Images & Documents Library Module
With Images & Documents Library, Sitefinity brings content
publishing to new levels of simplicity by providing end-users with an
easy-to-use option to create, edit and share content.
The benefits for web site administrators are also noteworthy: automatic
handling of permissions and automatic storage and retrieval from/to the
project database. When migrating a project, for example, it is much
easier to transfer the whole project database, instead of transferring
and managing the image and documents files separately. Moreover, you
don’t have to take care of the image or documents paths when
creating/migrating your site – it’s been all automated.
The Images & Documents Module provides two public controls that serve to display content on a public Sitefinity page:
The Download List displays a list of files uploaded in document or custom libraries. This control has two view modes: list and table.
The Image Gallery displays images from libraries. A typical scenario in which it may be used is creating a public picture gallery on a web site.
Another advantage of the new module is the easy way to select which
item to include in a page through the rich text editor. The module
provides its own implementations of dialogs, which retrieve items from
the module and include them in the Generic Content. Based on the
Generic Content module, the Images & Documents Module inherits most
of its features such as panels for managing history, versioning, etc.
