Simple Media Library module for ProcessWire

Simple Media Library Module for the ProcessWire CMS


Beta, very close to stable


This module is compatible with ProcessWire 3.0


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:

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.

“Indeed, if ProcessWire can be considered as a CMS in its own right, it also offers all the advantages of a CMF (Content Management Framework). Unlike other solutions, the programmer is not forced to follow the proposed model and can integrate his/her ways of doing things.” —Guy Verville, Spiria Digital Inc.
