lambdacms-media

This is an extension for LambdaCms which allows admins to manage media files.

NOTE: At this point the functionality provided by this extension is very basic. Pull request adding features are most welcome.

Installing

LambdaCms extensions come as plain Haskell packages and need to be added to the project's .cabal file like any other package dependency.

The following guide expects a newly initialized LambdaCms base application. When you have an existing base app this guide show still be easy to follow.

In the library section of your base application's .cabal file append the following line to build-depends:

                , lambdacms-media

The media extension's admin section needs to be mounted in the base app's router, therefor add the following line to your config/routes file:

/admin/media  MediaAdminSubR       MediaAdmin   getLambdaCmsMedia

To Application.hs add import LambdaCms.Media and the following line:

[...]
    let getLambdaCms = CoreAdmin
        getLambdaCmsMedia = MediaAdmin  -- add this line
        mkFoundation appConnPool = App {..}
[...]

The procede by including the migrateLambdaCmsMedia function to Application.hs as shown in this snippet:

[...]
    runLoggingT
        (runSqlPool (mapM_ runMigration [migrateAll, migrateLambdaCmsCore, migrateLambdaCmsMedia]) pool)
        (messageLoggerSource theFoundation appLogger)
[...]

To Foundation.hs also add import LambdaCms.Media and the following two lines:

[...]
    , getLambdaCms   :: CoreAdmin
    , getLambdaCmsMedia :: MediaAdmin  -- add this line
    }
[...]
    adminMenu = (defaultCoreAdminMenu CoreAdminR)
                ++ (defaultMediaAdminMenu MediaAdminR)  -- add this line
    renderLanguages _ = ["en", "nl"]
[...]

The last line hooks the media admin section into the admin menu.

Finally the following instance needs to be defined in Foundation.hs:

instance LambdaCmsMedia App where
  mediaR       = MediaAdminSubR
  staticDir y  = appStaticDir $ appSettings y
  staticRoot _ = "/static"

That's it! You can now cabal install the new dependency and run yesod devel to test drive the freshly installed extension.
