First Look
Advanced Media Manager
Written by Nakul Ganesh S   

First Look !

After thinking for quite sometime,thats the best name I could come up with.I realy couldn't think of a single fancy name to what I'm doing.He He

To be honest ,I've been coding a lot of different things from quite some time.But I've never been organised with it.It has just been quite hapazard( a lot actually !),but I sure hope to change things from now on.Cause we all know that this is the BIG  scene.I've been thinking . .  and I've realised that it is really hard to put up all the work I do in a write up.So well,I'm going to put everything I do in a video.Pretty cool! Eh ?

I started my work,by first ripping apart the existing Media Manager.The way it has been  programmed ,never seizes to AMAZE me.But then everything in Joomla! is meant to be that way.

The first thing that I did is,implement a function , that makes a check and outputs the PHP GD INFO.This is most essential because most of what will follow will mainly depend upon this.I shall not elaborate upon how I did it.But maybe some other time.

Next,in line was one of the most important additions to the Media Manager,"Custom Image Generator".This took quite a while actually,but I have finally  (a lot of head scratching!) got it to work.It might look a little familiar to some of you .I'm going to demonstrate that in this video.

  1. It would be nice if you could move this video to some other provider, cause veoh blocked quite a big list of countries, so many people can't see it now.

    Thank You!
