CDN settings control workspace-level configuration for public asset paths. The settings page includes placeholders for missing images and TTL policies for retention intent.

​
Permissions

Your organization role controls whether settings are editable. If settings are read-only and you need to change them, ask an organization owner or admin to update your role.

​
Placeholders

Placeholders are fallback images for missing public CDN objects. When a requested file exists, FiveMesh CDN serves the file normally. When the file does not exist, FiveMesh checks your placeholder patterns. If a pattern matches the requested path, the matching placeholder image is served instead. This is useful for inventory icons, shop images, job logos, vehicle thumbnails, default avatars and other image-heavy FiveM interfaces where a missing file would otherwise show as a broken image.
Placeholders do not create the missing file. Upload the real image when it is ready.

​
Add a placeholder

1

Open settings

In CDN, open the Settings tab.
2

Create a placeholder

In Placeholders, click Add placeholder.
3

Enter a pattern

Enter the path pattern that should use the fallback image, such as inventory/items/*.
4

Upload the fallback image

Choose the image FiveMesh should serve when a missing object matches the pattern.
5

Save the placeholder

Save the rule. New matching missing-file requests can now return the placeholder image.

​
Placeholder patterns

Use patterns that match your folder structure. Keep patterns narrow when different folders need different fallback images. A broad pattern can be useful, but it may make unrelated missing images use the same placeholder.
Use placeholders as a graceful fallback, not as a replacement for organizing and uploading the real assets.

​
Update or delete a placeholder

Use the actions in the Placeholders list to edit the pattern, replace the image or delete the rule. Deleting a placeholder rule stops future fallback responses for that pattern. It does not delete real CDN objects that were uploaded outside the placeholder rule.

​
Add a TTL policy

1

Open settings

In CDN, open the Settings tab.
2

Add a policy row

Enter a folder path such as phone, tablet, mugshot or uploads.
3

Choose the retention value

Set the value in hours or days. Values can range from 1 hour to 365 days.
4

Save policies

Click Save policies.

​
Path rules

  • Do not start a user-facing path segment with ..
  • Use clear folder names that match your scripts or media workflows.
  • Keep temporary media separate from long-lived assets when retention needs differ.
For temporary script media, start with a shorter path policy. Keep durable assets such as inventory icons in a separate path.

​
Destructive actions

The dashboard may show destructive actions as unavailable placeholders while cleanup automation is still being prepared.
