Allow edit Media items from Media Library modal dialog in CKEditor

Updated 28 January 2023, about 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

At now there are no ways to edit media, that was inserted into content, using Media Library CKEditor widget. So, if user, for example, want to change name of media item, or replace image to other - he have only long way via searching this media item in library on separate page manually, and edit it.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable Media Library module, and in CKEditor add Media Library button.
2. In node edit form upload and insert some document file (eg "Exomple one.pdf") in CKEditor via "Add Media from Library" button.
3. See, that file name is bad, then try to find way for edit this media to change name of this media - In "Edit media" modal window you will see only align and other widget settings, but not fields of current media.

Proposed resolution

Allow Media items to be edited from modal dialog in CKEditor.

  • Usability

    Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.

  • Needs usability review

    Used to alert the usability topic maintainer(s) that an issue significantly affects (or has the potential to affect) the usability of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. When adding this tag, make it easy to review the issue. Make sure the issue summary describes the problem and the proposed solution. Screenshots usually help a lot! To get sign-off on issues with the "Needs usability review" tag, post about them in the #ux channel on Drupal Slack, and/or attend a UX meeting to demo the patch and get direct feedback from designers/UX folks/product management on next steps. If an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the general "user experience" of Drupal, use Needs product manager review instead. See the scope of responsibilities for product managers.

  • Needs tests

    The change is currently missing an automated test that fails when run with the original code, and succeeds when the bug has been fixed.

  • Needs accessibility review

    Used to alert the accessibility topic maintainer(s) that an issue significantly affects (or has the potential to affect) the accessibility of Drupal, and their signoff is needed (see the governance policy draft for more information). Useful links: Drupal's accessibility standards, the Drupal Core accessibility gate.
