MW Image Manager for TinyMCE

Description

Why MW Image Manager?

The default Joomla media manager lacks advanced image insertion options. JCE is a full editor replacement that many site builders already know. MW Image Manager brings the best of JCE's image management to the standard TinyMCE editor, without replacing TinyMCE itself. You get a familiar split-panel interface (attributes + preview on top, file browser on the bottom) while keeping TinyMCE as your editor.

Free Features

• Upload & Browse — Drag-and-drop upload, grid view with thumbnails, search across all folders
• Image Editing — Resize, crop and rotate images directly in the dialog
• Folder Management — Create, rename, delete folders; copy and move files between them
• Rich Insert Options — Alt text, dimensions with proportional lock, alignment, margins with equalizer, border (width/style/color), CSS classes, ID, custom HTML attributes, captions via figcaption, rollover images
• Update Mode — Click an existing image in your content, open the manager, and all settings are pre-filled for editing
• Security — 12-layer hardening: path traversal jail, extension whitelist, null-byte rejection, MIME + magic-byte validation, EXIF stripping via GD re-encode, .htaccess deny, CSRF tokens, Joomla ACL checks, filename sanitization, symlink protection, upload count limit, strict Content-Type headers
