same issue here, applied the patch but still not working.

Ahh, sorry, I just updated it and it's working on media list (views), but not on node display with field image.I still see the old image. How to get the latest image?

I didn't get that format('Media Image') https://www.screencast.com/t/ZzfTIhINzbU . It's weird.

I have video embed only as media reference https://www.screencast.com/t/u6vaY3do . Media entity image is enabled already.

This patch basically does what Field formatter module is already dosing. Please check that.

Is there a way to use alt and title attributes from media image fields?

@keesje: "Field formatter with inline settings" does exactly that - it allows you to select a field on the referenced entity and display it using an arbitrary formatter. No need to create view modes.

Also updated the documentation link on Field formatter project page.

This looks like a bug in the formatter configuration form. Out of scope for this issue. We should move the debate in the other issue queue.

My general opinion is that if we can solve problems in a generalized way then we should definitely strive to do so. By doing that more people benefit from the work, we end up with less redundancy and higher possibility for more community contributions.

It is also worth considering that when/if media entity lands in core (hopefully 8.4) this module will become deprecated as it will be included too. Parts that won't be included will probably need to find a new home.

Agreed. https://github.com/drupal-media/d8-guide would be a great place to add that.

@keesje: I cannot see an option to determine alt + title by this formatter.

IMO a media entity image formatter is really helpful, if it enables me to choose values such as alt, title and caption from any plain text field of the media image entity.

Another (maybe better) way would be a media image formatter that prints out the media entity as rendered entity but overwrites / determines the image style.

Well there is a common use case:

I have a media entity image with the fields:

• image
• description
• creator

I want to output image with description as title and alt attribute and below the image as caption description and creator.

I think there is no way to do so right now, also not with field formatter.

In Dr7 there was a module such as "imagefield tokens" as a workaround. The media module in dr7 would create its own alt + title field on the image entity level.

Therefore there is a open conceptional issue how to output media image entities in dr8.

Or is there another way to accomplish this?

Thanks for notice. So there is the alternative to use views field formatter or custom formatters.

Confirmed this is working as expected in the following setup:

• Media Bundle with an image field
• Entity Reference field for the media field using the Media Image formatter:

One note is that the mapping of the fields does not happen on the formatter but rather what was already saved in the media bundle configuration.

Tested against 1.2 stable release. Patch applies via composer.

Tested against 1.2 stable release. Patch applies via composer and works great. Thank you.

Thank you for this patch. It seems to work fine but I am not getting an option for alt text when I select the "Media Image" field formatter. I've looked in several places and am just not seeing it. I've seen alt text as a default option for file entities but not media bundles. Has anyone found a solution for alt text to be added on upload via an entity browser?

Since media entity and media entity image is now in core, it might be an issue to implement this feature to the core module?

Hi @demonde. Good suggestion. I've created https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2924391. Any future convo can be had over there. This issue is resolved as far as I'm concerned. Thank you!

This solves my issue #31 exactly as I proposed:

https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/1291262#comment-12302748

This update adds one line to sort the names of the image formatters in the dropdown.

On the core screen the formatters are sorted this way. /admin/config/media/image-styles

Uploaded the wrong patch. Fixes #40.

So, there's now a way to get alt text for an image via Inline Entity Form, but the "Thumbnail" plugin of courses uses "Thumbnail" as the alt text. It is also not the appropriate plugin to use for "latest image." Has there been any progress on a Drupal 8 version of this, as mentioned in #37? I looked around and haven't seen anything, so I thought I'd start here.

I agree Field formatter with inline settings is the most universal solution and a custom solution should not be required.
Instead it should be used and filled with default settings.

Somehow the current "Preview" formatter which isn't being updated when the image is changed doen't make any sense to me.

For those who were wondering (like me) what changed between patch 5 and patch 41, I am attaching the interdiff here.

#40, the sort() function broke the keys of "$element['image_style']['#options']" and the usage of image style doesn't work.
I update the patch with the function asort() instead.

+1 for Field Formatter making it work.

I had the same problem with, I ended up creating new image formatter to solve the problem this is the module https://www.drupal.org/project/responsive_media_image, hope this helps.
