To publish a specific file or folder follow the steps:

• in the "Article Manager", select the article where you want to add the file/folder
• in the bottom of the editor, click on the RSFiles! button
• a new window opens that allows you to select the file/folder; RSFiles! will automatically add the corresponding file/folder placeholder.

To publish the whole content of your configured download folder follow the steps:

• in the "Article Manager", select the article where you want to add the entire download folder

• a new window opens that allows you to select a file/folder; RSFiles! will automatically add its corresponding file/folder placeholder:
{rsfiles path="images\flower.jpg"}
• leave the path blank so RSFiles! lists all files and folders:
{rsfiles path=""}

Customizing the files and folders listing

The manner in which the files and folders are being displayed using the System Plugin can be altered using template overrides. The files controlling these layouts can be found under the following path:

/components/com_rsfiles/views/rsfiles/tmpl/plugin.php

/components/com_rsfiles/views/rsfiles/tmpl/plugin_columns.php

/components/com_rsfiles/views/rsfiles/tmpl/plugin_table.php
