Media form field - Open media manager with specific settings

[Mind gem]

What I try to get is the media form field to open with:

- A user specific directory. It has subfolders in it which should be allowed to open. One shouldn't be able to navigate above the own directory

- Add a filter for directory files to disclude files starting with "thumb_"

- Remove the file upload and image url form the modal window

I was trying to create a layout override for the form field within com_media by adjusting the url from:

index.php?option=com_media&view=images&tmpl=component

to:

index.php?option=com_media&view=images&&layout=custom&tmpl=component

In my copy of the media form field layout (made custom field mediacustom and included that in my form.xml).

Any thoughts how to achieve the above with the build in Media Manager?

I've coded a system plugin, which ads a subfolder to Media manager parameter: image folder based on user name or group name.

So yes, it's possible.

There is new version of media manager in the working: https://github.com/joomla-projects/media-manager-improvement/, you may check if such features are built in but don't count on having it in Joomla GA release any time soon.

For the layout override I made a default (copy of the original one) in my template and made an if-statement on the assets that is provided in the media link. So that seems to work out the override and removing file upload options.

Leaves met with the filtering of thumb_ files and the user image folder.

@piotr -> Would you hint me what event you used for this?

I've used onAfterRoute event to trigger plugin as soon as possible but have access to media component parameters.

There are few choices for strategies to determine subfolder name (username, user id, accesslevel, domain, group_id), creating subfolder if it doesn't exists and just

$media_params = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_media');
$current = $media_params->get('image_path', 'images');
$folder = $current . '/' . $subfolder;
$media_params->set('image_path', $folder);

same for file_path

However I never run this in production, as project had to be put on hold.

I can send you whole plugin by email if you are interested.

Thanks.

Managed to override the com_media views by copying them to my templates folder. I added a if statement on the asset referring my component name to keep for other components the original default view

Managed to link the right directory using the suggestion of piotr_cz to use a system plugin. This allowed me to set the default basedir's and with make is user depended by using $user object

In custom fields we are doing it that way https://github.com/joomla-projects/custom-fields/pull/161/files. Perhaps it helps.
