How Can I add existing public_html/images on to my article?

you can change the path to be anything (as we said above it is the parameter "Thumbnail folder")

- about the sub folder, this is used to separate the image uploaded for different items !
... so it is required and furthermore it allows

a. to maintain the uploaded name regardless if you have uploaded same file name for other item

b. separate file per item in disk too, thus easier to manage and locate , since you know the item ID and the field id

c. allows a little faster server response on very large sites, plus it is faster because it has no DB overhead to locate the files


... if you want to put files in same folder, creatge a image / image gallery field in DB-reusable mode (please read the popup description of the MODE parameter)

if you want to put files in same folder, creatge a image / image gallery field in DB-reusable mode

So with this setting, will I be able to change the default path to public_html/images for the original image?

I dont know how large the site will be in the future...

When you say "larger websites", how many items you are
talking about?

Since I am not sure what the site will be in the future, I may stick to file folder setting instead of the db mode.

What do you think?

Thank you.

I addded images via FTP to the particular item.

I have two fields.
1- image gallery
2- image gallery with multiple values allowed.

I can see the image when I click on select image for the first field (it is already uploaded via FTP and I can select the image to continue).

The second image field... Select image/new popup/

I cannot see anything there. Is this normal?

Hello

yes it is normal,

the images are isolated per item+field pair

thus there is a different folder per item_id+field_id
