When I create a folder in PL and upload a document, where is it located on my server? I'm having a hard time finding it. Any help would be appreciated.

check your parent directory under /cms-assets/

It still not showing. I've gone into manage documents. Created a folder and uploaded a mp3 file. I've searched every folder in the directory and I still can't find it.

you can create a hyperlink on a page of yours to your file and publish it as a test, then hover over the link to see the directory (depending on the browser).
hope that helps.

Ok az. So I've taken your advice. I uploaded a file create a hyprelink but the location of the file is unknown to me. The location is below. I have no clear with this is. Is it stored on the PL servers?
http://s3.amazonaws.com/cms_assets/accounts/5cbd742f-c2d3-4095-a0a6-4151b3bb1d6e/site-23759/cms-assets/documents/

graphix, Once you publish the page, the files should be moved to your /cms-assets/ folder. Pagelime uses amazons s3 for storage, Uploaded files will go there until you publish.
Have tried publishing the page yet and then look at the hyperlink?
This article explains a little about the amazon server.

Ok this works fine if I link to the document and publish. How would I get the document passed over to my server once uploaded.
A client wants to change music on home page. My plan is the have client upload the song with name (example: song1.mp3) which will be loaded by the player.
I'm thinking Ill create a dummy page and create hyperlink to publish.
Any ideas AZ.

Hm... yeah, this is not going to work yet. I was working on a prototype that handles this, but here's the challenge:
1. We want Pagelime to ONLY touch your FTP as a result of you pressing a button in the site. It should not do it in the background while you're not using the app.
2. If we did #1 and uploaded to our server when you upload into the document library... you would sit there waiting a long time for the upload to finish. This is less than ideal.I think that the solution is to implement an FTP asset manager feature, and leverage your host for storing files. Our first version of the image gallery worked this way, but guess what... our users would accidentally delete the assets folder on their end... oops... all of a sudden it was Pagelime's fault for not storing all the files on our end :)
Hm hm... I can't think of an easy way to do this without inserting the hyperlink and publishing a page.

Like Emil said, It can be done, but would be better off performing this outside of pagelime.
You could setup another administration page dealing with just music for the client, then use php to upload the music to the folder and use a web player to grab the files based on the folder. There are several free players you could make this work with. The biggest issue i see, is having the client go through another login to be able to edit/add music files.Posted 7 months ago #
