Allows to edit Media from CKEditor

Created on 13 January 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

When adding media to Ckeditor, there is no way to add a focal point.
Or to edit any fields from the media entities.
The editor is forced to go to media library to define the focal point or to edit some fields.

Proposed resolution

What about adding this contrib module.
Which allows to edit the media from CKEditor

    It seems possible to set focal point on a newly uploaded image, I was not able to replicate an issue with that. It's true that it's not possible to edit the focal point from the CKEditor widget.

    Thanks for the suggestion, we'll give it a look.

    This is a legitimate UX problem, but I'd be hesitant to introduce a solution only for CKEditor. It's also an issue with media fields and we'd need a separate solution for that.

    I would also say this particular pattern of opening existing media in a modal might give the impression you are editing it within this context, rather than editing the media item itself, which may be referenced in other places.

    100% @pameeela - we need to take all of that into consideration.
