Via Media, you can easily upload images and documents to Congressus Manager. You can then add these as content to your webpage, events, news items, share with groups, and more. You can organize all media into folders yourself.
Overview of folders and files
In the main menu on the left, you'll find "Media." Clicking this will display an overview of all created media folders. You can only add images or files once you've selected a folder.
Create folder
Don't have any folders yet? Then you'll need to add them first. Give your folder a name, choose a parent folder if necessary, and specify who can see it on your website.
Add files
Via Add > Add files, you can upload your desired images and documents to the folder. You can then add this folder to multiple components, such as events, groups, news, or even separately on a web page. If a folder is shown on a webpage, the folder shows the message 'This folder is being displayed on the following page:' with those webpages.
You can always edit or delete folders or the contents of a folder.
Authentication required
If you only want to share your file with active members, you can edit the Media folder and tick the Authentication required box. When you do, a visitor on your website will have to log in before being able to follow the download link for this file.
If a folder with Authentication required is shown on a public webpage, the folder shows the warning 'Documents in this protected folder are published on a public webpage'. Check the publication settings of that webpage.
Download a folder
Open the folder and click Actions > Export media. The zip file is created in the background and you see its progress. When it is ready, click Download.
Files that cannot be retrieved are skipped. You then see, for example, "Exported 48 of 50 files". Files with the same name get a number, such as photo (2).jpg. The download link is temporary.
