This week we'll cover two topics relating to media integration in Drupal 8/9:
Responsive Images + Cropping
In this presentation you will learn how to set up responsive image styles in Drupal using core modules (Media + Breakpoint + Responsive Image). There are two different ways to configure responsive images: we'll review both of them and when you would use each.
Another problem you might encounter is that the same image may need to be cropped differently for smaller and larger screens. Drupal has a solution for that too. We will look at how to set up Image Widget Crop module to apply different crop settings at different screen sizes.
Presenter: Megan McDermott, Senior Front-End Developer at Woolwich Web Works
Entity Browser
One of Drupal's great strengths is its ability to relate different kinds of content to each other (E.g. regions → countries → projects → articles ← experts, while adding images+video to everything). But your content editors will hate you unless you give them easy-to-use tools to make those connections. Entity Browser is one of the best options when there's lots of content involved. It's a versatile tool that can deal with media, and text; existing content, or new. We'll look at a few different examples and some of the subtle ways that you can tweak it to make the editorial experience better.
Presenter: Dave Hansen-Lange, Director, Technical Strategy at Advomatic
