The mediawiki version (1.34) powering this platform has been enhanced in order to support the storage of images and media files at a specific path, so that each organization can save all their images within a specific "folder" (under the main page itself of the organization, or whatever subpage within it) and can easily retrieve them from the visual editor media gallery, without mixing up their files with those of other organizations, and without file names conflicts or restrictions.
Upload of multiple images through WikiEditor
Cultura italiana offers a forked version of MsUpload in order to automatically upload multiple pictures at a given path. Just click the button below
and include the uploaded pictures using the interface. They will be saved under the current page path, so the pictures filenames can be created according to that, and notwithstanding they can be inserted in other pages, following the instructions below, without the need to upload them again (inasmuch they become available in the Visual editor's Media gallery).
Upload of images through VisualEditor
Cultura italiana offers a forked version of VisualEditor in order to automatically upload pictures at a given path or to include pictures contained in a given path/folder (typically one within the pages tree of an organization) browsing them through the media gallery. Just follow these steps to insert an existing picture at a given path, or to add a new one:
- click "Insert" and then "Media" in the dropdown menu.
If you want to add a new picture then select the tab "upload" and upload the file.
After uploading you will be able to specify where to save that picture. Managers of Italian culture and language center can save their pictures under the main page of their organization or in whatever subpage of it. Administrators can save pictures also at root level ('/').
To insert an existing picture, select a root path where to search for existing pictures: typically it will correspond to the main page of your organization:
Select the relevant picture from the gallery to be inserted on the page
then click the top right button "use image" to include it on your page!
That's all! By this way pictures can be easily ordered and managed without filename conflicts and other limitations!
