MediaHub 1.16.0 released

[Peter Knight]

Hey everyone

I'm pleased to report that MediaHub 1.16.0 has been released.

Here's a breakdown of the changes. The next release will optimise bulk upload and crops. I will also add integrated focus points cropping.

1.16.0 Changelog

Admin navigation

• Optional MediaHub link in the admin top bar. 
  A new module setting (Show MediaHub link in main navigation) adds Media Hub to the admin top bar.
   
• Custom label for the top-bar link. 
  When the top-nav option is on, a new Custom label field lets you override what appears in the top bar. Useful when the localised "Media Hub" string is verbose or when your team prefers a different term (Media, Assets, Library, DAM). Leave blank to keep the localised default. Setup → Media Hub label is unaffected.

Library and inputfield

• Drag-to-reorder thumbnails in MediaHub fields. 
  Just like the native InputField, you can reorder thumbnails to take advantage of first() and last() etc. Works across any view mode (grid, proportional, detail). 
• Master "select all visible" checkbox in the table view header. 
  Tick the column header to select every row currently rendered; untick to clear.
• "Add more" button now matches stock InputfieldFile 
  Font, colour, hover state, and icon spacing across AdminThemeUikit, Reno, and Default are more consistent

Bug fixes

• Library search now covers Alt/Description, Labels, and Collections. 
  Previously search only matched the asset title and filename. Searching by exact ID is also now reliable.
• Renamed filename and title in the upload queue are now applied on upload. 
  Editing the filename stem or title in the upload queue rows had no effect; the values were not transmitted to the server. Both fields are now picked up and saved with the new asset.
• Duplicating an asset preserves its Collections and Labels. 
  Cloned assets were losing the page-reference fields. Both are now copied explicitly to the new asset. The duplicate confirmation message also clarifies that crops are not copied (they can be re-generated on the duplicate).
• Cleaned up a stray PHP warning 
  in the library view left over from the v1.15.0 Tags → Labels rename.
• PHP 8.5 deprecation notice in the MediaHub inputfield 
  resolved (explicit nullable parameter typing).

Defensive changes

• Server-side upload batch limit now matches the configured browser-side limit. 
  Previously the server hard-capped to 50 files per request even if Maximum upload batch had been raised higher; both ends now read the same setting.
• Bulk-import requests are now capped at 500 selections per request. 
  Selecting thousands of existing site images at once was holding a single PHP request open for many minutes with no progress feedback and no resume path on failure. Larger jobs now surface a clear message asking you to import in batches.
• Upload temp-file cleanup window extended from 60 seconds to 5 minutes,
  to avoid deleting an in-flight temp file mid-write on slow connections.
• Container pages at the site root reinforced as hidden + system on upgrade,
  so the data-tree containers (Media Hub, Labels, Collections, Assets, Crops) cannot accidentally appear in front-end navigation.

Security

• Import-by-URL is now safer on shared and self-hosted servers. 
  Imports from external URLs are now hard-capped at 5 MB per file and refuse URLs that resolve to private or reserved IP ranges (mitigating server-side request forgery), and reject any non-HTTP(S) protocol on the initial request and on any redirect.

 

Cheers
