Can I create a custom field for an asset?

Vote 0 Votes

I'm trying to make it easy for my staff to watermark copyright information on photos on the site. I thought doing this with Custom Fields and ImageMagick would be a great way to go, but it appears I can only add custom fields to Entries, Pages, Categories, and Folders. Is that correct? Am I missing something?

Can I create a custom field for an asset?

Thanks.

  • Not at this point. You are going to need to file a feature request.

  • Question: Do you actually need a field for this? What's going into it?

    Copyright/watermarks are generally standard. Can't you just template this in? Or does every single image actually need different information?

  • Yes - I would really prefer a field like this. These are photos submitted and used (with approval) by a constantly changing list of people. I guess I'll experiment with adding a table to the database myself and throw together a form to manage it. Would have been nicer/easier to have it part of the MT dashboard, but not a big deal...

    Thanks for the info - Mike and Su!

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
