Introduction

The "Content" plugin adds an option to the custom field to turn it into a simple input field without the additional accessibility input fields like alt description, etc. Another extra option is added to custom fields which restricted the custom field to specific media types.

It is also needed to integrate the restricted adapter functionality in forms. Please read the Concept of context aware media access docs article where it is explained more deeply how to glue the content plugin with the Restricted plugin.

Media types

It also adds an option to define the media types in a custom field. Like that is only media displayed in the custom field for the selected media type, for example when audio is selected, then are only mp3 files displayed and no images or videos. Currently are the following media types supported:

  • Images
  • Audio
  • Videos
  • Documents

These media types can be configured in the global media manager options.

Alt description suggestion

If enabled, then the filename of the selected image is used as alternative text value. It converts the underscores to spaces and removes the file extension. This should be used as starting point to define a proper alt attribute for the image. Do not just rely on the generated name, give it a meaningful description which properly describes the context of the image.
