Drupal 7 Media Modules (Media, Media Gallery, etc.) Grigory NAUMOVETS Kiev, Ukraine

Managed files in Drupal 7 ,[object Object],[object Object]

[Text] Content administration ,[object Object],[object Object],but how can we administer MEDIA???

Media module ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Installing Media module… Now we have: ,[object Object],New widget: Media File Selector Media Library

We also have… Content types »… » Manage display New display formatter: Media

File display format should be defined for the appropriate file type (“bundle”) – Image, Audio, Video, Other ,[object Object]

Configuring file display for each file type admin/config/media/file-types/manage/video/file-display File view modes – ‘Default’, ‘Link’, ‘Preview’, ‘Small’, ‘Large’, ‘Original’, etc.; you need to save settings separately for each mode Display precedence order is important – e.g. when you need to display videos from YouTube, ‘YouTube Video’ display should go before ‘MediaElement Video’ etc.

Media Library: now media content can be managed like node content ,[object Object],[object Object],new tab for Media administration

Media administration ,[object Object],We can choose LIST view or THUMBNAIL view

Media items in the list have their own URLs and can be viewed/edited like nodes ,[object Object],/media/45 view Media item

Viewing Media items like nodes /media/[fid] Media item URL [fid] is File ID from ‘file_managed’ table

So, Media module does not create a ‘Media Library’ table in the database ,[object Object],[object Object]

Editing Media items ‘ Title ’ and ‘ Description ’ of items in Media Library are DIFFERENT from ‘ Title ’ and ‘ Alternate text ’ properties of images in Image field and ‘ Description ’ property of files in File field They are NOT shown when displaying images or file attachments in the usual way Modules displaying media should be able to handle media titles and descriptions (e.g. Media Gallery)

Under the hood: Media title and description ,[object Object]

Adding files to Media Library via Upload ,[object Object]

Adding media from web ,[object Object],via media_vimeo.module via media_youtube.module ,[object Object]

Adding media from Remote URL ,[object Object],via remote_stream_wrapper.module

Importing files to Media Library from another directory ,[object Object]

Using media from Media Library in File/Image fields ,[object Object]

Media file selector widget ,[object Object]

However, some things are missing… With regular Image widget, we have “ Alternate text ” and “ Title ” that we can display near/over the image

What we see with the regular Image widget Image Title displayed in a lightbox view

With Media File selector widget ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],“ Alternate text ” and “ Title ” image properties are no longer available. WTF???

Referencing media from Library inline in textarea fields ,[object Object],File display modes (Configuration » Media » File types » Manage file display)

Media input filter should be enabled to convert media tags into markup ,[object Object],[object Object]

Removing media from a node ,[object Object]

Removing files from Media Library ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Media Gallery module ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

We can have images and videos in the same gallery Media Title displayed on hover These are videos

Images and videos can be displayed inline or in a pop-up colorbox ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

It’s easy to add, reorder, and edit media in the gallery Edit or Remove Reorder items by dragging the handle to a new position Add media with Media File selector

Editing gallery settings ,[object Object]

Displaying LOCAL video files (not from YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) ,[object Object],[object Object]

Configuring file display settings for Video admin/config/media/file-types/ manage/video/file-display

Media Gallery problems: Theme-dependent ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Media Gallery problems: Colorbox ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Media Gallery problems: Taxonomy ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

So, Media Gallery still needs some ,[object Object]

… more than you could expect from a module creating quite a lot of tables in the database

Problems with Media ,[object Object],[object Object]

Media Browser Plus module ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Media 7.x-2.x branch ,[object Object]

Media 7.x-2.x branch: core File field instead of Media field ,[object Object]
