Tomorrow (January 27, 2009) we'll be continuing the Media Sprint 2009, at the Zivtech office in Philly. Our stated goals: document the heck out of the Media module, and get a new PHP Stream Wrapper ready for it. And afterwards, at 3:30 PM EST, we'll meet with the Drupal Dojo to teach interested folks how to write their own!
For more information, see Media Sprint Wiki at http://groups.drupal.org/node/18063, Documentation at http://drupal.org/node/356802, and Media Module at http://drupal.org/project/media. You can also view a Proof of Concept video at http://www.24b6.net/2009/01/09/media-sprint-prototyping.
The good folks at Zivtech (Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg and Jody Hamilton) have been plugging away at Embedded Media Field while I was away. It has bling now!
Check out their Drupal Video page. Click on a thumbnail, go ahead.
Thickbox!
Here's a screenshot, just in case you didn't do that yet:
It's in the latest dev version, so you should go grab that right now and spice up your site! (You'll need to have the Thickbox module installed as well.
Alex is promising a write-up tutorial soon, so watch out for it!
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.
