Media and Files

Media handling in Evolution CMS should stay predictable for both editors and frontend code. The safest rule is simple: use the right storage point for each kind of media.

Typical Media Sources

• images inserted into the main content field by the editor
• files and images selected through TVs
• assets referenced by templates, chunks, snippets, or Blade views
• resource-attached galleries managed through extras

Useful Extras

• eFilemanager — manager-side file browsing and handling
• sGallery — attach images and videos to resources
• eTinyMCE — editor-side media insertion in rich text

Good Practice

• use TVs for structured media like hero image, document file, icon, or banner
• use a gallery extra when one resource needs several media items
• keep frontend assets and editor-uploaded media conceptually separate

Typical TV Output

<img src="[*hero_image*]" alt="[*pagetitle*]">
<a href="[*product_file*]" download>Download</a>
