Simple Media Library Module for the ProcessWire CMS

MediaLibrary

Simple Media Library Module for the ProcessWire CMS

Status

Beta, very close to stable

Compatibility

This module is compatible with ProcessWire 3.0

Description

This module adds a MediaLibrary template with MediaImages and MediaFiles fields to ProcessWire.

Extends CKEditor's link and image pickers to allow quick selection of library pages. Only libraries under the edited page itself or one of its parents are available to keep things organized.

An overview of all configured libraries is available in the "Media" entry in the backend:

Permissions

This module installs the permission "media-library" which enables access to the media libraries overpage page ("Media" menu item) in the backend to non-superusers. Many thanks to inspeCTor for the idea.

Installs

By installing Media Library, the ProcessMediaLibraries (Media Library Overview) module that adds the "Media" menu item in the backend is installed along. So if you uninstall Media Library, make sure you also uninstall ProcessMediaLibrary.

medialibrary's Issues

Adding new media library

While adding new media library: I clicked "+ Add Library", entered title and hit Save. Since I didn't set MediaLibraryParent:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wire\core\PagesEditor.php on line 258
ProcessWire: ProcessMediaLibraries: Can't save page 0: /e-en-library/: It has no parent assigned

I would also expect that after adding the library, redirection to the /admin/media should be made?

Library hanna code

Fantastic module. Appreciate your efforts. Any chance for a hanna shortcode to display all images from one library?

This would enable multiple galleries on a single page.

referencing using image picker

If I wanted to be able to add an image picker field that is not located inside CKeditor how would I utilize this? I need to utilize a separate image field instead of using CKeditor for placement of my image.

Thanks in advance

Info notice

After new library is created, the message is displayed:

"Session: Creating media page šit named it under 1".

1. Instead of 1 (id) title should be used?
2. Notice page title "šit"? Page should be created with the name "sit", not "it" (replacing š with s, not removing it).

Removing folder/items

Hey there,

I've just installed the module and noticed I cannot removea folder. Would be nice to have. Also, is there a reason for showing the media in the pages list? I think it would be better if this was optional.
Nonetheless a nice module. I hope to see if progress.

Template restrictions not honored in admin page

When creating new libraries, setting for allowed parent templates and for allowed child templates on possible parent templates are not honored.
