[Suggestion] media management for Grav 2.0 #1346

Open jimblue opened 6 years ago

jimblue commented 6 years ago

Hi @rhukster,

I know Grav 2.0 is on his way and you’re looking for nice features to add. I’ve just found a very a interesting media management system. It's working with php and js which is nice for Grav though:

showcase

What do you think about it?

rhukster commented 6 years ago

It's nice looking with good functionality but it uses MySQL database so that would not really 'jive' with Grav's functionality.

jimblue commented 6 years ago

Yahh indeed, but I though PHP and JS part of this could interest you.

jimblue commented 6 years ago

The frontend is impressive. It's easy to understand without documentation and gives a nice feeling of reactiveness.

Because Media management is IMO the biggest weakness of Grav Admin, that's why I though this open source project could interest you.

It could be nice to add some of the features such as metadata edition or file management (renaming, moving, deleting etc) don't you think?

jimblue commented 6 years ago

It's certainly possible to adapte the MySQL part to Grav flatfile system.

jimblue commented 6 years ago

Hey @rhukster !

I've been trying Statamic which is a flat files CMS using markdown, frontmatter and Laravel under the hood.

It's similar to Grav but Statamic also have a very interesting way to manage medias that looks like Lychee in simpler.

I'm sure the way it works (backend and frontend) could be inspiring to enhance Grav Admin media management. It's sharp and clean, nothing superficial.

We’re dedjnitely plannning on better media support so I’m sure it will be a bit of mix of various projects like these. If you find more leave links here for reference. Cheers.

jimblue commented 6 years ago

Sure if I found other interesting libraries or projects about media management I will. Here is the Statamic link BTW!

Hi @rhukster ! I've just found this Statamic video about media management. This would be much more efficient to handle media like this in Grav don't you think?

Yeah, @jimblue , Statamic is very impressive ! but expensive... I'm agree to you, i would like a medias gallery for Grav.

I'm trying to develop this functionality, come with me :)
