Additional help to indicate that the Media Filter must be enabled

I committed this, but also marking "needs work". This is our most common support request. What else can we do to ensure that peopel don't get bitten by it? should we just enable the filter on all input formats during install? Is that too invasive?

Yeah, I've long advocated that modules need "installer wizards" to go along with them for this kind of stuff... Hard to architect into the flow though. Do you think it's too invasive to just turn the filter on for everything except plain tesx? It won't really do any harm just being there I suppose.

I think something like this displayed after enabling the module would go a long way. Would that go in media_enable()? Happy to write a patch if you think its a good idea.

<?php
drupal_set_message('You must enable Convert Media tags to Markup on one of your input filters');
?>

I'm actually for enabling the feature by default. I'm sure some people will be against it but the general community will be thankful for media module taking the initiative.

+1 for enabling it by default. Just had this issue, and I consider myself fairly savvy in this world now. God help the novices.

There's a related issue (with a patch) at #1238772-8: Disable the 'Media browser' WYSIWYG button until it has been enabled for the text format. Would that patch be enough to close this one too?

Agreed, let's mark this as a duplicate.

Better status.
