Previously, getting files into XLsuite was … to put it mildly… a pain in the ass.
We’ve fixed that.
There is now a UNZIP function. So you can send up a zip file full of all your graphics and simply unzip it all.
Now for the second part… or … the Z factor.
All the files are now available from the Z folder root. In otherwords if you upload
http://promarketingsystems.com/admin/assets/46974/download
then instead of having the full asset number encoding, which of course means that you also have to rewrite all your links when you move your page from dreamweaver into xlsuite’s CMS.
To fix that, we’ve made the files available at the “/z” folder level.
So the new URL for the above file would be
http://promarketingsystems.com/z/lee_graphics_10.jpg
So in your html editor, simply save all your files to a folder called z and use that as your root.
When you upload the files into the file manager and unpack the zip file, you’ll have all the same relevant links when you simple copy across your webpages. No more rewriting the links so they match our file manager.
Of course, at this point it only works for the images, video files and other media. You’ll still have to copy paste your code across for a while longer… we’ll get to that soon enough, along with some other treats to help you move (did someone say spider?) your site into our CMS.
