How are the intended way to manage background images in the template Faroe
I have installed the 7.2.1 version with the Faroe-template, where there are nice images as background. I can see the images are part of the solution, but they are not shown when i click on media on the administration site
I can add new images and add these on my pages, so that works fine.
I am just thinking if there is a reason for not showing the images in the administration?
And btw why are the images stored in folder /media/xxxx ?
I would try to answser the questions that you have about the Faroe starter kit, and why media files are stored in /Media folder.
First you can just play around with the Faroe starter kit and try to upload some images to the media section and then try to change and add new images to the pages. It should be possible and not breake something.
I don´t think there is a reason for not showing the images in the administration,I think this is a bug, and I know this already have been added to the isssue tracker by Jan Skovgaard, you can see the issue is raisedhere http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-5957 The Umbraco issue tracker is a place where you can report if you find a bug or if you have a feature request, then the HQ is aware that you have found an issue there. Here are some documentation about bug / feature request reports. http://our.umbraco.org/contribute/report-an-issue-or-request-a-feature
The final question about why images are stored in /media. It´s Umbraco´s way of donig it, so when you are created a images in the backoffice, something will be save in the database and the image will be placed into the media folder, as physical files on the disk where Umbraco will automatically create folders foreach image and give the folder a continuous id .
Hope this helps and answers your questions, if not keep asking,
I wasn't sure where to check if the defect in the Faroe-template was know, but nexy time I will start checking known issues.
I was just thinking about the reson to have a continous ID in the Media Folder, but now I noticed that each time I upload a file, there is created 3 files ie. 2 thumbnail-images, so the ID is just for that single image/file
I am trying to figure out what I need to move when deploying a Umbraco-site from test to production.
Normally we would only move the application from Test to Production, and then move the content from Production to Test, but as far as I can see there are C# code stored in the database, so changes here we would probably manually change in production after having tested the change in Test first.
This means that for images it will be uploaded in production, and then the Umbraco database and media-directory will be copied to the developer.
I am just having a litlle trouble figuring out the actual connection between the database and the id in the media folder.
I did upload a file and it was stored in /media/1053 but in the database I could only find an entry in the table UmbracoNodes with another ID (And the parent ID here was the Content where the image was placed), where the name of the Image was used. But perhaps you can link me a place where there are more information about the datamodel for Umbraco, I have found only a little looking thru the documentation
This is always a interesting thing with Umbraco nodes and media items in Umbraco are using IDs, and it could have different ids for your test environment and production environment. Therefor the HQ has made the product called Courier, which make you able to copy files from a test environment to a production environment.

If you find a issue yourself , or find a issue on the issue tracker that you find that you can solve, then you have the option to make a pull-.request into the core, Umbraco is open source and you can find the source code on GitHub https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS Try to see this article http://24days.in/umbraco/2014/your-first-pull-request/ from the last year Umbraco advent calendar written by Sebastiaan Janssen from the HQ about how to make your first pull-request and this blogpost from HQ about contribute with pull-requests. https://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2014/12/18/new-source-control-branching-structure

Hi Dennis
Thank you
I wasn't sure where to check if the defect in the Faroe-template was know, but nexy time I will start checking known issues.

Anyway keep up the nice work

Hi Thorvald,
This is always a interesting thing with Umbraco nodes and media items in Umbraco are using IDs, and it could have different ids for your test environment and production environment. Therefor the HQ has made the product called Courier, which make you able to copy files from a test environment to a production environment.
You can find more about Courier here: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/umbraco-courier-2 Courier is a pro product which means that you need to buy a license to use it on your production server. You can read more about it here: http://umbraco.com/help-and-support/customer-area/courier-2-support-and-download.aspx
Umbraco HQ is working on a product they a calling umbraco.com http://umbraco.com/future here is a blogpost about it http://www.patrickvankleef.com/2014/08/25/umbraco-as-a-service/, maybe there have been some changes since, but it can give you an idea on what Umbraco.com (former known as Umbraco as a service) is.
Hope this helps,
