What is Bassets?
Bassets (Better Assets) is a client-server solution for storing and managing of digital assets (pictures, videos etc.).
This distribution contains the Bassets client as an independent installation profile, although the client can be used in existing Drupal sites as well by installing the modules listed below.
The installation profile of the associated server can be found on the Bassets project page.
A 'Connection Wizard' simplifies the necessary steps for mutually introducing client and server. The number of clients has no technical limit. The authentication between client and server is based on OAuth. All systems involved therefore have to be able to connect to each other. The Features module sets several content types and establishes workflows.
Current Status of Asset Management
Currently Bassets can manage assets of the type "picture". Bassets automatically reads Exif- and IPTC-Metadata of the pictures uploaded, like: description, photographer, copyright notice, GPS data, date/time.
Bassets also provides calculated values like height/width, ratio, color space, orientation.
Additionally, caption text, keywords, categories and licence data can be maintained centrally. Centrally maintained meta data are provided to all connected clients. The editor can block picture use by clients and - if activated - push updated versions of pictures to the clients.
Integration of other assets like documents, video and audio files is planned for the future, see "TAKE PART AND DOWNLOAD".
