Marco Zinn	Saturday 31 January 2004 11:47:39 am Hi Mark, The "Media Tab" can be used to store the media files (images, videos), that you use in your website. It is just a node in the content node tree (Node-ID 43, usually), which is placed at the same level as the "Root" content node, where you usually store your folders and articles etc (in "Content" Tab) The only real difference is, that the admin interface has a template, which will show you a thumbnail of images, which are inside the "Media" tab. Besides that, you can use the Media Tab just as the "content" Tab. Personally, i use this to store my images in the Media Tab, so i can get a preview and have them "out of the way" (not in the Content tab). Note, that the Media Tab has it's own section ("Media"). If you store images here, make sure, that your users can read objects from this section, too. Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com

Hi Mark,
The "Media Tab" can be used to store the media files (images, videos), that you use in your website.
It is just a node in the content node tree (Node-ID 43, usually), which is placed at the same level as the "Root" content node, where you usually store your folders and articles etc (in "Content" Tab)

The only real difference is, that the admin interface has a template, which will show you a thumbnail of images, which are inside the "Media" tab. Besides that, you can use the Media Tab just as the "content" Tab.

Personally, i use this to store my images in the Media Tab, so i can get a preview and have them "out of the way" (not in the Content tab).

Note, that the Media Tab has it's own section ("Media"). If you store images here, make sure, that your users can read objects from this section, too.
