Squiz Matrix, Easy Edit Suite and Related Content

I have recently talked about using Drag-and-Drop functionality with MySource Matrix. The idea behind this method was to use the "Array of specific asset IDs" option in the "Dynamic Parameters" of an asset listing. The coma separated list of IDs can be stored in a text metadata field.

With the addition of Asset Finder in Easy Edit Suite 2, one of my colleagues Suren has implemented a plugin which uses Asset Finder to populate a text field with a coma separated list of related asset IDs.

I have now had a chance to develop this plugin further and here is what it looks like now:

• Asset Finder button (magnifying glass) to select an asset to include
• Representation of the text field with asset IDs in a graphic form
• Implementation of Drag and Drop functionality to alter the order
• Delete function to remove asset IDs from the list
• Manageable array of field IDs to inherit the functionality
• An option to display or hide the text field is available for each field
• Manageable list of allowed asset types
• Manageable error message to display if something goes wrong (mostly related to asset types)
• It also overrides and removes the annoying "Use default" option and therefore makes the field editable by default
