Media Manager [BETA]

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS BETA, DO NOT USE ON PRODUCTION. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK ON GITHUB

The Media Manager is a MODX Extra replacing the default Media Browser with an enterprise-grade media management solution, an initiative by SEDA and Sterc.

Features

• Fully responsive
• Built on jQuery and Bootstrap for easier future development
• Fully database driven
• Virtual categories, instead of folders to allow a file to be in multiple categories
• Tag support
• Version control for your media
• Image editing features, including resizing and cropping
• Ability to publish/unpublish media with reference-checking
• Support for TinyMCE, TV's, ContentBlocks
• Metadata for images out of the box: id, version, filename, version, author, dimensions (original + cropped image size), category, tags)
• Unlimited additional metadata (like TV's for images!)
• MODX ACL for removing/archiving images

Migrating from the default media browser

A migration tool is not yet available. You will not lose your old images, but they also will not show up in the new media browser.

Installation

• Install the package through package management by uploading the latest version from the _packages folder.
• You have to enable the Media Manager per MediaSource. Go to the top-menu "Media" -> "Media Sources" -> "Create property": Name=mediamanagerSource, Type=Textfield, Value=1
• Now enable it per user by editing a user: "Manage" -> "Users" -> Edit a user -> "Settings" -> "Create new" and set the key and/or name to "media_sources_id" and set the value to the ID of the Media Source you just enabled.
