Using image folders
Putting all your images in a seperate folder basically helps keep the site tidy. Also sometimes it helps to be able to easily isolate images from pages in case theres a problem.
- Generally you don't want more than 70 images in a standard plone folder. For more mages use a "large plone folder".
- If necesary, you can create subfolders in your image folder to hold many - for example if you have a /images subfolder then you can create /images/bobs_pics/ to hold more images.
- Or you could have an image folder in a subsection of a site like /poetry/images/...
Note: If you move images to an image folder there location will change from
/pic to /image_folder/pic. Therefore you would need to update the image links
It is less work not to move pictures but to start off with an image folder.
If you wish you can exclude an image folder from navigation:
Click on the properties tab just beside the edit tab . Then check the option "exclude from navigation"
In any case you can always keep the image folder private, and the end user will still be able to access the images as long as they are published.
