You can add external resources to MashZone NextGen to make them easily accessible in dashboards and data feeds.
Procedure
The location and file name fill in and a new set of fields open to upload another file.
The name of the file defaults to /file-name. If you accept the default, the URL to access this file becomes http://app-server:port/mashzone/files/file-name.
You can organize files into 'pseudo folders' by adding to the path, using / as the separator. For example, a file name of /images/reports.png has a URL of http://app-server:port/mashzone/files/images/reports.png and can be found in file search (along with any other files in the 'images folder') by searching for images as the file name.
You can also upload files that are normally loaded automatically, such as thumbnails. Simply specify the standard path.
The files are added to the MashZone NextGen Repository and are now available via a MashZone NextGen URL.
