Description

Wouldn't this do better as a plugin to the Embedded Media Field?

Rob, perhaps it should be.

From what I see, Embedded Media Field is a engine and we would have to go for either Embedded Image Field or Embedded Video Field. I actually would like to see the kind of hooks it provides which this module can implement there by minimizing the duplicated development effort, but keeping things encapsulated.

As an example - I intend to rewrite the deviantART Embed using Views hooks. There are some other associations we can implement in this third-party module like the artist profile and Drupal user association.

In short, yes, it could do better as a plugin to Embedded Media Field if it allows for hooks that can be implemented in a separate module.

Keeping the issue open since this definitely needs to be explored. :)

I have raised a support request at Embedded Media Field #365543: How to implement a provider from a different module? to see if I can find any documentation with regard to creating the deviantART Embed content type as a plugin to that module.

If that is possible to do from this module, then we can just have a module dependency which would indicate to the users that they need to install that module before activating this one.

The beta2 release makes deviantART Embed content type a plugin for Embedded Media Field.

I will be updating the main project page soon.
