Hi,

We don't quite understand what the media tab in the admin interface stands for !
What should we, or could we put in that "folder" and what for ?
We currently create our classes to contain our media (pictures...).

Thanks for your replies.

Francis.

Hi Francis,

This tab is used so that site editors can store pictures for use with online editor. It looks like you store you images in the class which is fine. When you want to have freedom over positioning, users you need to select them via the related information list so they can be used in the online editor (XML text field)
