Media database

The Media Database can store and organize files. The database distinguish between images to be viewed on a webpage and documents for download. Both kind of files are organized in collections: files can be filtered by collections at the admin-backend; handy when dealing with a lot of images and documents.

The stored files are accessible from panes using Markdown or reStructuredText by using a special kind of markup. Refer to Panes for details.
