Thanks! Great to know that. It saves the chosen media Id. So if you go straight to the media item in the media section and changed the file, it will reflect when you go back to the page with the media picker.
I think it would be an amazing addition to add the media picker to the Tiny MCE RTE. I will look into how I'd do it. I'd imagine I would save it as locallink:xxxx in the source but render the URL in the editor.
But in short, the data type saves the chosen media id :-)
Awesome package Craig. Good job! You mentioned it yourself, it would be great if the RTE could handle this way of media selection too. But i've read somewhere on the forum that it is quite difficult to implement. Nevertheless from an end-user point of view it is more important that the RTE has capabilities for inserting media in an intuitive/overview way. So if you manage to implement that, you deserve a very big high five :)
Thanks! I've looked into it and its definitely possible. And i will do it, so watch this space very soon. I imagine it will function exactly the same except it would allow you to set the size and alt and render the img tag into the editor.
I would ask though. Do you think its okay to ask the developer to add a few lines to a javascript to enable this in tiny mce?
i think it is perfectly acceptable to ask that.. however, i think there may be packages with source available that would show you how to add the tinyMCE button... oh, but wait, you would just be replacing the current insert media...
either way, i would be willing to add the javascript chunk or update existing.
does this use a Media ID? or full url like regular media picker?
this package would be PERFECT if it used something similar to localink:xxxx so media could be overwirtten etc. while maintaning RTE links...
please let me know... thanks,
