GettingStarted

Getting Started

Once you have installed the Asset Manager (see Installation), you can start using it immediately. Just create or edit a standard MODX page and you should see the "Assets" tab.

Uploading Assets

Asset Manager implements the Dropzone.js library to allow for a streamlined drag-and-drop interface for adding images and files to your pages. Drag and drop a file from your computer onto the dropzone labeled "Drop files here", or click the "Select Files" button to launch the traditional file-selection dialog box.

Once you have dropped the files (or selected them), upload begins. Once completed, the asset's thumbnail will appear. You can click any thumbnail to view or edit the asset's details.

Reordering Assets

To change the order of the assets, drag and drop them into the desired order and save the page.

Deleting Assets

To delete an asset, drag its thumbnail to the trash icon on the "Assets" tab. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion. This will delete the file from the filesystem and delete the corresponding record(s) from the database.
