Time to port to 6! The Dojo will be using this module for the new DrupalDojo.com website and so we are making this a DROP task. Should be fun stuff since Actions and Trigger modules are now in core.

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.

One-and-a-half year later since last post, two-and-a-half year later since the initial issue...

Then D5 core will not be maintained any more in some weeks to a few months, when D7 has its official release.

Many new developments, modules, implementations since then. Is Media Actions depreciated for D7 in favor of other modules and therefor also for D6?

Last patch #3 to 'have it work' under D6 is from February 2008; can I install the D5 module with the patch and change the info file like its D6, so that I can automatically monitor this module for updates in my non-activated modules admin list?

"Drupal 6 Status: we are waiting for CCK and emfield to work properly in Drupal 6 before finishing the port of Media Actions to D6. In the meantime, we started porting Media Actions to Actions 2.0, which is a backport of Drupal 6 actions into Drupal 5. You may want to try that; it is not fully tested yet. Get it from CVS HEAD."

Is this a recent message (date lacks)? Do I interpret this correctly that Media Actions will be depreciated for D6 in favor of Actions(2) that includes Media Actions?

@ClearXSClearXS: I have not worked with videos for a while. If someone wants to work on a D6/D7 port, you are more than welcome.

As an alternative, if you are willing to host videos yourself, you may have a look at the Video module.
