Version 6 pre-stable
This version of Silverstripe CMS has not yet been given a stable release. See the release roadmap for more information. Go to documentation for the most recent stable version.

Files

File management and abstraction is provided by the silverstripe/assets. This provides the basis for the storage of all non-static files and resources usable by a Silverstripe CMS web application.

By default the File has these characteristics:

  • A default permission model based on folder hierarchy.
  • Versioning of files, including the ability to draft modifications to files and subsequently publish them.
  • Physical protection of both unpublished and secured files, allowing restricted access as needed.
  • An abstract storage based on the flysystem library, which can be substituted for any other backend.
  • Can be embedded into any HTML field via shortcodes.
