Display Suite is an amazing module that is used by many Drupal site builders. Likewise, microdata is an essential module for building forward looking sites. It is imperative that these two modules be compatible. How can we accomplish that? I am not a developer so I am unable to help with the code itself, however, I know enough about coding to believe this is not a monumental task. I am willing to help in any way possible. Is there a coder out there who is willing to help make these two modules play well together? What can I do to help? Cheers, Kevin.

I'm interested in this issue as well, but if I understand correctly, there are 2 ways of doing it :

  1. Fork this module and make a version entirely dependant on Display Suite
  2. Split this existing microdata module in several modules, in order to separate the semantic configuration management from the theming-related code

The second option would be ideal - as it would allow for different, independant theming implementations (my original idea was to convert some http://reuze.me/ snippets into display suite, like in http://drupal.org/node/1795368).

Any guidance gladly appreciated ^^

Rather than making microdata compatible with Display Suite, I would recommend that DS use theme_field in a different way. It's use of theme_field doesn't just impact microdata, it also affects other modules. See #1896550: Possible to be compatible with Edit module?.

#1896550: Possible to be compatible with Edit module? - Posted by swentel on January 30, 2013 at 3:07pm :

That would mean I have to rewrite everything and that's not an option for the D7 version :)

So... that's that.

Might try to use the RDF UI ("allows site administrators to specify the RDF mappings via a user interface") from http://drupal.org/project/rdfx and write custom DS field templates for them - anyone see a better option ?

I actually was quite involved in RDFx module development. I don't think that will help with this problem.
