Flexibility and uses cases for the File API component:
Are you using it to build galleries? Have you built anything else with it or have any ideas for where it could be used?

After Recording:
There is always some good discussion happening after we stop recording so please try to attend live if possible so you donāt miss out and can add to the conversation 
Good Meeting folks. Some really juicy topics in there. Iām sorry I missed it. It was a busy week and I just didnāt see the reminder anywhere. I never subscribe to email lists but I feel like if I could get a notification in my inbox for this meeting I would subscribe.
So excited about the tag and category filters. I spend all too much time writing custom filters with liquid.
Re @Adam.Wilson site template. I want this %100. More than anything I want to see all the things you are doing. Every time you drop a code snipped Iām always impressed. Thanks for being so generous with that @Adam.Wilson
re tutorial videos for end users My basic bases that I cover:
ā¢ How to login to the admin interface of your website
ā¢ How to make basic text edits to webpages (nICE and WYSWYG)
When the nice editor is appropriate. How to navigate, add styling update links.
WYSIWYG: I go over all the tools and warn to avoid styling tools generally.
ā¢ How to update SEO title and description
ā¢ How to upload images/files
What is a module
ā¢ How update/add/edit modules
ā¢ How to update workflows to determine who will receive email notification
ā¢ How to add/edit admin users
There are more topics that Iāll go into for specific users, but Iāll cover at least these with most users.
re File API I have lots of sites that clients have lots of images of documents that they upload. I will definitely use this feature I just havenāt built one since this feature has been release. Iāve mostly been building pamphlet sites.
@Adam.Wilson re adding the mock ups to the site via file upload. This is exactly what we mostly do. Iād love to see your example of how youāre doing this.
re. Image filters. Thanks for the tip. Funny Iāve demoād this to clients and it didnāt twig that I could access all of those. Iāve just been using CSS filters, but this image processor probably more backwards compatible (I always need to use a JS fallback for older browsers). Thanks for the reminder 
re Blog. Weāre just using a custom module. Are there any advantages to using the blog module?
@Adam.Wilson I love your idea of having custom pages in the admin. 
Thatās fantastic. Letās get that in the backlog. It wouldnāt be a common use case for us. But the problems that it would solve would be big ones, that previously required replicated back end functionality in the front end. Come to think of it there would be lots of use cases. I could integrate training documentation right into the admin. That would be great.
re System emails. Is anybody doing any customization beyond styling on these? Iāve been pretty lazy with this actually and it tends to be the last thing I do and sometimes doesnāt get done beyond just making sure it works.
Thanks for your detailed response @Alex_B_Centrifuge.
Iāll look at getting my framework ready for distribution. Might be a little way off though considering all the other tasks needing attention
End-user Training Videos:
That all sounds great.
Any thoughts on the best way such a resource might be delivered?
Design Mockups with File API:
I might demo this at the next Treehouse meetup.
System Email:
I have a template I use for auto-responders and workflow notifications, but yeah, Iām pretty lazy with all the others. But definitely want to customise and standardise all these in my framework.
I hate building emails 
Just wrote up the āFront-end pages in the Adminā functionality for the backlog:
Front-end pages Loaded into Admin area (AKA Faux Admin Apps)
Adam, re: File API, when you get a momnet, can you please point me in the direction for the documentation on the File API?
So say we all.
Thanks @Adam.Wilson re other answers 
re Any thoughts on the best way such a resource might be delivered?
For a start I think it makes sense to have it on the onboarding page on the treehouse site. That is if itās of acceptable qualtity. It might be nice to have a getting started section on the forum with some pinned (is that possible ?) posts at the top. Maybe even in the docs? Just all the places somebody might go to look for help off the bat. I might even post it on the facebook page to see if it would help anybody make a decision about treepl.
@Alex_B_Centrifuge, as these are end-user training videos I was thinking theyād be best delivered in a none branded way and not associated with anything Treepl as such (especially for the white-labeled folk).
More like a playlist widget that a Partner could add to their own support page (or in the Admin if we had external admin pages).
I think thatās how the BC oneās were done werenāt they? or they where downloadable and installed on your own site in a playlist plugin?
Or I guess we could do both; display them in the Docs AND as a seperate, standalone āwidgetā.
Definitely like the idea of posting on Facebook to get some attention too.
@Adam.Wilson I think weāre talking about slightly different things. Iām talking about an onboarding video for treepl partners/front end devs to get a tour around treepl for familiarity purposes.
For white labled end-user/client training videos I agree that they should be provided in an unbranded fashion. A generic youtube/video playlist that could be embedded. Or a whitelabled site that just has client training material. I like your ideas of having the ability to embed them somehow in the admin as a plugin. I think weāre really getting into the customiziable/front end pages in the admin feature there. So it would be dependent on that being developed first.
Ah, yes ok. I was referring to end-user/client videos.
Partner intro videos would be a Treehouse onboarding thing for sure.
Although there will also be video walk-throughs in the Docs (which may well be the same or very similar things). Much like what Iāve already started here:
https://docs.treepl.co/documentation_group/getting-started/quick-start-videos
@A3CS, just pushed the File API documentation live (just for you 
):
https://docs.treepl.co/documentation_group/component-types/api-file-system
Thanks @Adam.Wilson!
Yes very much like that.
Just had a quick look at the URL Manager.
Not Extensive testing, just testing the basics, and it seems to do what I require.
I am able to set the Base URL of Custom Modules exactly as I want it:
Custom Module āItemsā URL work correctly as children:
I can make a Page Folder with content at both the ā/comicsā and ā/comics/marvelā URLs without it being blocked or appending a -1 suffix to the URL.
So yeah, Iām really, really happy about this. Its been preventing me migrating for over a year.
What were the bugs you were seeing Adam?
Perhaps any bugs have been fixed since Treehouse Meeting #10?
Hi @Reagan_Vautier. I think it must be the v4.10 rollout thatās just happened/ing that has fixed the bugs.
Basically, any customised URL for me where resulting in 404ās.
Aaah yes I see the same issue. The Custom Module Items detail pages are 404 - This is on 4.10 too 
https://greatsights.treepl.co/comics
https://greatsights.treepl.co/comics/marvel
https://greatsights.treepl.co/comics/marvel/deadpool
https://greatsights.treepl.co/comics/marvel/wolverine
Has this been brought to the devs attention?
Yes. I was advised the fix would come in the next release - but Iām assuming thatās the next scheduled release from the āIn Processā page (ie: eCommerce) https://treepl.co/cms-development
Which will probably be v5.0.
As you have pointed out, it all looks to look and works great from the admin side of things, but just doesnāt resolve on the front-end.
It should have been fixed now. Please check. Also, please note that we integrated new database for advanced URLās. When you enable āAdvanced URLā feature, this will transfer all of your existing URLās from old database to new advanced URL database. Therefore, if you decide to uncheck the āAdvanced URLā you may experience backward compatibility issues with URLās with a format that is not compatible with old URL manager (i.e multi-slug URL in module settings).
