Does anyone know how to create a new directory in Joomla?

I need the really basic instructions. Like - in admin control panel go to _________ and click on ___________ etc.

I know I should be able to do this, but for whatever reason, I just don't get it.

Thanks for your help!!

Hey alinewbie,

The only way that I know of to create a new directory in Joomla is through the media manager in Joomla administrator control panel. Here's the steps you need to follow:

Control panel --> Media manager button --> Type in the directory name you wish to create on the create directory field --> Click create button

Voila! you have a new directory.

To reference/link the file you've just created, you can either use an absolute path or relative path:

Absolute path: http://www.mydomain.com/images/ style="color: #0000FF">newfoldername/filename.ext


Relative path:
images/newfoldername/filename.ext

If you want to link to images you've uploaded to the media manager using Joomla's {mosimage} let me know. It's another way to link to an image without having to know the exact name of the image file you've uploaded.

Thank you for the assistance!
