Deprecated - Media and document management

Helo

Me and my college Mick are investigating possibility for using drupal as Chanel creation software with intention of showing it to people during video podcasting workshops at retranssmision conference in london ( http://retransmission.org.uk/ ). As content aggregator we are going to use Democracy Player ( http://www.getdemocracy.com/ )

Why:
- because broadcast machine (video cms from creators of democracy player) is going to change in a while:
https://develop.participatoryculture.org/projects/democracy/wiki/Revenge...
- because now broadcast machine is buggy, for example:
http://forum.getdemocracy.com/viewtopic.php?id=377
- because there is no simple way of showing videos in browser in broadcast machine.

Pluses of drupal:
- all the common +++ of drupal ;)
- we (mick+me+folks at retransmision) know it.
- cvs version will have a installer (custom modules in "distribution" of drupal)
- the chanellguide runs drupal: https://channelguide.participatoryculture.org/

Minuses of drupal:
- need do mysql database (that is small problem but bm runs after plain ftp upload)
- cvs is cvs
- video module don't put "media:thumbnail" in feed and is "strange"

2 ways to do that:
- just use video module and kick it to send media:thumbnail from thumbnails attached via image module or:

I have created a new node type called video with cck, then i used contemplate to create a seperate teaser.
See here: http://danieljwilcox.com/
( I shot and edited the video )

The teaser shows an image preview of the video ( using the image field )
The full page view shows the video which is embedded in the page using the apple quicktime javascript library, so it works with internet explorer

I hard coded the link to the javascript in the theme, couldnt work out how to use the drupal add js ( is that right )

Heres how the create content form is created

1- Teaser

Title ( title of the video )
Image field ( preview of video )
text field ( short description )

2 - Video page

Url field ( for the video, using contemplate i wrapped the link print $field_video_url['value']['link'] inside the javascript, so you just have to add a link to the video and the javascipt embeds it in the page )

What i need to work out is how to make the image into a link to the video page.
I have tried this print $path ">image code goes in here around the image code - this only works if you are logged in and looking at the video on the front page, if you arent logged in the path isnt render in the html.

I guess i need a read more link wrapped round the image.

The images doesnt show up in the rss, i think thats because the link is relative to the drupal base and not an absolute link. Would be good to add the javascipt properly instead of hardcoding it into the head tags of the theme

At drupalcon i was talking to driesk about a cms i've written. The only purpose is to communicate content to flash because a lot of CMS systems lack the possiblity to create flash websites. dries told me that it would be nice to create such a module for Drupal. Because the last few weeks, a had to work a lot with drupal, i like it more and more. Because of that i am thinking of creating a module that provides drupalcontent to flash with a easy to use interface so you won't to a lot of actionscripting if you want to use the content.

Hi,

I have a drupal site at www.nyclightwave.com

If you check the gallery2 link on the side menu, I have the Menalto gallery2 plugin
running on the site.

The problem is if you click on a gallery image, it just kinda redisplays itself.

Not sure what the problem is.

drupal 4.7.3 updated.

Any ideas, thanks.

hello everybody ...

im trying to get acidfree galleries and filemanager to work on drupal 4.7.2.
the problem occurs when i start uploading an image file ... the result is a huge error listing:

* warning: fopen(private/filemanager.lck): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\xampp\htdocs\droopal\modules\filemanager\filemanager.module on line 760.
* warning: flock(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in D:\xampp\htdocs\droopal\modules\filemanager\filemanager.module on line 761.

I'm looking for a way to have all internal links to content list the last edit user/time and original author info as the tooltip. Ideally, if a custom tooltip (title) was added by someone, the edit/author info would be appended as a second line in the tooltip.

Something that could do this globally for all links on my site would be super, as long as I'm being totally idealistic about it. :)
