Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

This is an extension of the Media: Flickr module which downloads images from Flickr and stores them as completely local file objects, rather than using a separate stream wrapper as Media: Flickr itself does.

This is useful if you want some of the benefits of the Media: Flickr module (for example, ability to paste in a Flickr embed link using the media browser and have the image automatically grabbed from Flickr) but also want to avoid some of the issues that come from using a non-local stream wrapper (see #2049797: The Media Flickr module should use a local stream wrapper, since it already saves a local thumbnail of the Flickr image for a discussion).

Unlike images pulled in via the Media: Flickr module itself, the images pulled in via this module do not retain a link to the original Flickr URL anywhere in the user interface. However, they are stored in the filesystem in such a way that the Flickr URL could be reconstructed if necessary (for example, a typical URI in the local file system will look like public://media-flickr/u/123456789/p/1234567890.jpg).

Code

This project is being developed on the 7.x-1.x branch, and you can get the code using:

git clone --branch 7.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/drothstein/2066499.git media_flickr_local

(For some reason, the list of commits for this project on drupal.org is empty right now so it looks like there is no code, but the code and commits do actually exist.)
