I'm trying to figure out how to use this module, but one of the database tables underneath MediaFront.org is crashed and throwing errors and some of the documentation doesn't load as a result.

This is very much a known issue. We are working hard to get the website back in shape. Most of my focus lately has been the architecture software and now that I am getting close to the 2.0 release, I will then focus on the website. Sorry for your trouble in the meantime.

Travis.

I appreciate that your time is constrained at the moment. Keep in mind, though, that better documentation leads to users (particularly new user like myself) better able to use your module and give you feedback about it.

I'll have plenty more questions. :-)

I was trying to find a way of contacting the people behind the site. Glad to see that it might be fixed sometime soon. This project looks like it could be very useful in the future!

So, I just rolled out a new mediafront.org website. It will take some time for the DNS to resolve, but once it does, please take a look and let me know what you think. It was built using Jekyll which will make it much more maintainable and stable. I will also be working to rewrite some detailed documentation on this site, but also this whole page can be forked on GitHub so that anybody can contribute to the website.

Let me know what you guys think.

Curious about your comment regarding the rebuild of your site using Jekyll, so I found this at https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll#readme

Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator. It takes a template directory (representing the raw form of a website), runs it through Textile or Markdown and Liquid converters, and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server.

Q. why did you choose Jekyll over Drupal?

That aside, I also have a Drupal 6 site that I want to install MediaFront on but all the available documentation seems to be about Drupal 7. There is a set of older videos at http://mediafront.org/osmplayer/drupalconsf.html but they no longer work. Only the first video plays.
I therefore came quickly unstuck following the installation instructions at step 6 when selecting widgets in Manage Fields in Content Types (http://drupal.org/node/1563580) ie

In the Manage Fields section, add the following fields:

label: Media Upload
name: media_upload
field: file
widget: file
label: Image Upload
name: image_upload
field: image
widget: image

In Drupal 6 I have installed the CCK modules Filefield and Imagefield.
I don't have a field called image but I do have a field called file : the available widgets are File Upload and Image- are these the same ?
On this basis , these are my new fields in my Media content type:

Label	        Name	               Type	       Widget
Image Upload	field_image_upload	File	       Image
Media Upload	field_media_upload	File	       File Upload

Following the rest of this section of your instructions I was able to upload mp3 files as a test. The resulting node has nothing to view.
I presume this is correct?

Next I'll move on to adding presets but would appreciate some confirmation that these first steps are correct.
