Mark Media as Featured or Album Cover - Admin Upload

Hi,

I know we can use a yaml file to give metadata for an image file - I guess we can use this to mark an image as featured or to mark an image that should be a hero image for example.

Is there a way to include this in the ‘Page’ section on the admin interface (can I include a custom form with a couple of checkboxes for example?)

Thanks,

Chris

Adding media metadata handling is something we are doing for the admin pro plugin as part of a new media manager system.

Okay. In fact, I’m just playing with it today but I can’t really work out much with it. How can I loop through the media on a page and output the image with the correct alt tag, as defined in it’s meta.yaml file?

Also, when I turn on the Debugger, I get a JS error in the console - PhpDebugBar is not defined

Check out this Gallery Example to show you how to loop over media and associated metadata.

Regarding debugbar, not sure. It could be related to the theme you are running. if it doesn’t have the same kind of Assets setup as Antimatter and the majority of the other themes, it might not be able to load the required JS files.
