Overview


File Manager is a menu item in the CMS. It can be used to maintain product images. Unlike images uploaded via the Integrator, there are no restrictions on the number of images you can upload and how an image is named. You can also add tagging to an image. 


You can upload product images in the CMS via File Manager or in Product Maintenance if the Product Media setting has been enabled.   

Product images uploaded via File manager will not be checked that the file size is suitable. Therefore you must ensure that the image is not too large to be efficient for the web. The maximum file sizes to ensure fast loading are: desktop/tablet: 250kb, mobile: 50kb. 

Four copies of the uploaded image in the following pixel sizes will be created and placed in the appropriate folder:

  • Thumbnail folder - 50 x 50 px
  • Small folder - 250 x 250 px
  • Medium folder - 500 x 500 px
  • Large folder - 1000 x 1000 px

   


Upload images in Product Maintenance 


First, navigate to Products & Categories → Product Maintenance, then find the product you require. Scroll down to the Product Media section.


Edit images in CMS File Manager

To change or upload a product image in File Manager:

  1. In the CMS, navigate to Content → File Manager.


  2. The File Manager window provides a list of images folders. Click on the ProductImages folder. 
  3. If this image is not yet linked to a particular product, upload it to the Original folder. Then add it to the product via Product Maintenance.
  4. If you want to edit an existing image file that is already added to a product, select the appropriately-sized folder: Thumbnail, Small, Medium or Large.

  5. Replace the image file. NOTE - Remember that there are optimal pixel sizes for an image in each folder.  



Additional Information

By default, the CMS-uploaded image at the top of this list will be the first image displayed in any search on your site and in the Product Detail page. If a product has images uploaded via the Integrator and the CMS and you want the first Integrator-uploaded image to display first, please contact Commerce Vision to enable this option. NOTE - this option is available only for versions 4.21.02 and above.
