Feature "Request" (or just discussion) - Media Manager in New Editor

Has there been any internal discussion about implementing the Media Manager in Froala?

https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor/docs/concepts/media-manager https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor/docs/server-integrations/php-media-manager

Could an Admin Setting be used to override the default ImageLoadURL? For instance ... in case we wanted to use a common repository for website and TPSDB email images.

  imagesLoadURL: '/load_images.php'

We could not override the default imageLoadUrl since that is an API and we would have to rewrite the file upload routine to work with that. Amazon S3 uses something totally different from Rackspace and no one uses FTP anymore since it is so insecure. But regardless, suffice it to say, there is no standard way to upload to a CDN and each one would require their own API keys and security.

It is that it takes so much time to figure out how to separate different churches on the same CDN. Just not something that is very high on our list right now since it is a "nice to have" vs a "really need to have".

SUMMARY At this point I would like to just look at a custom admin setting that will specifically work with a Rackspace repository... (using API keys which would have to be added as admin settings)

FYI ... Information I received in response to a question to Froala regarding whether anyone else was working on this idea:

Hello,

I'm glad you got in touch with us regarding Froala Editor. I don't know any customer who might have tried that, however I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. There is a concept article about how to integrate the media manager:

If you give it a try, I would be curious to find out how it works.

Hope you have great day!

On 06 Aug 2015, at 01:05, : From: Heath Kouns I am curious if anyone has attempted to setup the Media Manager to interface (store/retrieve files) with a Rackspace cloud location (Rackfiles)? If not, do you know of any glaring issue that would prevent it from working? Thanks,
