Hey everyone Well, last week turned into this week, and 1.19.50 turned into 1.19.51. So apologies for the slight delay, but I do have a larger release and a special offer for you. Get an extra 20% off any plan using the discount code: wowmediahub11951 It's good for the first three signups only. What’s new in 1.19.51 YouTube and Vimeo as library assets YouTube and Vimeo in MediaHub fields and rich text Inline audio and video preview Preview covers for PDFs, audio, and documents German admin UI Front End Editing Resizable library sidebar and much more... Full details on the blog, short version below. https://www.peterknight.digital/blog/posts/mediahub-1-19-51-release/ YouTube and Vimeo as library assets Paste a YouTube or Vimeo URL into Import → By URL. MediaHub creates an embed asset without storing the video file. Provider thumbnails show in the library; optional custom covers are available when you want your own poster. YouTube and Vimeo in fields and rich text Pick embeds from the same library as images and PDFs. Insert into MediaHub fields or TinyMCE with alignment, max width, and playback options — including start-at. Optional image captions (figure/figcaption) are also available in the MediaHub image dialog. Inline audio and video preview On the asset detail page, play supported audio and video with native browser controls — handy for a quick check before you use the file. BTW that track Feuervogel is by our very own @Stefanowitsch and his band Dayfly’s Diary. Buy See the Light on Bandcamp. Preview covers PDFs and audio can get an automatic cover on import where the server supports it (first PDF page, embedded artwork). Or pick any library image or crop as a manual override. Covers show across the library, picker, and inputfield cards. German admin UI Bundled Deutsch translation for the full MediaHub interface. With Language Support and a de language installed, translations import on module refresh. Front End Editing (Beta) The MediaHub TinyMCE button works with ProcessWire’s PageFrontEdit. Image alignment survives save on the live site. Resizable library sidebar On desktop, drag the sidebar edge to widen or narrow collections/labels. The width is remembered for next time. That's it. Thanks for reading 🙂 Peter Full details, screenshots, and the full changelog: https://www.peterknight.digital/blog/posts/mediahub-1-19-51-release/ Downloads (licensed users): https://www.peterknight.digital/downloads/

A big thanks to @@Mikel for flagging some of the items which form 1.19.1. Uninstall (fixed) The safety check that requires you to opt-in via `$config->MediaHubUninstall` in `site/config.php` was firing a beat too late. By the time the error showed, companion modules and their pages were already partially torn down. 1.19.1 hoists that check into a `hookBefore('Modules::uninstall')` so nothing is touched if the flag is missing. Also tightened companion module cleanup, admin page deletion, and crop-field removal so the whole flow is now atomic: succeeds completely or aborts cleanly. Import (fixed) Importing existing images on a non-MediaHub site (Setup → Media Hub → Import Existing) wasn't generating thumbnails. Bonus: retina `srcset` (1x/2x) and lazy loading on inputfield thumbnails. Icons (aligned) The library and the MediaHub inputfield each have view-mode toggles (grid, proportional or masonry, detail or list), but 1.19.0 used slightly different icon sets between the two surfaces. 1.19.1 aligns them on the same Lucide set. Labels bug (fixed) The new Labels section in 1.19.0 shared structural class names with Collections. This meant Labels were incorrectly displayed on some Collections filters nd menus. Labels and Collections are now strictly separate row types throughout the sidebar. Full changelog 1.19.1 blog post 1.19.1 download

Hey everyone, MediaHub 1.19.0 is ready. That is good news for two reasons: you might find it useful, and you might be too distracted to wonder where 1.18 went. 🙂 Anywho, MH 1.19 has two main areas of improvement: the main MediaHub library screen (for editors) a new read API for galleries at scale (for developers). MediaHub Library changes A) Redesigned sidebar The sidebar has been redesigned and refined, with new shortcut filters at the top B) Favourites Mark any asset as a favourite (site-wide) and filter the library to favourites only. You can favourite from the asset detail page, the tile menu, or by dragging tiles onto Favourites in the sidebar. I am still debating Favourite/unfavourite vs star/unstar for the wording. Open to opinions there. C) Recent See your newest uploads and choose what “recent” means: last 24 hours, last 7 days, and other presets. More flexibility planned here soon. D) Filter breadcrumb type thing When you filter the library, a breadcrumb-style trail shows where you are (for example All Assets › Labels: Dublin). Clear a filter with one click instead of guessing how you narrowed the view. E) Labels If you use Labels for organisation, they are now a first-class shortcut in the sidebar, with counts per label. The section collapses when you do not need it. Drag assets onto a label row to assign in bulk; rename or delete from the row menu. F) Hover info on asset cards Hover over an asset to quickly see the title and filename without turning on Details view or opening the full asset page. This way, you get a really clean Library grid and still benefit from an in-betweeny view. G) Favourites (pt2) You can mark an asset as a favourite from the assets card/panel. Admittedly, 'unfavourite' is a little awkward-sounding. How does it read in German, Austrian, Bulgarian, Irish? I'll find out shortly. I might change this to star/unstar. MediaHub - drag and drop Another gap closed. You can drag and drop assets directly onto a MediaHub field. If you want to disable that function, you can do it on a field-by-field basis. You can also re-order assets as per the native input field. And if you're not a drag-and-drop fan, you can use the buttons instead. The MediaHub button will open your Library. Upload button opens your Finder. Uploads and drag-and-drop currently land new files in the root of the library in the background. I am planning more flexibility there soon. getRaw () API (beta) I'll be straight: I have not fully tested this myself on production sites yet, but I did run it through rigorous automated test scripts, and the performance benefits look promising. There is a more comprehensive write-up in the MediaHub docs. And I want to thank @David Karich for pushing this feature forward and flagging the original limitation in the first instance. Not strictly 1.19 related Search the docs The MediaHub documentation has a new search box in the sidebar Limitations and planned improvements Created a page with the known gaps in MediaHub. This is going to be a living (but rapidly shrinking) list as I move towards MediaHub 1.20.X.

Hey everyone, MediaHub v1.17.0 is now available and introduces Focus Point support, SVG uploads, Input Field UI enhancements, and improved KONKAT compatibility. Existing customers: visit your account downloads area. New to MediaHub?: visit my in-progress landing page Full changelog: https://www.peterknight.digital/docs/mediahub/v1/changelog/ Release blog post https://www.peterknight.digital/blog/posts/mediahub-1-17-release/ Happy to answer questions here, but in the meantime, here are some screenshots. Focus Point support and focus point aware cropping. In the crop editor, you can now set and change the Focus point target.... As you might expect, crop presets and auto-generated crops snap to the focus point... SVG support Also in 1.17, driven by a request from @Stefanowitsch: SVG support for logos, icons, and illustrations that need to scale cleanly. SVG uploads are off by default. Enable them under Modules → Configure → MediaHub in the new SVG Support section. When turned on, uploads require the native ProcessWire FileValidatorSvgSanitizer module. If the sanitiser isn’t installed, uploads are refused rather than letting an unsanitised file through. InputField UI polishes Detail view is meant to show more per card, but the layout felt cluttered. Detail-mode cards now use a cleaner layout with a Crop · Focus · Edit action strip and inline file metadata. More to come on that front. It's somewhat based on the native Input Field view, but with a few tweaks. Konkat Theme If you run the ProcessWire KONKAT light admin theme, 1.17 includes improved compatibility across MediaHub’s admin screens. The asset detail page gets a cleaner card layout, a Modified column in the Crops table, and usage-aware delete confirmations (not shown) IE MediaHub warns you before deleting an asset or crop that’s still referenced elsewhere. Next up, as promised, I am working on improved support for batch operations, such as bulk upload and getRaw() support for massive libraries. Thans for reading. If you like what you see, I hope you can make MediaHub part of your next ProcessWire project 🙂 P
