Chapter 13. Media Manager
Using media in your site makes it much more engaging than just plain text. With Joomla, you can add images, audio, video, or even Adobe Flash to your web pages with just a few clicks.
In this chapter, weâll cover how to upload media, add it to your articles, and delete media.
The Media Manager
The Media Manager is a simple tool for not only managing your media files, but also incorporating them into the pages of your website. To open the Media Manager, go to SiteâMedia Manager to open the default Thumbnail View.
Figure 13-1. Media Manager Thumbnail View
The Media Manager displays images, folders, and other files inside the images directory. The folders on the left column are all subfolders within that directory and the plus symbol next to each expands the folder tree down further. Clicking on each of these folders displays their contents.
Note
The Media Manager doesnât manage images or other files that are used in your template. Those should be stored in the template folder. See Chapter 11 for more information on template media.
