Once again I have an assets extension. This one is not entirely
compatible with my previous extension, but you can, with a little work
switch it over. I will try to get an update script one of these days.
Paperclip is a new file management plugin from Thoughtbot which has a
few advantages over attachment_fu: it doesn't use RMagick, which uses
a lot of RAM and is a bit of overkill for just making thumbnails.
Instead it directly uses ImageMagick, making it much easier to
install. It also offers very flexible asset paths, and using this, I
have made the same file structure as attachment_fu. I have also
successfully adapted the db tables from the old extension without too
much trouble.
To install it, just run rake radiant:extensions:migrate, then run rake
radiant:extensions:paperclipped:update to install the javascripts,
images and css.
Once installed, you get a new Tab with the entire assets library, a
Bucket à la Mephisto (though only the concept is stolen) and a
search. You can also easily attach assets to any page and directly
upload them to a page.
I have quite a few tags, as well. The standards, including url, title,
caption, etc., but also an images:each tag, which will cycle through
each image associated with a page. This makes simple Lightbox or other
javascript based galleries very easy to set up.
The extension requires 0.6.7 because of the Haml and Shards support.
Trunk is better due to a slight (known and fixed) bug when running
extensions in dev mode.
Hosted on Git for your forking pleasure.
