Renaming files and images
As with folders, you are able to rename files and images to make them more meaningful to the user. This is achieved by changing the Title of the item. Renaming alters the label that SilverStripe CMS uses to represent the item so that, for instance, any menus where the file is referred to will then display the new title. And, unlike changing the Name of an item, you are able to change the Title and it will not affect links to that file on your website.
- Click on the Files & Images icon
to display the Files & Images window - Locate the file or image that you want to rename, in the Files & Images pane (for more information, refer to Finding Files and Images)
- Click on the file name on the Files tab of the Folder contents pane
The details of the selected file will be displayed in the “Edit” dialog box… - Click on the Main tab to display the details of the file
- Click and drag across the text in the Title field in the Edit dialog box to select it
- Type the preferred Title
- Click on
to save the changes
The title of the file will now be changed…
