Hi, all,

I am using Embedded Video fields in my posts and it would be fantastic if I could add some short titles or descriptions to each of that fields, since that would be better for users and even moderatators/administrators to know what each of the videos is about.

Maybe someone has some kind of patch with described functionality? As I understand it, it should not be very difficult, but my drupal module programming skills are very limited. Maybe I could override some CCK functions in my template.php files, so it would display additional fields along with Embedded Video ones?

Thank you for your responses!

+1 for this functionality.

The fact that there is not a caption/description per embedded field seems to hurt the multiple value functionality a usability standpoint.

You can do this with CCK- there's no reason (that I can see) for putting this directly into emvideo. I'm marking as postponed in case anyone wants to commit a patch to do this.

Can somebody please explain how to do this with multiple values? I can ad a video field and a cck text field to a node and set both multiple values. A User can then create 1 or more Video and descriptions, but the descriptions are not related to the Videos. It is

video 1
video 2
video 3
+

description 1
description 2
description 3
+

How can I group the video field and the description field and have multi values?

video 1
description 1

video 2
description 2

video 3
description 3
+

I cant figure out how to do this.

+1 as well, even though I see it's postponed. Because not only would it make it easier on me not to build out captioning in other CCK fields, the ease of use for content authors if the caption field was right next to the Embedded Media Field would be considerable.

One can do that layout more or less with a limited number of fields but not with the unlimited option.
