started work on a BigCommerce project and on the homepage I want to have a theme area where normal site admin users can upload their own images based on holidays (Xmas, halloween etc) in the theme editor.
I know how to add in some custom elements in the theme editor using the Schema and Config files (headings, text, font colours etc), and how to reference them in the homepage. I'm also fine with referencing set images in the assets folder which aren't going to change, and manually coding references to them.
However I can't quite seem to work out how to add a custom image upload to the theme editor, or how to reference it in a page. Can't seem to find any answers in the Stencil documentation or usual Google searches etc either.
The Stencil Theme Editor currently only supports the file upload data type in the Optimized One-Page Checkout customization settings, but there are a couple of possible workarounds to allow the user to upload their custom background image and then reference it in Theme Editor settings:
One option would be to have the user upload their image to WebDAV, making sure that their image followed a naming convention that you specified. For example, the Halloween image could be required to have the file name halloween.png. You could map that value to a Theme Editor dropdown setting for Holiday Background>Halloween.
Another solution might be to have the user upload their image to WebDAV as mentioned above, but instead of a dropdown menu, you could have the user type their file's name into a text input setting in the Theme Editor. Keep in mind though that there's a 64 character limit for input values.
Hope this helps!
There are 4 ways to get images into the BigCommerce store.
You can:
Upload into the content folder through webdav. Then the images would be referenced like url.com/content/image.jpg. This does require a webdav connection and while everything does point you to using file managers like cyberduck, you can actually map a drive to a network resource to make this super easy. This mean you can create a z drive that is actually your bigcommerce content upload through webdav. It's pretty easy to set up and for customers to use. The drawback is that these files do not get put on a CDN so there's a little loss of performance.
Upload into the theme's images folders. This is complex and would require your client to figure out the stencil local dev connection and push versions up to their store. This would allow the images to be CDN'd but is super complex and your clients won't figure it out... It could also expose you to some long-term version control issues as they may be overwriting you or vice versa.
You can use the media manager to upload images. If you're referring to them in code, an easy trick is when your clients want to replace an image, to delete it and upload a new one with the exact same name... then the reference doesn't break. This is the easiest way to deal with site-wide issues from the client-side. Images are CDN'd this way as well.
You can consider using the marketing banner function for semi-temporary marketing messages. This is what it is made for, the images will be CDN'd and it's full GUI with no techy connections for your clients to figure out. This is perfect for banners that span a single page, but I don't think there is currently a side-wide setting for locations.
Our Redmine server has CKEditor, which allows for inserting images into Wiki pages, documents, etc.
The images are embedded into the pages via a direct link to the image, i.e. https://redmineserver/attachments/download/94/someimage.png.
The only way we know of to update this image is to delete it then upload the new image. The problem is that the new image will be at a different directory, i.e. https://redmineserver/attachments/download/89/someimage.png, thus breaking all our previous links to https://redmineserver/attachments/download/94/someimage.png.
There is an extension called CKFinder which will fixes this, but we're looking for a free alternative (without coding our own plugin).
Does anybody know of another plugin to update images without breaking their references?
I am new in Joomla environment and I have a question regarding Media Manager. I uploaded some images on the Media Manager and I successfully put it on my LightBox Plugin. However, I need to set the Order of each images on Media Manager. Is that even possible? or do I need to use other modules for that? please help me.
Right now I can only upload them, but I can't order how they appear in the gallery. How can we accomplish this?
You can't order the images using the Media Manager as it simply allows you to upload images. There might be an option with the lightbox extension you're using to order the images. If not, try using another extension such as the Yootheme Wigetkit. It's a component that comes with a Lightbox and allows you to upload and order the images
A joomla 1.5 website was hacked and i was commissioned to rebuild it from scratch as the current build was unusable.
the hosting company "cleaned" it and rendered it unusable.
I personally never used joomla and i just downloaded the Joomla files and folders hoping i could find the original text and images used when the website was still up and running.
No such luck.
Does anyone know where the client uploaded images and text is in a joomla 1.5 folder tree?
Thanks in advance.
Dan
The text is stored in the database in #__content. Each article will be in a new row. The user uploaded images are stored in the images subfolder of the joomla installation. However remember some may be stored within a component or modules sub-folders if installed with them.
