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!

@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.
Amazing work, everyone. I'm really impressed by the progress you made on this. The media modules will be an amazing boost for Drupal 7, and as things progress a beta looks totally doable until D7 releases. Kudos to you!
I've never understood why WYSIWYG is supposed to be so appealing for media elements like this.
i try to list out the video using views modules but can't display the video
Wow! That's huge amount of spam!
BTW, is it possible to use Akismet with the Drupal and make it work correctly? I've heard that it causes problems with Drupal (and this is why development of the corresponding module was stopped)
All the best,
Dave
P.S.
While posting this comment I've passed Mollom CAPTCHA, but got "Your hashcash string is not valid. Are you a spammer?" error message.
I'm using akismet.
Quite works.
Thanks
about few issues:
Copy and paste doesn't always work... But do we really need it ?
Also when cufon converted text is made a link, IE7 allows to click on the letters only (whitespaces - like i.e. inside of O, 0 ets, or gaps between letters are unlinked. With thin fonts it makes it difficult really)
I am still working on workaround.
Copyright issue - majority of fonts have their free version - easy to overcome.
Other than that, it is great, and caters perfectly for all my needs. Even works ok with IE6..
I'd defo. reccomend it.
All depends what you need...but in my opinion it will be wordpress.
Joomla is very, very slow (did you check how many requests and queryes joomla needs? and it lacks with security).
I also tried drupal, and it's very nice, but i think wordpress is much powerfull (themes, ecommerce, site for personal usage, easy customisation, gallery, social network, blog? - wordpress beat them all!).
Only thing that is hard to implement is forum; but not impossible (smf, phpbb).
After some discussion here, at http://groups.drupal.org/node/35206 and on irc, I set up the Styles project to host this externally. Thanks for all the great suggestions! Most of them will find their way into the module.
By the way, some of the reasons for this is that I'm abstracting the architecture to be used for any type of field, not just File fields. For instance, one could create formatter styles for a node reference field that will format the display according to the referenced node type.
I am attempting to install media, are you recommending that I upload my media that I have copyrights to Youtube or can I upload and install it directly onto my page?

Your blog is really excellent...I really like it..!
That's a strong argument, Josh. Just the sort of mess I'd like to avoid. Thanks!
I guess it's fine to leave the supported schema/mimetypes hidden, as it's not a configurable option on the administrative side, but instead configurable from the API. We can revisit later if needed (or maybe have an 'advance options' section).
You should strongly consider keeping them separate.
Examples of modules that are better separated, but closely fit together to begin with:
- Token and Pathauto
- Panels and Ctools
- Fivestar and Voting API
Examples of modules that "did it all in one module"
- Ecommerce (Ubercart now owns the space as it is very pluggable)
- FAQ (actually pretty strong still, but cumbersome and would work better if it started its life as an API)
- Flexinode (not sure about this one, but I needed another "fail" module)
My argument goes back to a presentation Jeff Eaton made in Washington DC: Your module should be an API. What you are proposing (multiple formatters for ONE media filefield) is nothing short of awesome. Make the wrapper code that does this an API (call it multiple formatters api or something) and then use your API in your media module. Yes, you have a dependency for that functionality, but we're Drupal and we're used to that.
And then I can then make your multiple formatters api work for my new date widget. Otherwise, my date widget would have to depend on media module and "hack into the functions" to "re-use" the basic idea...

About this:
"YouTube styles will be applied to the following:
Streams: youtube://
File types: application/octet-stream"
Could you provide more examples of this? I'm wondering if this is relevant to users. In this YouTube example, it seems not, because the vertical tab already says "YouTube" and the part that says "application/octet-stream" is probably all Greek to the average user.
Unless there are good use cases that require this technical information, I'd say remove it :)
Your thoughts?
Awesome, thanks Maarten! A great idea; that'll definitely go into the mix.
So the idea is to have one style ("preset"), that can be used for any type of media?
Screenshot with vertical tabs looks pretty good. Have you considered displaying the selected options as tab descriptions?

Thanks.
hashcash and mollon together works great. You can also add some kind of mathematics or science question. As you know spammer are school dropout. this can also help you.
