Ive been testing otu a few media pickers for my umbraco site and ive ran into a few issues.
I have a property named Folder, and if i set this to be a "Media Picker" then all works fine, i can select a folder for my images. However, ive tried Yet another Media Picker, and on clicking "choose..." nothing happened, when i should have a box pop up, i checked in web dev toolbar and had the following error "popWin is not defined". I also tried Improved Media Picker, and again, i dont get the pop up, only an error, this time it says "top.OpenModel is not defined".
Can anyone shed some light on to what may be causing these errors?
Oh, I forgot to add.. Go to developers > datatypes > media picker and enable the checkboxes for "show preview" and "show advanced dialog" and you will be a happy man. :-)
Hey, thanks! Thats a lot better. Ideally i want to have a picker that allows users to upload media from the content tab, so they dont have to go back and forth uploading in one tab and selecting in another, but i can wait :)
You could use the "Upload" datatype, but that one doesn't add the file to the media section. nor does it extract height and width from the images you upload.
But now with the "advanced" checkbox on you can upload directly as well right? There should be an extra tab "Create new".

They're both not compatible with Umbraco 4.5.x are you using 4.0.x?
Ah, thats a bit dissapointing, im using 4.5.x.
Are there any other media pickers that allow the creation of media from within that are compatible with 4.5.x? Or do you think its worth reverting?
Thanks!

Ah, that advanced tab is even better! Can't believe i hadnt noticed that!
Is it possible to create folders from that advanced tab?
Thanks!
Unfortunately no, that's not possible.
is working on a reply...
