Pictures and PDF Files

Add, replace or remove pictures and PDF files in your catalogue

4.1 Adding a picture

In the form of an entry, the picture field is a dashed box. Drag a photo into it, or tap the box and pick a file from your phone or computer.

JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP all work. miraCMS makes the file smaller for the web by itself, so you do not need to edit the photo beforehand.

4.2 Replacing or removing a picture

Once an entry has a picture, two buttons sit underneath:

“Replace image” picks a new photo in place of the current one
“Remove” takes the picture off this entry, the entry itself stays

4.3 PDF files

Catalogues of documents have a field for a PDF file. Drag the file into it or tap to choose one (“Drag a PDF here, or tap to choose one”). The file is stored on cdn.mirateq.com, and miraCMS makes a preview picture from its first page. You only need your own preview if you want a different cover: put it in the picture field.

Once a PDF is in place, there are three buttons:

Button	What it does
“Replace”	Upload a newer version. The entry keeps its place and its title, the website then links to the new file
“Remove”	Takes the PDF off this entry. The file itself stays online at its address
“Delete for good”	Deletes the file from the internet. miraCMS asks first (“Delete for good?”), you confirm with “Yes, delete”

“Delete for good” is meant for a file you uploaded by mistake, before you save the entry. As soon as a saved entry uses the file, this one included, miraCMS refuses: “The file is still used somewhere else in this project.” If a file that is already in use must disappear from the internet, write to us.
