saschaeggiWe're not using the sidebar only for the media entity creation, so this must be some custom config or patch.To clarify this: Media is using the sidebar but I can't reproduce that the sidebar would be missing.
Comment #3
smustgrave commentedThen can we :)
Comment #4
saschaeggiI still can't reproduce this, we'd need more steps or a video how to reproduce this
Comment #5
smustgrave commentedCurrently this is what we see when creating new media
But when we edit
Comment #6
jurgenhaasIt looks like there is a custom module in play. Out of core, there is no "View" tab for media, there is only "Edit" and that's the canonical route for media. If there is a module altering the routes so that there is one for viewing and one for editing, then the route name will be different and Gin can not recognize that route as a content entity form any longer.
Is that possible and if so, which module are you using for that?
Comment #7
smustgrave commentedJust the core media library setting.
Comment #8
jurgenhaasI'm not sure that's the case. I've tested in a fresh Drupal 11.1 installation and there is no view-tab on media entities.
Comment #9
jurgenhaasIs this something from the devel module? I see that this is enabled as well.
Comment #10
jurgenhaasFound it, there is a setting in
/admin/config/media/media-settingswhich allows enabling canonical pages for media. And that indeed changes the routing name for media entities.That's easy to fix, but I find that behaviour from core really strange.
