File manager in the bluetronix CMS – manage files, images, and code
In this tutorial, you will get to know the file manager in the bluetronix CMS. The tutorial shows you how to manage files and folders, upload or create images using AI, edit content in the editor, and access HTML or PHP code depending on your role.
Overview of the file manager
This tutorial shows you the file manager in the bluetronix CMS. Open it via CMS ⯈ Files to manage files, folders, and content centrally.
The folders and HTML files are marked in yellow. TXT files, like robots.txt, are marked in green.
Upload files and images
You can upload images and documents via the file manager – even multiple files at once.
There are specific settings for uploads. You can specify whether images are automatically scaled during upload.
Choose target sizes, for example 600 to 4800 PX. If you need the original image without adjustments, use the option Upload Original Image without Scaling.
Generate AI images directly in the folder
Within a folder, you can also create an AI image directly. Click on AI Image, describe your desired subject, and generate the image instantly.
Create and edit files
In the file manager, you can create new files. By default, a HTML file is created.
You can then edit the file in the editor. As an admin, you also have access to the HTML Code View.
If you are logged in as an agency admin, you can also use the PHP Code View. If this button is missing, check the tutorial Order Agency Admin.
Build folder structures
You can also create new folders in the file manager. This allows you to build your own structures, for example by languages or categories.
You open folders with a double-click. You can return to the main folder anytime by clicking Back.
Copy, back up, and delete files
You can delete, copy, and paste created files. This allows you to quickly create a copy.
Especially for important files, like your index file, it is advisable to create a copy before making changes – in addition to the automatic backup system.
Additional functions in the file manager
Folders can also be password protected. There is a separate video for this.
You can check if you are editing the correct file via the preview.
You can also download files, for example, to save a PDF locally.
Use the image editor
An integrated image editor is also available to you. With it, you can flip images, adjust quality, change contrast, and make further optimizations.
You can check if you are editing the correct file via the preview.
Prepare web pages and edit code
Through the file manager, you create new web page files and edit them in advance in the editor. These pages are not public yet, as they are not linked in the system.
You can prepare complete folder and file structures and later incorporate them into the navigation.
Finally, the tutorial shows the code view: You insert a sample page section, save briefly, and then edit the displayed HTML source code directly.
