Media Lister Lists images and files from across the site in a sortable and filterable table. For images you can choose between table, small thumbnails and large thumbnails view modes. The module retrieves the data using SQL queries so is able to efficiently list media information for all but the largest of sites. Possible use cases: Check that a nice variety of banner images is used for top-level pages. Find duplicate files/images by sorting by filesize or filename. Find images without descriptions if this is important for use in alt tags. Find large PDF files that would benefit from optimisation. Check for "inappropriate" images, or images that are not "on-brand". Images in small thumbnails view mode Files saved as a bookmark Controls Media type: Choose between Images and Files. View mode: When listing images you can choose between small thumbnails, large thumbnails and table view modes. When in one of the thumbnail view modes you can see information about the image in a tooltip by clicking the "i" icon, or edit the page containing the image by clicking the pencil icon. From pages matching: This field allows you to add filters to limit the pages that the media will be listed for. Add bookmark: Superusers can add bookmarks for the current settings that will be available from the flyout menu for all users. See the bookmarks section below for more information. Column visibility: Choose the columns that appear in the table and in the information tooltip (when in thumbnails mode). Search: Quickly filters the results to show only items that have the search text in any column, whether the column is visible or not. Custom search builder: For more advanced searches where you can combine conditions for specific columns with AND/OR logic. Pagination: You can navigate through the results and set the number of results per page. Reset: Click the "Reset" button at the top right to return to the default settings for Media Lister (or for the current bookmark if applicable). Editing the page that contains the media For any media result click the link in the "Page" column to open the page that contains the media item in Page Edit. When in thumbnail view mode you can click the pencil icon to achieve the same thing. The field that contains the media item will be focused. When a media item is contained within a Repeater field this is indicated by an asterisk at the start of the page title. When opening Page Edit for a media item within a Repeater field the Repeater item will be automatically expanded, including for nested Repeaters. Limitations for values that are merged in the database The module has limited support for multi-language values and custom fields for images/files. In order to be efficient enough to handle large sets of results the module retrieves raw values from the database, and in the case of multi-language values and custom field values ProcessWire stores these in JSON format in a single database column. The module improves the display of this JSON data by extracting the uploadName value into a separate column, substituting custom field labels for field IDs, adding language names where possible, and by transforming the data into a quasi-YAML format for better readability. Some limitation remain though – for example, if you use Page Reference fields in the custom fields then only the page IDs are displayed. Bookmarks Superusers are able to create a bookmark for the current Media Lister settings by expanding the "Add bookmark" field, entering a title for the bookmark, and clicking the "Add bookmark" button. Bookmarks will be visible to all users from the flyout menu. You can delete a bookmark from the module config screen. Module config In the module config screen you can define defaults for controls such as media type, view mode, pagination limit and column visibility. You can also delete bookmarks from the module config screen. https://github.com/Toutouwai/ProcessMediaLister https://processwire.com/modules/process-media-lister/

BETA: SplashAndGrab https://github.com/madebymats/InputfieldSplashAndGrab This module attaches a search input to selected image fields that lets you search and download images from Unsplash. (Unsplash is a stock photo service where you can download images for free and use as you wish. No strings attached.) You can search by string, colors, orientation/crop and order by relevance or time published I find Unsplash useful both for placeholder images when building sites but also as a time saver for editors if they don’t have any images at hand, just search, download and publish. Thanks to @apeisa for building the FlickrInputField Module and @Robin S for AddImageUrls, took a lot ideas and code from those modules.

Is there a way to change the input options for the images field? I am trying to figure out if it would make sense to use an external script like Zenphoto as a central media library/manager. How could I connect that with Processwire? 'Choose File' in the images field would have to be able to open that 3rd party media library or a directory on the server or some cloud service instead of (only) the client file manager. Could justb3a's field type module Image Extra be part of the solution? I will try that and report back. Other field types/modules? I know there is a pro module Media Manager that does look very slick, but would prefer to make this work with a mature, tested 3rd party script if a central media gallery is never going to be a core Processwire feature.

I have been plagued by this issue since day one. I cannot access or use any image I have uploaded. I can see them in the directory on the server and when I click on an image I can see a preview in the editor but as the video Video in my dropbox shows it doesn't provide me with a way to utilize those images. I can't see anything obvious. I did upgrade to 3.0.34 and have left the site pretty bare bones until this issue is resolved. Thanks in advance! processwire-images-bug.mp4

Hi, i'm quite new to processwire and have been getting on very well with it. I've noticed an issue when I upload an (exported from Photoshop) PNG with alpha via the image field. The original file was only 34kb, but after uploading its now 138kb? Can anyone help me figure out whats going on? I've searched Google and the forums, but could not find an answer. This doesn't seem to happen with JPEGS. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've discovered PW recently and I'm starting to get the hang of it. I'm used to build artist portfolios with the Indexhibit2 CMS and I was wondering if it would be possible to replicate one of its features in PW. In Indexhibit2 you can upload many media types (images, local and external videos, sounds, etc...) to a page and then reorder them if you want. I know that PW has a multiple image field. My question is, would it be possible to modify it to allow adding other media type items to it? Is there an exisiting module out there for this? Thanks in advance
