Notes


Purpose of the Mod

To make the Admin Media Search page screen a bit more useful. In particular, it:

  • Makes these changes to the search:
    1. Draws a box around the search form (using a fieldset HTML tag) to help distinguish the search form from the action *# Allows the user to select media items with or without thumbnails.
    2. Changes the "File Ext" text field in the search form to a "File Type" drop-down list.
    3. Adds the following display options:
      • Display the file path,
      • Display Geocodes (which are always displayed in the pristine version, even though they are rarely present,
      • Display the MediaID and/or MediaKey, and
      • Define the number of Results Per Page (defaulting to the global site setting).
    4. Provides checkboxes to select a sort key among Description (which is the pristine setting), MediaID, MediaKey, and FilePath
  • Makes these changes to the search results listing (in addition to those implied by the search options listed above):
    1. Shortens the Geocode heading and data labels, in order to make the column narrower.
    2. Adds the filename extension (the FORM field from the database) to the "Title,Description" column of the search results table, if the File Path column is not displayed.
    3. Adds a Tree column when more than one tree is searched, like most other Admin programs.
    4. All of the Media links in the "Linked To" column are hyperlinks to the relevant objects.
    5. Adds a message when a thumbnail file is missing.
    6. Allows the "Linked To" column to wrap.

Compatibility With Other Mods

This mod is fully compatible with Unused Media, Private Media Mod, and Admin Media Predefined Search.

Related Mods

  • This mod saves data that can be used by the optional Show Mod Names utility mod, but it is not dependent on that mod.
  • Admin Media Predefined Search also adds some features to the Admin Media Search, but it is most useful for a particular situation; that is, when an admin needs to reassign Media Items to a different collection.
