File Browser

Certain features of the WYSIWYG (such as inserting a link or inserting an image) allow you to browse the server to find the relevant file or page.

Note

When inserting an image, only images are shown to you - all non-images are filtered out automatically.

When you choose the browse the server, a new popup loads which lists files and pages and available to you.

The WYSIWYG file browser

In the left column are the different types of items you can link to. In the main area is the list of files (if any). If the item is folder, click the folder name to load the folder and view any files and sub-folders.

To insert a folder or file back into the WYSIWYG, click the Insert button beside the item.

You can create sub-folders and upload files using the respective options in the file browser. Note however that you cannot do this for the Pages section of the file browser.

Inserting Thumbnails

If you are using the browser to insert a link to an image, you can also insert a link to a thumbnail of the image. Each image has beside it a link labelled Thumbnail.

Clicking this link will open options for the thumbnail directly beneath the image. You can then specify the dimensions of the thumbnail (pre-filled with the dimensions of the original image).

If you choose to pad or crop the image, the produced thumbnail will be exactly the dimensions you specify (even if it doesn't match the width-height ratio of the image). Otherwise, the thumbnail will be no wider or taller than the specified dimensions (but it may be less).
