Vimeo Link Formatter module is a simple module that exposes a formatter for Link module fields to render values as an embedded Vimeo.com video player (or thumbnail) if it is a valid url for a Vimeo.com video page. Integrates with Imagecache External in order to use core image styles with the thumbnail formatter. If the URL of the link field is not a valid Vimeo.com video page, then the value is ignored and not rendered. Suggestions and patches are welcome for better ways to handle this.
This module was originally created as a quick fix for a Drupal 7 version of Media: Vimeo (media_vimeo), which depends on the Media, Media Internet Sources (part of the Media project), and Embedded Media Field modules. However, as it seems overkill to require sites to install 4 modules for this singular function, the module will continue to be actively maintained.
Which Module?
If you're already using the Media or Embedded Media Field modules and require vimeo video embedding, then you probably should go ahead and use the Media: Vimeo module.
The purpose of this old module is to archive/delete old nodes.
The original design of this was just for forums but seen how it could be used in other places.
