No providers - breaking drupal and content

You'll need to post more info for us to help you, since the module works perfectly fine for me. Please check that you have some providers selected in your emfield settings and on the field settings.

I am having the same problem. It's not that none of the providers are selected, it's that there are no providers to select. i.e. the provider list is empty

In the "Providers Supported" fieldset it says:

Select which third party providers you wish to allow for this content type from the list below. If no checkboxes are checked, then all providers will be supported. When a user submits new content, the URL they enter will be matched to the provider, assuming that provider is allowed here.
Providers:

followed by nothing.

This was with 6.x-1.0 on a fairly clean install of drupal 6. When I upgraded from 6.x-1.0 to beta3, archive.org, and the UStream fields appeared. Then I tried re-installing embedded media field altogether, and the list became empty again. Not sure what's going on, perhaps the included providers aren't getting into the database? All the .inc files are there in the proper location.

On a clean install there are no providers available on the setting page

Wow I'm so dumb. The reason why no providers show up is because you have to enable them on the Administration>Content Management>Embedded Media Field configuration page. Just go to the Embedded Media Field tab and enable the providers you want to have availble.

i already check the youtube allowed checklist, but still i can't find the provider list.. anyonce can help ??

I am running Drupal 6.13 I installed Embedded Media Field 6.x-1.2 and enabled Embedded Video Field and Embedded Media Field

When I go to my configuration page /admin/content/emfield there is NO providers in the provider section for me to choose from

I can add the field to a CCK but I can not choose any providers on the field configuration page and therefore I can not add any links or URLs

Can any body help me out on figuring out how to make the providers appear??

I've never been able to recreate the issue. If you need to reopen, please list your complete server environment.

Sorry to reopen, but I've seen this on here several times and am having the same problem...it has to be a module conflict, but i can't figure out which one...i have a fairly clean install and may be able to disable one by one, but this is on the recently release 2.1 and I get "The following settings determine what providers are allowed, and what provider-specific options, if any, are set."
i tried the latest dev version and no change...attached a pic of that screen...

I have the same issue.

UPDATE:

I have found out that you need to install other modules, to install the providers you want.

See the list:

http://drupal.org/project/emfield

Same issue here.

Same here

6.x-2.1

Just FYI:

I upgraded to Feeds beta 7 as well.

I just went through the same problem, took me a little while to figure out what was up.
I realize #11 explains this as well, but seemed like a more verbose explanation would be helpful.

If you've used previous versions of emfield, you expect to visit a page like
example.com/admin/content/emfield/emvideo and see a massive list of providers to pick from.
The current version of this module takes a different, much more efficient approach.

Instead of writing a massive module with the capabilities to handle media from any variety of external providers, the 2.x version of the module is written so that you intentionally pick the providers you want it to support. Each provider has it's own separate module you need to install.
If you only want to support youtube you need to install the Media: Youtube module - which you can get here:
http://drupal.org/project/media_youtube

this is nuts. all my previous content from photobucket and imageshack are gone. The URLs are there but they aren't supported, and 6.x.2.1 only has a module for flickr.

The http://drupal.org/project/emfield page says 'The Embedded Image Field module currently supports Flickr, Imageshack, Picassa and Photobucket images' but I don't see any native support.

I can't remember which version I was using before upgrading to 6.x.2.1. Which version allowed this so I can revert to it immediately?

I tried refreshing data as recommended by the readme file but still no go. My site looks screwed up with nodes that do not show images unless its from flickr (the only supported 3rd party plugin). please help.

@ghmercado: photobucket & imageshack are currently supported with the Media: Image Flotsam placeholder module until someone gets around to porting those providers to their own modules. Terribly sorry about all the confusion regarding missing providers in the 6.x-2.x branch; this change has been long in the making.

this is just terrible. everything was working fine until i upgraded to 6.x.2.1. I've tried flotsam, but it doesn't seem to work and I'm pressed for time to a commitment that should've been delivered yesterday.

please would you know what the previous module version was? I gotta revert to that thanks.

FWIW maybe it would be worth adding a note to the "Embedded Media Field configuration" page and Input Filter configuration page that you'll need to download and install additional modules for the various video providers.

I agree with Ken in #18. I struggled with this at first as well as I expected the providers to be included so that I just would need to select which ones should be allowed (as it was in previous versions). The project page is not clear right now: at the top it says that additional modules are needed for the engine. However, at the bottom it says "The Embedded Video Field module already supports [...]".

I suggest to write it as step by step:
1) Install embedded media field as the engine (without any providers)
2) Download and install provider files you need + how to install correctly

"How to install" seems important to me as I was not clear if I need to install the provider files as modules or if I just need to copy the provider.inc file, e.g. from the module I downloaded at "media_youtube/providers/emfield" into the emfield folder at "emfield/contrib/emvideo/providers/youtube.inc"? Can you please clarify what the right way of doing this is?

I installed the provider as a module and indeed I could then select YouTube as a provider in the embedded video field. However, each time a page with an embedded video is opened, I now receive 4 error messages in the recent log entries reading "include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'sites/all/modules/emfield/contrib/emvideo/providers/youtube.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/includes/theme.inc on line 613". This kind of makes sense as the youtube.inc is not located within that folder ("sites/all/modules/emfield/contrib/emvideo/providers/"), but instead resides within the folder "sites/all/modules/media_youtube/providers/emvideo/". Does anybody else see the same error messages? Any idea how it can be fixed? If others have the same problem, we probably should list it as a separate issue in the queue.

No need to suggest- go ahead and write it, submit it here (or post to the handbook guide), and let us know.

Sure Alex, I just cannot edit http://drupal.org/project/emfield directly.

I attach a suggestion how it would in my opinion be clearer to users like myself. Please let me know what you think.

And: thanks for the great work on the module and putting your time in!

Jens

I edited the main emfield page, including some of the changes you recommended. The install text does not belong on the emfield page, but rather on the install instruction page: http://drupal.org/node/184346

You should be able to edit that page and make whatever changes you think would help.

Thanks so much, sefuntitled, for your clear explanation which solved my problem

Thanks this solved my issue.

first I have to say that this is a COOL module!
yet, after upgrading to 6.x-2.4:
I was surprised to find that i need to install additional modules to support providers.

but before I find that: when I was editing a page of a content type that includes emfield videos amongst many other fields (~20), i was loosing all content except title and body. In addition to that, my server was going to a spin. the loads would go to the sky, and I had to reboot the box many times!

after adding and enabling the providers that was gone...
however, i have to now find all different kinds of videos i have in a 15000 nodes set that included videos... :(

Is the option to use a Custom URL still available? I am not seeing where I can add this to the provider list. Appreciate the help!

When no providers are detected, it should show useful help text like:

"No providers detected. Emfield module recently broke off all providers previously bundled with emfield into separate submodules. In order to use this field you'll have to install one of the submodules listed here: http://drupal.org/project/emfield."

@glass.dimly: We get that message almost verbatim, if you go to the 'Status report'. Furthermore, it will be upgraded to an error message if there are missing providers from an upgrade. In both cases, you should get periodic administrative notifications from Drupal that there are problems with the configuration.

@danistil: You need to use http://drupal.org/project/media_video_flotsam for custom url.

@vpapadim: You should see a report of all missing provider files at admin/reports/status.

@everyone: Please don't hijack a closed thread; please open a new thread or search open issues for your problems in the future.
