Deleting content items linked from media items doesn't display a warning

[TwoMoreThings]

We have added a MNTP picker as a property on image media items (so we can credit the providers of the images and also create a gallery page for each provider). Providers exist outside the home node, because they are shared elements.

When a media item is linked to a content item, there is no warning when you go to delete the content item.

Using Umbraco 7.7.11 and Nexu 1.4.1

Let me know if you need more detail.

Hi Tom,

At the moment it does not support linking from media items to content. I marked this as a feature for a future release

Hi Dave - this would be very useful to have. It is still something planned for a future release?

Hi Fiona,

I must admit this is not highest on my todo list. I don't think it is a very common setup to have a media item linking to content.

However I am happy to accept a PR for this.

I am also planning to start working on a version for V8. Maybe this scenario will be come a lot easier.

Thanks Dave - look forward to v8.

Question though - most narrative web pages contain images, so how do other set-ups link images to content? We link media to content so that the same image can be used on multiple pages (eg home page and narrative page); or as thumbnail and in a gallery. How do other people do this?

Hi Fiona,

Just to get this clear. You have to go in to the media section and go to a image. And then on the image select on which pages it is visible ?

Because most the sites I have seen work the other way around. On a content item you select which images are shown.

Yes you're right. :)
Go to content section, select images. We can also edit the image from the page it is displayed on.

Hi Fiona,

If the image is selected on a content item nexu should make the relation. And warn when deleting the image. I don't have the details of your website. But you can find the supported property editors here : https://github.com/dawoe/umbraco-nexu/blob/develop/docs/introduction.md#supported-property-editors

Maybe you are using a property editor not in this list ?
