How does it work?
Basic Mediabox principle consists of 2 entities.
- Mediabox
- Mediabox Display
Mediabox serves as the core entity which holds up basic information about image, image itself and as much data fields as users wants to. Mediabox Display serves as an interface to Mediabox entity. Each time Mediabox entity is used, identical clone of Mediabox Display is created so each library image can be reused as many times as needed and each Mediabox Display becomes independent for each usage. This principle makes library ideal solution for news, and portal sites where reusing of images with slightly different data, but uniform access, is needed.
Mediabox is fork of xmedia originally developed (and continues to develop this fork) by e.vinclav.
