Support for uploading to a user account

Scott,

I haven't been working on this, although it is one of my long-term goals for the module. I will gladly accept any patches you make that integrate this functionality. A few tips for 'the right way':

Find the sections of the code that are pulling the video_upload_youtube_username and video_upload_youtube_password, since those places in the code are where youtube authentication will be taking place.

Also keep in mind that I am (in the long term) trying to generalize this module away from being youtube-specific, so any youtube-specific additions should go in youtube.inc.

Subscribing.

Hey jhedstrom -- any progress on this? I know I'm intrigued. :) Subscribing.

It's 2010 now and this 2009 idea seems like abandoned. Too bad that such a great module have so little support.

The module is supported.
I will review your patches, answer your bug reports (and fix the bugs).

But expecting that people stand by and implement huge wish list items just because you need it (and don't want to contribute in terms of money or code) is unreasonable at best.

Dear Bojan, that's a very offtopic response to the issue you have there, so I will respond you in the same manner. I don't know why you have inflated like a cabbage. Your "money or code" response is so rude. Please read more about GPL before making such statements to the person here on a Drupal module issue/ feature request. The Drupal community is not just about developers and "people who pay" . It's an open source community. And drupal modules are a derivative work of Drupal, and therefore must be released under the GPL, period. If you make custom paid work, you can state so on the module's page or the drupal paid services page. And if I consider hiring one of the module maintainers to make my improvements it is up to me. If this feature is not to be implemented you can mark it as "won't fix". Or if you actually not gonna implement it soon, at least "postponed".

By my post I was intending to just kind remember about this very old feature request and suggest that this feature seemed like a good and "decent to ask for it" feature for others too.
My messsage was intended to be a call in request too for other developers that could help with some patches too. If I can help more on the issue I will, trust me.

I really don't expect "people stand by and implement -huge wish list- because I need it". But I really expect people like Andrew Kaufmann get a simple response to a reasonable question, quicker than after a year. I have a simple question too here : http://drupal.org/node/918646#comment-3476192 that if it is to wait an year for an answer I'd better uninstall this module.

So, If Andrew Kaufmann got no response on a very simple question for about a year it seems pretty much like bad support for this module.
Some bugs that i could have reported are already reported so I don't want to create duplicates. But there are some important bugs that are unresolved for a while now. That was another reason that made me say this module has bad support. Or should I say "snail speed" module. No offence intended.
That was nothing personal for you or any other other contributors of this module, actually congratulations and thanks for your work guys.

Not offtopic at all.
You complained about the module being badly supported on the video_upload issue queue. I'm the video_upload co-maintainer.
I admit that some issues do get lost or delayed, but I'm only one student against everyone else.

My reply was in a similar tone to your own comment. But now you're just being rude.
I do not offer any paid versions of the module, nor am I suggesting you pay me, I'm not even available for work.
I'm just responding to a common "entitled" vibe, with a note that is in the Drupal spirit "if you want something done, be prepared to push it forward in some way.".

This very same conversation happens every week or so to different module maintainers, and after participating in a few of them I feel drained, hence I will try and ignore all unrelated comments in the future.
I guess the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Cheers.

About the offtopic: to "Support for uploading to a user account" issue, comment #1 was on topic, but is from 1 year ago. I really would have helped already with code for this module, but I think that's beyond my knowledge, so with regrets, I leave this to others.

Ok. I rephrase my #4 comment with just this: "Subscribing!" . I thought that writing just this after 1 year is kinda stupid.
Actually this feature is not very necessary for me, but I was just thinking is a good feature to be implemented. And, "to push it forward in some way", I just kindly tried to remember the nice maintainers of this module about its existence.

You're doing a good job contributing on this module so congrats again and I agree ignoring all unrelated comments will be a good thing, while focusing your enthusiasm on something constructive, eg. like solving some old reported bugs of this module, surely if you have the time, knowledge and desire to do this.

Don't get me wrong, don't look at the negative part , look at the positive part. I said is a great module. And will be better after resolving duplicated uploads issues.

But Andrew Kaufmann still does not have an answer to his question :), (that is my question too actually and of others who might read this). That would be on topic.

Best wishes ,
Marcel

The answer is that it's not planned in the next two months.
My energy is focused on getting 6-.x-2.0 out, and that means abstracting out youtube and supporting multiple providers (mshick is working on that, and it probably will help with this issue too), as well as fix some glaring issues like the problems with revisioning, uploading etc...

Good to know about all this. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Bojan !
