Media

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

The Media group is the working group for the Drupal 7 File entity module, Media module and all the various modules that extend Media. The Media group is a place for all interested parties to collaborate and discuss anything related to the Drupal Media "ecosystem".

Barcelona Media Sprint and File Entity in Drupal 8 Core

Yesterday http://drupal.org/node/1597730 was added as an initiative to get the majority of the File Entity (http://drupal.org/project/file_entity) module into Drupal 8 Core.

This is a large task and there is still a lot of work needed between now and the Drupal 8 feature Freeze on December 1st.

Use Case for Galleries

In Dave's Twin Cities Drupal Camp presentation he asked for sample uses. My biggest bugaboo is the concept of galleries. There are essentially two ways that I want to be able to create a gallery: event-based groups of images and collections of themed images uploaded at different times.

Successful Media Sprint in Gothenburg

We had a, in my opinion, very successful code sprint in Gothenburg last weekend and managed to make good progress on some important issues.

I have now posted a report from the sprint, you can find it at http://www.drupalmill.com/blog/tsvenson/2012/05/summary-media-sprint-apr...

DrupalCamp Twin Cities 2012 - Media Sprint

Start: 
2012-05-20 09:30 - 16:00 America/Chicago
Organizers: 
Event type: 
Sprint

There's a great event called DrupalCamp Twin Cities going on May 18-19, 2012 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Since the event is fairly close to me, I've signed up to present and also will be organizing a Media sprint on Sunday, May 20th (as well as during the camp of course!).

Agenda

We'll be focused on sprinting for three main goals:

  • Accessibility improvements to the Media module
  • Cleaning up and polishing file_entity for core (and SimpleTests)
  • Drupal core issues (converting file entity to an classed object, file usage system)
  • 1.0 release documentation

Sprint progress wiki

We will be using http://lullapad.com/pWGqMEzRKY to track the current issues we're working on and who is working on them.

Time & Location:

We'll start sprinting from 9:30 AM until 4 PM (what time is this in my time zone?). Food and snacks will be provided by our awesome hosts, The Nerdery!

The Nerdery
9555 James Ave S
Suite #245
Bloomington MN 55431
Map: http://g.co/maps/cuf8m

Please note that The Nerdery is NOT within walking distance of the University of Minnesota where the camp itself is being held. It's considerably off-campus. Ask around at the camp to hitch a ride – organizers will try to facilitate transportation. The Nerdery has not yet perfected teleporting but stay tuned.

Want to attend?

If you are interested in attending in person, please comment below! Please try to note how you think you want to contribute during the sprint (coding? documentation? patch testing? writing simpletests?).

Sorry for being non communicating lately

Hello everyone,

As I'm sure you've noticed, I have been quite off the radar since DrupalCon. This is due to that I had to take care of quite a bit of personal stuff when I got back that prevented me from being as active as I wanted. Most of that has now been sorted and I will again have more time and energy to work on Media stuff.

Still, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone involved, especially those of you I have made promises to regarding work I was going to do. Hopefully I will be able to catch up on that and more from now on.

Meta data on media

Hello

We are investigating media approaches for our migration to Drupal at Brighton & Hove City Council. We've run into some issues trying to combine existing meta-data on media with browsing and choosing media to insert in content. Can anyone help advising which combination of modules we need?

Need for global fields (alt & title for example) for files

We now have editable file types for the File Entity 2.x. Soon also it will be possible to add new file types in a similar manner as how we work with content types in Drupal.

This will make it possible to create tailored file types such as "Logo Types" and "Cars" which can contain different fields as well as both images and videos for example.

However, we also need a mechanism to out-of-the-box handle HTML attributes such as alt and title as explained in the http://groups.drupal.org/node/219619 wiki page.

Attributes (alt and title)

At this point in time, we are focusing on the alt and title attributes, with the mindset that we will be creating a framework that will work for other attributes.

  • Alt and Title attributes should be available on file upload.
