Hello,

I tried all possible integration of your plugin. Works well with media manager, also as a tab in tailor entry, but I don't see how it is integrated with richeditor.

I tried to add a richeditor item in a tailor entry, click image > open media library. Don't see the upgraded media finder with databank search.

Also tried to edit content in Editor > content > test.htm, no databanks.

Thank you

richeditor contains specific icon beside "insert image" ... search for icon with searchglass ;)

I activated the full richeditor toolbar, I don't see the icon with searchglass

Ah ok, I tried to see it in the editor (in cms / content, as richeditor in any model). It's not supported yet, that's why I couldn't see it.

Instead of integrate it module by module, don't you think it would be better / easier to maintain to provide it as a new froala button, like defined here ? https://imgur.com/a/Btsc0fG

October recently did it with the new pagefinder widget and the insertPageLink froala toolbar, it's probably possible to do the same as an external plugin

i tried that insertPageLink but it looks like not appears in frola, but creates a new tab with some kind of relation picker... then im not sure... but... as well... i dont have any richeditor inside editor/cms because it is a code editor

I think it a complete new icon with it's own behavior because if you put insertLink and insertPageLink in the froala editor, you can see both, each with it's own behavior.

But, after thinking more deeply about it, it would be not necessary to create a new icon in the froala toolbar. If you can integrate, as it's planned, the image databank with the media manager when opened in a popup, we could continue to use the standard froala icons

on railab.pages is used old legacy froala editor where is created a delegated button for this, but on new vue component i was not able to extend buttons. im not that familiar with vue at all

Instead of extending the button, can't you just extend the media finder itself ? Each time the media finder is loaded (normal, popup, etc...) we have the databank search in the top right corner ?

is not that simple ;) first of all, there are Media Library (whole media gallery) then, there are a Media finder (popup with media library component) and each of them uses different approach. one is likely extendable (what is done right now) and one is less extendable, because of lack of events to bind actions to. mediafinder wont fire any event like "initialized" or something then binding another events with check for domchanges will cause a mass lag...

This plugin seems to extend the media manager itself, can it be a source of inspiration ?

know this, but no. this wont work, because, this will override funcionality of media library with overwrite partials etc. then, each update of core will be painfull and will break funcionality or may cause that you never see new features of core media library itself. this is no such a good way how to extend something. and, of course, this is not for Oc.3

ok I see, shame that the media manager cannot be easily extended as the rest of the core. I probably know how it works more than me with all the great work you already did.

My main concern is that I'm think about a plugin that would allow to edit content on frontend (something like content editor), but with the ability to deal with media. In a perfect world, I would like to open the media manager on frontend to pick an image. If it can work with your module that allow to directly search with popular data banks + resize / crop etc... provided by the external plugin, it would be awesome

frontend editor, for example like froala toolbar or something like that, is a way too complicated, because of many differencies. for example, rainlab.pages plugin that creates file based content, rainlab.blog plugin, that stores posts in database, etc. etc. etc.

but i have an idea in my mind a long time... just... i need to focus currently on this

Wow, sounds awesome :))), so how did you find the solution ? You could "softly" extend the media manager ?

there is a lil bit pain in ass :D u know. but, as i mentoined on "About author" modal in plugin... "When someone tells me "no," it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them." ... :D then... regarding that... i found a lil bit tricky solution, but... yup, probably working...

Hello,

I updated the plugin, I now run the 2.x version but I don't see databank toolbar anymore (neither in media, nor popup). It's correctly enabled in backend and I integrated unsplash API, do I need to do something else ?

Best regards

check settings in backend, (general plugin settings) there was removed implementation checkboxes and replaced with only one new checkbox... probably there was hidden "gem"
