Files
Upload and manage non-image files — PDFs, programmes, brochures, and other documents
The Files area holds non-image uploads that your site references — PDFs, programmes, brochures, audio, and any other file type you want visitors to download or your themes to reference.
Files sit alongside the Media library but work slightly differently. Media records (images) carry alt text, captions, focal points, and image-specific transformations. Files are simpler — they hold the file itself plus a small set of organising details.
What a file record contains
- The file itself — the upload.
- A filename — defaults to the upload's name; can be edited.
- Tags — labels you can apply to find related files later. Files share the same tag set as media.
Uploading a file
Drop a file into the Files area or use the upload option. Basker accepts a wide range of file types — PDFs, audio, archives, plain text, and others. Very large files can take a moment to upload; you'll see progress while they do.
Reusing files
Once uploaded, a file can be referenced from any block, page, or content record that supports a file link. Pick the file from the picker rather than uploading it again — Basker will reference the same underlying upload, so replacing the file in one place updates every reference.
Where files appear on the live site
A file's URL is what your theme uses to link to or embed it. Common uses:
- A "Download programme" link on an event page.
- A "Press kit" download in a press section.
- A linked PDF in a content block.
- An audio file embedded by a theme block that plays inline.
The exact rendering depends on the theme — your theme decides whether a file becomes a link, a download button, or an embedded player.
