Fix Media Manager to show all file type

[amuropao08]

I found that when you select file with select media field type you will not see anything except folders and images file type. Although you can success uploaded another file type (ex. PDF) in Media Manager menu and you can see file in there.

So I have modify some view in com_media(Media Manager) to show another file. And of course you can select file to get path too.

All you have to do is extract folder imagelist from attach file to replace in {Joomla Install Dir}\administrator\components\com_media\views\

Hope you like it

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for to fix a problem I was having!

Have you written any other fixes or plugins for Joomla?

Thanks again,
Nick

Hi,
thanks for this useful patch!

I found a problem: if I put a pdf or a flv file in the root directory (/images) i can see it with your patch.
But if I move that file in a subdirectory I can't see it.

Do you know how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Enryb

Hi,

you have to add the "$documents" to the if-clause in the template. Here is a fixed patch!

Many Thanks!

I just find an error in a file name:

default_document.php instead of default_documents.php (i got an error 500, i tried to rename files and now it works well).

Thank you very much!

Bye,

Finally! I was looking for a solution like this for DAYS now!

THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS PATCH!!!

[Edit]

I had an error 500 when first loading the media manager.
Solution was to rename the file «default_document.php» with «default_documents.php».

Also, the items in the list weren't floating, but I just got a loooong vertical list with all files located at the left side of the manager's view.

Solution: Open «default.php» and change line 13 from

Code: Select all

<div class="manager">

to

Code: Select all

<div class="manager thumbnails">
