I'd like to create an image bank folder in Plone
All photos are uploaded here by default (even from TinyMCE)
All photos are language neutral by default: can be set per type with LinguaPlone somehow? To be shared across languages.
Album view (easy)
The folder is in site root below /en, /de etc. language folders and browseable from TinyMCE (the latest beta)
What suggestion and experience you have from the set-up described above? The goal is to have fool-proof setup that
The site users always upload photos to the same folder
The site users always start browser "Add image" from the the same folder
To not fight against the framework I would try a synchronization between photos repositories of each languages.
/en/photos
/fr/photos
/xx/photos
If photos are uploaded under one of them, copy it to others as the translation of the created one.
It will be easier than playing outside of navigationroot, tinymce, ...
Just to do the follow up.
This problem has been now solved:

I am using TinyMCE for publishing articles in some journalistic and cultural portals.
As for the media (images, audio, video, documents), everything will have to be uploaded and managed internally, without using external links to services such as YouTube and TinyPIC, which I have no control over to ascertain the permanence of the media.
I was already using the images_upload_url option for images but I cannot find a similar option for all other media or a general option that works for all media types.
For some current sites I am using the external responsivefilemanager plugin but I was hoping that in future releases of TnyMCE an internal option similar to images_upload_url would be integrated.
Is this an option I can't find or has it not yet been integrated and responsivefilemanager still needs to be used?
I recently had the same question, turns out if you are using a paid plan for TinyMCE, you could use their TinyDrive plugin & a TinyCloud account.
This allows to upload images, files and medias, plus it better integrates with their tools (ie you have a nice UI to access uploaded files by your text editor)
It may answer your need! I give you the link to their documentation: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/6/tinydrive-introduction/. You have a nice example on this page, to try it :
Click on the Upload icon and upload your video
Click on Insert > Media > General
Click on the Upload icon and here is your video that you can add to your text content
Have a great day,
I have a form with an Upload file field on a Kentico 9 website. Form files are currently stored in the default folder (BizFormFiles). I would like to store those files in a place where I can easily manage and delete them on the CMS. Would it be possible to store them automatically in a media library folder?
Thanks!
No, as far as I'm aware. It can't be configured this way. The only way to make this manageable via CMS interface is to develop a custom module with a custom interface.
I have created a new media library in my instance and then I have used that folder path as the custom form files folder in the Settings.
The form files are then placed inside this library folder in a subfolder. And then, I can also see the file in the Media library UI - just with the yellow exclamation mark that the files was not "imported" into the Kentico DB.
The only downside I see here is multi-site environment. While the media library is assigned to a particular site, the form files from all sites will be stored in that media library folder.
is it possible to use different user_uploads by page tree in TYPO3 9+?
Informations:
Multiple companies are using the same TYPO3 instance for their websites.
Example #1:
An editor is placing images in a content element on a page of a page tree with drag'n'drop. Normally the files would be uploaded to the user_upload folder. If you have a huge amount of backend editors the user_upload folder will be a mass in a short time and nobody feels responsible for the files. I know that you can see if a file is used by its references in the info section but it would be much easier if a company would have its own user_upload directory (maybe subfolder of it).
Did anyone faced the same problem an has a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!
I think you should configure your user groups and their users in such a way that they use the correct storage. you can read about it here:
https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-tsconfig/master/en-us/UserTsconfig/Options.html#defaultuploadfolder

My Requirements
Implement MCImageManager so that users can upload images to a
"centralized" folder
Allow users to select an imagae on the centralized "ImageLibrary" and place it on a web page or blog post
IMPORTANT:
There's one challange that I need to find a solution for. Typically images are placed in a folder that exists in the website e.g. ~/Images or ~/Content/Images
The challange we have is that I will be having, however web pages will be displayed through separate websites. More specifically, in a typical scenario, a user would upload an image through MCIMageManager that places the file in a folder in the web application. So the image may be uploaded to a folder like D:\xyz\ImageLibrary.
However, the root folder may be F:\ on an entirely different server.
Therefore we need to come up with a way to share image folders between two websites so that regardless of where the image folder may be, the image will display correctly both on xyz web site management module AND the actual website.

For this use case you should mount the upload directory of server A to the upload directory of server B.
I am doing some updates to a site I have developed over the last few years. It has grown rather erratically (I tried to plan ahead, but with this site it has taken some odd turns).
Anyway, the site has a community blog ( blog.domain.com - used to be domainblog.com) ) and users with personal areas ( user1.domain.com, user2.domain.com, etc ).
The personal areas have standard page content that the user can use, or add snippets of text to partially customize. Now the owner wants the users to be able to create their own content.
Everything is done up to using a file browser.
I need a browser that will allow me to do the following:
the browser needs to be able to browse the common files at blog.domain.com/files and the user files at user_x.domain.com/files
the browser will also need to be able to differentiate between the two and generate the appropriate image url.
of course, the browser access to the user files will need to be dynamic and only show those files particular to the user (along with the common files)
I also need to be able to set a file size for images
the admin area is in a different directory than either the blog or the user subdomains.
general directory structure
--webdir--
|--client --
|--clientsite--
|--blog (blog.domain.com)
|--sites--
|--main site (domain.com)
|--admin (admin.domain.com)
|--users--
|--user1 (user1.domain.com)
|--user2 (user2.domain.com)
...etc.
I have tried several different browsers and using symlinks but the browsers don't seem to be able to follow them. I am also having trouble even setting them to use a directory that isn't the default.
what browser would you recommend? what would I need to customize to make it work.
TIA
ok, since I have not had any responses to this question, I guess I will have to do a work around and then see about writing a custom file browser down the road.
