Deleting Documents and Images

Deleting Documents and Images


You can upload files to your website via the Upload feature in Documents & Images.

The website will expect files to be named and sized a particular way depending on the type of file you are uploading, which is covered in the relevant sections below.


Identifying Images on your Website

If you want to identify where the image you wish to replace is:

  • In Google Chrome, Right click on an image and select Open Image in New Tab.

  • Information on the image will be shown, the URL will display the path to the image location in Documents & Images.

    • Note that when uploading an image, the name of the image must match the destination file name.

  • If Open Image in New Tab is not available, select View Background Image to show the image then right click the image and select Open Image in New Tab.

Product Documents

  • Choose the folder /documents/productpdf

  • Search for the desired document

  • Tick the box on the left side of the file name

  • Click Delete Selected


Slideshow Images and Links

Deleting Slideshow images is a two-step process. The first step requires modifying a text file named SlideshowLinks.txt which controls how many images will be displayed.

  • Go to Documents & Images – Simple Search.

  • Select /documents/slideshow or /documents/slideshow_fullwidth and click List All Files.

  • Locate SlideshowLinks.txt and click Download.

  • Open the file.

The first line in SlideshowLinks.txt must be slideURL.

  • Each subsequent line should have a hash (#) character to display an image, OR a link to a page your website.

  • In the below example, the first slideshow image will link to a page on the website, specifically http://standarddesign.straightsell.com.au/Living-Room/Lounge-Suites/pl.php.

  • The second and third images will display but not link anywhere as they have hashes, not a link.

  • Remove the line that corresponds to the image you were looking to delete. for instance if you were removing the 4th slide then you would remove the 5th line (since slideURL is not a slide)

  • Upload the modified SlideshowLinks.txt file into /documents/slideshow or /documents/slideshow_fullwidth

 

The second step is deleting your Slideshow image:

To delete the image, log in to the Straightsell CMS and navigate to:

  • Content Management > Documents & Images
