    Creating a folder

    I had closed my other topic, before I realized I had another question.

    The previous question was "do I use Media for storing such things as background images?" The answer was to create a folder and put the images inside that folder and reference the folder from your css.

    My follow up question is:

    Do I create this folder under the Web Site or would it go under "Developer" or "Settings"?  

    Either way, I'm unsure of how to create a simple folder to put these images under.

    In case you want a folder for you static images you can create it manually (outside Umbraco, using e.g. a file explorer) where you think it would be appropriate. It could be in the website root (like /images) or whereever you find it appropriate.

    If you want to make subfolder in the media section you can do it as you add new media - but selecting "Folder" as the media type.

    For images etc. referenced by css (or just static images) we never use the media section. We just create a folder in the root of the site and places them in there.

    I was unsure if I could simply create a folder using the file system or if I had to use Umbraco to create the folder. Seeing as how I can simply create a folder, I'll just do that.

    Hi,

    I'm very new to Umbraco (but have been developing in PHP for many years). I've been asked to create a site as a subdomain of a site which has an existing Umbraco installation. I assumed I would be able to create a folder for the new site in Umbraco, but that doesn't seem possible, so I searched for create folder & found this thread. One answer says that I can create the folder outside of Umbraco, which I've done, but it still doesn't appear inside Umbraco. Can someone tell me how I can create a folder to build this site in? Under the create option I only have a number of items which relate to the content in the existing website.

    Thanks

    Hi Steve,

    If you want to create a new site under the content folder you should first create the document type (best start with a masterpage). there are some great video's on the umbraco site that show you how to do that.

    hope this helps.

    Go to the media section (bottom left) and ten right click on your media folder (top left) to create a new sub-folder called 'images'.
