6.x Port of Media Actions

Ok, this is officially a DROP task: http://drop.cwgordon.com/node/52

I've started work on this and have most of the patch done. Should get the rest of the port done in the next few days.

OK, here is my first pass at the upgrade. I can't actually test the functionality on it because the emfield and mediafield modules are not ported to 6 yet (I added them to the dependencies list since you can do anything with this otherwise.)

I moved the the new core action hooks code into media_actions.module instead of the inc since that seemed more appropriate but I left the blip helper functions in the inc. I also updated the README to the new version info and added a USE section.

In terms of the code itself I didn't really modify it outside of the needed upgrading beyond breaking it into the new proper functions and very minimal standards stuff. The one significant change was removing the validation code since adding a simple '#required' => TRUE to the FAPI fields satisfies that need. There is a fair amount of duplicative code between the upload and update actions so I want to look at minimizing duplication in a second pass.

There is a semi-working version of emfield now available in CVS. There are still some fairly big items to be finished (views integration for one), but you might want to give it a look to see where it's going.

Thanks for the update, Alex. Unfortunately, it is not working enough to test the patch: the emfields are not displayed in the node creation form.

Please keep us posted!

Thanks

Thanks for the patch, add1sun.

I backported your patch (and modified it a bit) to Drupal 5 / Actions 2.0. It is not fully tested yet (I pla to finish that in the next few days) but you can try it now. Get it from CVS HEAD.

Hi there.

Could anyone give some update on the status, please? Or is this dead? Are there alternatives to using this module for uploading on home site and yet storing video on 3rd-party? I would be very interested in having this feature but don't have the skills to programm it. Thanks for sharing information and efforts done so far!

Cheers.

Hi,
I did not have the time to follow up on this during the summer, but now I must create a site with external video hosting in Drupal 6. The port should be completed in the next few weeks.

Is this on anyone's radar?

We chose another solution, so the port is still not completed... and I dont see any free time ahead...

@pfournier: which solution?

We developped a CCK module that host videos on AmazonS3; we are planning to release it, but for now it still contains some features specific to our project.

I think MediaMover does something similar, but I have not checked its state for a while.

Any chance you would be willing to share this? Also looking into S3 as a CDN.

Yes, but I have to find time to clean up the code and release it as a usable module.
