Image and Document Managers

Image and Document Managers

Uploaded documents and images are stored in the folder which is specified in the 'web.config' file of the backoffice (you can read about it in this chapter).
You can manage the images and documents not only through the 'Image Manager' or 'Document Manager' but also via FTP.
The same image or a document can be added to the different content items. 
When a content item is deleted, the related image or document will stay on the server.

By default the maximum size of an image or a document allowed is 20 Mb.

Supported image types are: *.gif, *.png, *.jpg, *.jpe, *.jpeg, *.bmp.

Supported document types are: *.doc, *.txt, *.docx, *.xls, *.xlsx, *.pdf.

In order to specify the path to the image and document storage please complete next steps:

• Open the 'web.config' file of the 'Sana.Commerce.BackOffice' project in VS2008;
• Locate the 'appSettings' configuration section:
  
  <appSettings>
      <add key="FrontendUrl" value="#FRONTENDURL#"/>
      <add key="FrontendThumbnailPath" value="#PATH TO THUMBNAIL#"/>
      <add key="FrontendImagesContentPath" value="#PATH TO IMAGES AND DOCUMENTS#"/>
      <add key="ThemesContentFolder" value="..\Sana.Commerce.Startersite\content\images\Themes"/>
  </appSettings>
  
  The attributes are described in the table below:
