The Media Code Sprint has been a great success thus far! We have built a fairly comprehensive test suite for hook_file. It still needs to be rounded out, so that, for instance, all the cases for file saving are covered. However, validation is fleshed out, and the framework is pretty much usable and ready for testing gurus to go in and run it through its courses.
Jonathan Hedstrom (jhedstrom) of OpenSourcery joined us this morning, and created the FileDirectoryTest class, finding and fixing some flaws in the current file api in the process. His help was invaluable. And we all quashed other minor bugs and problems in the documentation, so it's been a most successful sprint thus far.
Tomorrow should prove to be productive as well. It's my last day in Portland before heading back east to Pennsylvania, so I plan to make it a great one. Thanks to Advomatic for sending me out to the media code sprint! It's great to work with a company that recognizes the value of Open Source, and reinvests in the community.
Drewish and I will be taking a break in the early afternoon to present a remote session for DrupalCamp Colorado on Drupal Multimedia, where we plan to talk about the state of the art and our recommendations for Drupal 6, as well as a brief overview of the successes of the Media Code Sprint, and what that means for the future of Drupal. See you there!
very nice
We're considering using drupal for a new electrical business that we are starting here in New Zealand. This has helped cement my ideas about it. Thanks!
I'm having theming problems, could you explain how you themed yours? Mine is here - http://iommo.com/feature and it's really bare bones. Thanks for a great demonstration!
@Danny Concannon, you've never sat beside someone who knew nothing about the things you do, and watched them try to post something/anything on Drupal, have you?
I wish this was available for D6.
thank you so much for posting about this. Amazing mess of modules to do this but awesome recipe! Soooo glad that someone's taking advantage of the new file api in 7 and even in quickly playing with it this is going to make upgrading to D7 a must for us. Sooo much better media integration and sets up for better resource management similar to Apture's simple way of getting web 2.0 content sources into 1 area. Love the way your doing this, keep up the great work.
I may have to look into writing a plugin to suck data in from other sources like Vimeo, Picasa, Scribd.
