Image / Asset Library

[swampmusic]

First up, a massive thanks to Ryan, the developers and community on this great CMS.

We have spent the last 4 weeks looking at the best option for a client and it looks like ProcessWire will be the choice. We ignored the top 3 (Drupal, Joomla, WordPress) but spent a lot of time with Grav, Hugo, Concrete5, October and PimCore before we arrived here. I am not saying some of these are not great as well, but sometimes the best CMS is the one that matches your needs the most.

I can't tell you how much of a pleasure it was to find your CMS and community

So, one of the things we have seen that our client likes a lot is how many other systems handle Image and Asset Library. They like to be able to upload many 1000's of images, PDF's that get used on many different Pages. Content Editors can quickly find images from a tree/directory/tag structure and Drag and Drop over onto their pages.

My question is anything like this on the roadmap ?

If not, then does anyone in the community have a pointers or ideas on best practise to implement this ( a module? ) or is it something ( a use case ) that does not sit well with the way Processwire wants to be architected?

Again, fantastic work folks, we are really enjoying Processwire and looking forward to looking at the ProDrafts & ProForms modules as well in a few weeks.

Welcome to ProcessWire and the forums @swampmusic,

You have two options. Media Library is a free module and Media Manager a commercial module (easily handles all sorts of media assets using a centralised approach; full disclaimer; I am the author of this module ).

Oh, I think you meant Ryan, not Rory .

Oof! that looks exactly like we need! Thanks.

Will be in touch soon.

Can either of the Media Managers be used to give members permission to create their own galleries?  Possibly choose which Roles are allocated how much disk space for their photos?

 

thanks,

Ray

Media Manager has a setting to allow users to only see the media they uploaded. It has no other finer controls (roles, etc).
