When I click on images and videos in my panel it takes me through to a page which displays this error. In answer to this, I created a folder called files inside the blueprints folder. Inside I placed a file called video.yml. Inside this I have declared these sections, this has not removed the error message, what is the correct information I need to include inside this file?

sections:
  HomeVideo:
  headline: Video
  type: files
  template: video
  limit: 20

Is that the complete file blueprint? Why do you set the section in there? A file blueprint can’t have a files section, please read the docs about file blueprints. There is also an example of a file blueprint in the Starterkit. I cannot possibly write a whole new set of docs in here :wink:

Hi, thanks for the help once again @texnixe. After looking at the documentation, I have realised I need to the uploads and templates in the page blueprint too. so I have added:

uploads:
  template: image

I have then duplicated the image.yml in the starter kit. This error is still there for me.

What is in your file blueprint now? Please post the complete blueprint.

Also, these templates are only assigned at upload, so won’t work for already uploaded files.

And maybe also post the page blueprint again.

Okay so this will be a case of reuploading the files… No problem. Here is the full blueprint.

# Each file blueprint must have a title, the title may be different from the file name
title: Image

# Like page blueprints, file blueprints can define a layout with tabs, columns, sections and fields
# File blueprints define what sort of information should get stored in a file's meta data file
# In addition to the fields defined in this example blueprint, you can also set what type of file is acceptable
# when this blueprint is used, which allows you to control what users can upload.

Not all your file fields have a template assigned. And if you don’t have a default file blueprint, then these files have no fields set up. See the docs.

HI I fixed it. I referred to the starter kit and I did not have the right way to present an image in my blueprint. This worked for me for image:

sections:
  HeroBackground:
    type: files
    layout: cards
    template: image
    info: "{{ file.dimensions }}"
    image:
      ratio: 5/4
      cover: true
    max: 1
    size: small
    headline: Hero Background Image
