Hello; in my blueprint:
images:
type: files
In my Contents
I changed the blueprints a little bit, and now in the panel I’m missing all uploaded files.
How can I make it so that all images that were once uploaded in the project will be shown there? Why isn’t the type: files not doing it? Is there another way to show all files inside the project?
The purpose of a files field like in your example is to select files from files uploaded to a page. So it is basically a select field, but especially made for files.
To display all uploaded files you need a files section.
This is my sidebar blueprint:
sidebar:
width: 1/3
sections:
meta:
type: fields
fields:
date:
label: Date
type: date
author:
label: Author
type: users
tags:
label: Tags
type: tags
toggle:
label: Show this on the frontpage
type: toggle
icon: globe
order:
type: number
when:
toggle: true
cover:
type: files
headline: Cover
layout: cards
info: "{{ file.dimensions }}"
template: cover
multiple: false
images:
headline: Images
type: files
template: gallery
I have these two sections meta and images, but still it does not show all images. Am I doing it correct?
Yes, ok, that is a section now, but you filter what is shown with the gallery template. This will only show files with this template/blueprint. The template is added to the meta data file on file upload. If you add the files via the file system manually, the template will not be added and the files will therefore not show up unless you add the template manually.
