Tutorial

We want to add an example image from our pc to brixxbox. Brixxbox allow users two ways to add a file: via drag and drop files from pc to attachments page, and via opening a file explorer then selecting a specific file. Lets now add our image.

As we can see from above snapshot that added image is visible in the drag and drop area(highlighted in black). Also if you search in the list of attachments, you can find the same image. The interesting fact to consider here is that when we upload the file only file name, upload time, and user is being set. The properties document type and id are left as it is. It gives user an option to select the document type by himself. Lets do this by selecting the file and then clicking edit button. An edit panel will open, now select the "bild" type as we have selected file of type image and click on update. In this easy tutorial we learned how to add a file in Brixxbox and assign a document type to it.
