Adding Files Step 1

Similar to adding files to an article, there are two ways to add files to an article in the new version of our website. The old way was to click on the Edit Tab, then click on the [files] element on the Edit Article window. This is still true with the new version.

But…

The new way is much simpler and easier. Here are the steps:

1. Sign into our website and go to the article you want to add the image.
2. First thing to do is to “unpublished” the article. To achieve this, click on State: Published located at the far right of the light green row of the Viewtab. Choose Retract from the drop down menu. This will revert the article into Public Draft status which would allow you to edit the article.
   
3. Notice something different from the previous version? With the new version, you don’t need to click on the Edit tab to add elements to your article anymore.  The elements can be added directly to the View tab.
   
4. Click on Manage files to add a files. The same concept as the previous version, you can add files by either Upload files or Browse server files.
   
   1. Upload files – use this if files resides in your desktop storage.
   2. Browse server files – use this for files residing in our web site.
5. Click on Upload files  to open the Upload files window
   
6. Click on Browse button and locate the file to add to your article. Once you locate the file, click on the OK button. Plone will upload and attached the file to the article.
   
7. Once the file is uploaded, Plone will have the message "Element uploaded with success" on the Upload images window. Repeat Step 5 and 6 for other files
   
8. When you are done, click on the X button located at the top right of the Upload Fileswindow
9. The last thing to do is to click on the X button on the Article itself to save the added file(s) into the Article.
   
10. Congratulations! You have successfully added file(s) to an Article

Browse server files

The other way to add file(s) to the Article is by going through Browse server files. This is use if you want to add files located in our website. This is a more tedious task since you are trying to locate the file in the entire RCC site. The other drawback would be that if the file gets deleted by the department, then your file-link points to nowhere.

If the file is already online:

Instead of Adding a File, add it as a link. Our site has a link integrity checking which tells the owner of the file of the potential link breakage if they removed the file. They can then inform you that they are deleting the file so that you update your article.
