Direct upload of new files to download lists

For download lists, new files can be uploaded directly in the page editor via the “Edit” function. If the list uses categories as filters, these are automatically set for all uploaded files.

For this option to be available, the storage location for the uploaded files must either be determined automatically or set manually.

One of the following conditions must be met for the upload function to be available. The “Edit item” with the upload option for a download list will only be displayed if this is the case.

Option A: The list is properly configured

If a download list is properly configured, the upload option is automatically available. The following conditions must be met for this:

  • Exactly one search folder is configured in the list.
  • The configured search folder is either a download gallery or an image gallery, or it is a subfolder of such a gallery folder.

If the above conditions are met, the search folder of the list is automatically used as the storage location for the uploaded files and the “Edit Point” is displayed.

Option B: The storage location is set manually as a list parameter.

If the storage location is not clearly configured, it has to be specified manually in the list so that the upload option is available. To do this, proceed as follows:  

  • Open the list configuration in the form editor.
  • Switch to the Advanced tab.
  • Activate the Parameter option at the bottom by pressing [+].
  • Enter the following under Key:
    binary.upload.target
  • Enter the path to the storage location under Value, e.g.:
    /.galleries/downloads/
  • Save and exit the form editor.

The folder specified as the value is now used as the storage location for the uploaded files and the “Edit Point” is displayed.

Note: If the storage location was specified with the parameter binary.upload.target, this is always used, even if the list is clearly configured.
