Media

The media subsystem in Shopware can be extended in several ways with plugins. This section contains guides for common media extension points.

Guides

• Prevent Deletion of Media Files Referenced in your Plugins: Prevent your plugin's media references from being deleted by media:delete-unused if they are not represented by foreign keys.
• Add Custom Media File Extension: Allow additional file extensions and map them to the correct media type.
• Remote Thumbnail Generation: Use externally generated thumbnails instead of local thumbnail generation.
