FAQs

Does Ansel support the Assets field type?

No, version 3.0 removed support for Assets. It only supports the native File Manager. The ExpressionEngine team has been working on an Assets to native File Manager migration tool, which will be released soon. For this reason, we've decided to end support for the Assets field and recommend using the migration tool when it becomes available. Assets, while being a great add-on, has become less important when building ExpressionEngine sites now that the native File Manager supports sub-folders, and remote (e.g. S3) file services. So in an effort to keep things moving forward, and to simplify the Ansel codebase, we've decided not to support Assets.

Does Ansel support Treasury?

No, version 3.0 removed support for Treasury, for much the same reason as removing support for Assets.

Does Ansel work in channel:form tags?

Ansel does not currently work in channel:form tags. As far as we can tell this is not an an issue with the new 3.0 version. The old 2.3.4 version also does not work in channel:form tags in ExpressionEngine 7.5.x. It appears something has changed in ExpressionEngine that affects Ansel's usage in channel:form tags but we have not found a fix.
