I'm looking for a good image management tool, I will be working on an app which will be used for a lot of images. I want users to have the ability to create folders (albums), upload images, possibly resize images and even delete.
I have been searching google and the best I can find is Moxie manager, I found Responsive file manager too but the documentation states configuring the local upload folder which probably wont work for my use.
I want this app to maker use of S3 storage so the package is required to be configurable for use in this way, ie laravel supply the url of images.
Just looking for any recommendations really.
I haven't tried this myself, but seems highly recommended..
Perhaps it will fit your needs.
Edit: Also look at the alternatives list..
@SaeedPrez Thank you for the suggestion, I stumbled across this package a couple of days ago and its brilliant, I believe it would only supply a backend though.
My main objective is to find something that can provide a sleek front end user interface, who knows I would probably use this package in addition for the backend.
Edit* sorry I just saw the alternatives list, there is a media manager written in vue.js which may help. Thanks
Hi I just stumbled on this thread. You probably already have a solution but i'd still like to recommend this package:
https://github.com/UniSharp/laravel-filemanager
It's a basic filesystem type UI with some convenient settings to give specific users their own private directory to upload files to or just to manage public files on the backend.
The package offers easy integration with CKEditor and TinyMCE. It depends on Bootstrap and jQuery tough so if you're hoping to avoid that this might not be the package you seek.
Support for AWS and/or DropBox is supposed to be released as part of the 2.0 release soon. Until then it can be used to manage files in your public directory.
I find it very easy to set up and customise the look & feel for integration in a admin panel for example.
Please or to participate in this conversation.
