Frog CMS

Support to other assets than images. Configurable folders. Maybe one click upload etc.

This is a very good idea for a plugin. What I’d like to see is a master assets plugin that will allow other plugins to register with it, then whatever data is gathered by those other plugins can show up in this master assets sidebar. Perhaps each registering plugin can then be allocated a section, like an accordion fold.

The registering plugin would determine which data would show up.

For example, if we had a Calendar plugin, all the event infromation can be added via the tab and forms generated by the Calendar plugin. Because, this Calendar plugin registers with the master assets sidebar plugin, Calendar events will be available from this sidebar that can then be dragged into a page.

Basically all I’m looking to do drag is the id of the event into the page (a page Part). Then the layout takes care of the rest.

Events that have already been assigned to a page wouldn’t show up in the sidebar. The specific rules for what shows up can be determined by the Calendar plugin.

This would work for all kinds of data and can be a good way to have the flexibility of unique forms or custom content types (via plugins), while also keeping the power and order of the Page system.

What do you think?

Also it would be nice if the sidebar widget thing did not have to be stuffed into that tiny body tab…

You have old version of image_resize plugin.

Thanks, tuupola. I’ll try it again. Just wondering, is there an advantage to using DOCUMENT_ROOT over FROG_ROOT?

Just thought you should know, theres a small bug in frog/plugins/assets/views/index.php

<a href="<?php print $image?>"<img src="<?php print $thumbnail ?>" /></a>

Should be

<a href="<?php print $image?>"><img src="<?php print $thumbnail ?>" /></a>

Great work tuupola, I think this can be improved a lot though, I know its a very early beta but I’d like to see:

• a settings page to allow for any folder on the site to be chosen as the assets folder
• support for .doc, .pdf, .xls etc files would be a great
• a way to delete files
• multiiple file uploads
• categorization of files
• pagination of the images in the pages UI

Just a few ideas.

in case anybody wants to put it in the sidebar. this is the change in admin.css:

#installation #content-wrapper,
#body_setting_index #content-wrapper,
#body_page_index #content-wrapper,/*
#body_page_add #content-wrapper,
#body_page_edit #content-wrapper,*/
#body_snippet_add #content-wrapper,
#body_snippet_edit #content-wrapper,
#body_layout_add #content-wrapper,
#body_layout_edit #content-wrapper,
#body_user_add #content-wrapper,
#body_user_edit #content-wrapper,
#body_comment_edit #content-wrapper,
#body_plugin_index #content-wrapper {
  margin-right: 0;
  width: 98%;
}
#body_setting_index #sidebar-wrapper,
#body_page_index #sidebar-wrapper,/*
#body_page_add #sidebar-wrapper,
#body_page_edit #sidebar-wrapper,*/
#body_snippet_add #sidebar-wrapper,
#body_snippet_edit #sidebar-wrapper,
#body_layout_add #sidebar-wrapper,
#body_layout_edit #sidebar-wrapper,
#body_user_add #sidebar-wrapper,
#body_user_edit #sidebar-wrapper,
#body_comment_edit #sidebar-wrapper,
#body_plugin_index #sidebar-wrapper {
  display: none;
}

And in the Javascript file something like:

    /* Run only when editing a page. */
    if (jQuery('#page-1 textarea').size()) {
        jQuery('#sidebar')
