TCS allows uploading documents, forms, music, and other files to your account via our special file hosting system. This guide is not for uploading pictures and videos, please see our video hosting guide and our picture hosting guide for more information on uploading those types of files.

Full documentation of Joomla! is available in your site's backend. Click here for instructions on how to access it.

Create Your Account

The first step to uploading files is to create an account on our file hosting system. This is separate from your Joomla and Gallery accounts, but you are welcome to use the same username and password. (If you already have an account, skip to the next step, "Login")

To create your account, first go to http://files.trumpcardservices.net/account.php?action=register. Please be sure to use the same email address that you use to correspond with TCS, as we will be verifying your account this way. Once you have registered, TCS will review and confirm your registration within 48 hours. (If you haven't received a confirmation email after 48 hours, contact our support department)

Once you have received your activation email, proceed to the next step.

Logging In

You can login two ways: By going to our homepage at trumpcardservices.net and logging in under "Client Login" or by going to files.trumpcardservices.net and clicking "Login".

The rest of the process can optionally be explained via a video tutorial, or you can continue with the text version. Click here to skip to video.

Upload Your Files

Once you have logged in, click "Upload" at the top of the page.

Once you have reached the upload page, click the "Choose File" button and select the file you want to upload. Once you have selected all the files you want to upload, click the blue "Upload files" button near the bottom of the page, and...wait! Your files are being uploaded. Please be patient, as this process can take anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 minutes, depending on how large your files are.

Adding Files to Your Site

Once your file has been uploaded, you will be taken to a page with linking code. Click the "URLs" link, and copy the URL that is generated in the box below. (If you have uploaded multiple files, only copy one at a time)

Now go to the administrator section of Joomla and create an article, or open an existing article. (Note: In order to make files appear under the appropriate sections of your website, please select the correct Section and Category when creating your article.) Highlight the text you want to link to the file and click the "Insert/Edit Link" button on the editor.

This will open up a small window. Paste the URL you copied earlier into the "Link URL" box, and then click the "Insert" button near the bottom of the window.

Save your article and you're done! Important: Always click "Save", "Close", or "Cancel" when editing or creating an article or event within Joomla! Never close out of a window or logout without first saving or closing an article within the Joomla interface!
