Hi there
I have a subpage where I can add images. Either selecting or uploading.
What I would like to have, is the possibility to select images from ALL images I ever uploaded to this whole page (subpages, parent pages, does not matter. Just give me access to the whole media folder). Otherwise I have to reupload…
Is this even possible, or does having the same image on two pages mean, that I need to upload the image twice?
I tried to find questions that already address this issue, but could not find a proper solution (Maybe solutions with fetch: images
, but I don’t quite understand this.
Thanks for some input on this…
Cheers
The alternative is to use a separate folder (in /content
) for all images and set your blueprint’s textarea, files fields and files section to upload to/query from this folder.

Ok, sounds good. Thanks for the quick reply. How would I refer to this folder (respectively how would I tell the blueprint to upload and fetch files from there?
Here is an example for a files section:
files:
type: files
label: Banner Image
type: files
max: 1
options: query
query: site.find('mediastore').images
layout: cards
size: medium
uploads:
parent: site.find('mediastore')
template: image
image:
back: white
cover: true
ratio: 1/1
A files field:
fields:
cover:
type: files
query: site.find('mediastore').images
Textarea field:
textarea:
type: textarea
files:
query: site.find("mediastore").files.template("textarea-upload")
image:
cover: true
uploads:
parent: site.find("mediastore")
template: textarea-upload
In each case, the page folder is called mediastore
.

Thank you. I will try this out soon.
Hi,
I am trying to implement this and I managed to make it partly work.
When I upload an image on a page where the textarea is declared like that, the image ends up in the mediastore folder. Perfect.
But I would like to have a tab on the site blueprint where all the images in the mediastore folder are showing. And nothing is showing up, even though there are files in the mediastore folder.
- The mediastore folder site in content/
- The tab in the site blueprint uses the code you have for the files section
The tab does show images that are loose in the content folder. It seems to ignore the find bit and only looks in site for images.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
