Module creates node with media field - no widget shown in edit form

I'm in the same boat. Would like to know how to do this. Maybe a list of the different display types and widget types might help too.

THanks!

Subscribe, my blog entry page now permanently displays the error Inactive fields are not shown unless their providing modules are enabled. The following fields are not enabled:media (field_media) field requires the media_generic widget provided by media module

I even uninstalled the media module, the error is still persisting.

got my issue solved by updating the `field_config` database table,
set 'module' to your field module if its wrong (for me image was somehow change to audiofield) and 'active' to 1

AgaPe could you tell in more detail how I could resolve this. Heads up, I'm not familiar with working directly in the DB.

Do you have access to phpmyadmin or sth like that? then its just clicking the right table, edit the right row

I have access to phpmyadmin, will give this a look

Should I just delete this row?

no no do not delete it :) at the begining of the line you have the edit button (a pencil or sth like that), click it and edit the field "active" from 0 to 1

Thanks, I made that one change and I got the following error when looking at the node's "Manage Fields" page.

Notice: Undefined index: module in _field_info_prepare_instance_widget() (line 385 of C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\modules\field\field.info.inc).
Notice: Undefined index: module in _field_info_prepare_instance_display() (line 353 of C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\modules\field\field.info.inc).
Notice: Undefined index: media in field_ui_field_overview_form() (line 355 of C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\modules\field_ui\field_ui.admin.inc).
Notice: Undefined index: in field_ui_field_overview_form() (line 361 of C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\modules\field_ui\field_ui.admin.inc).

I then thought maybe I should try re-enabling the media module before doing this. So I reset the value back to 0 and enabled the Media module.

Then the following error was spit out while the module was being enabled

FieldException: Attempt to create an instance of field file on bundle default that already has an instance of that field. in field_create_instance() (line 488 of C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\modules\field\field.crud.inc).

The media module looked to have been successfully enabled so I went back into PHPMyAdmin and changed the value back to 1.

Now I get no errors! Thanks for everything.

Good its solved. :)

I had the same problem, after downgrading and then upgrading the media module. The fix suggested above worked great for me too. Thanks.

Is this a dupe of
#970696: Disabling and re-enabling media module throws exceptions, leaves website in unusable state.?

Steps to reproduce on latest dev version?

but if I migrate 10 image to this field ('cardinality' => 10,) only first (first on array list) item is visible and 10 item go to media browser on dir
