Mephisto Style Asset Management for Frog CMS
December 23rd, 2008
One of the things I like about Mephisto is the asset management. Especially the way how you insert image URLs by dragging thumbnail from sidebar to content area. Frog CMS lacked easy way for inserting images (or any other files). Obvious thing to do was implement Mephisto style asset management as a plugin.
It is not one to one copy on how Mephisto does it. Instead of tagging assets you can categorize them by uploading to different folders. There is also extra pulldown to select which assets to show in sidebar while editing.
Plugin depends on Image Resize and jQuery plugins to work. Full installation instructions on project page.

I’ve tried your plugin, and love to use it, but I came across some difficulties. I build a ‘pro bono’ website for members of the Royal Concertgebouw orchestra (Amsterdam) in Frog CMS, and the management of images would be a snap with this little daemon. How could I contact you for some help/advise?

Hi Mika
really interested in using this plugin with the WOLF cms system but because the wolf plugins folder is by default in the wolf folder and not the admin, your plugin fails to work correctly.
I think it would be great if you could mention which lines are needed to be edited in which files to get this working. I have had a look and hacked at it a little but i can’t find the line that specifies where the Assets admin is located.
Also if you could mention which lines are involved in changing the assets folder so that the ‘public/images’ could be implemented as the assets home dir, that would be perfect.
Any help very gratefully received.
