Good evening
I am looking for something in Drupal 7 that just HAS to be in there. I'm building a website which has to be used by normal people (ie not programmers or whatsoever, they know very little of a computer) so the website should be easy to use. Everything is going fine, but I'm stuck somewhere:
I want to create a menu item 'Media', which has two subitems 'movies' and 'images'. Now I'm looking for two modules:
1. One should be able to embed youtube very easily (I'm using yui as a WYSIWYG editor, maybe you guys know something that's compatible with it) and simultaneously it must be able to create a site structure:
ex: I want to create a page containing all kind of clips of a certain year, then I should be able to let the module know which year it is. This would then go in media>movies>2011.
2. Another should be able to do the same, but for photo albums and a bit deeper: I should also be able to define an event: ex: I want to post an album of a certain year (ex. "2011") and a certain event (ex. "event"), this album (which should also be placed inside colorbox) should be here: media>images>2011>event
Does ANYONE have any idea how to accomplish this? Keep in mind that I'm quite a beginner. :)
Not as hard as you think
There are a couple of modules which could do the job :)
I suggest to use 2 different content type for the images and the videos.
For the videos you should use the Embed media field and CCK
For the images - if I get this right - you should use calendar.
The year thing can be done with cck or taxonomy either it's up to you :)
For Drupal 7 you should be
For Drupal 7 you should be looking at the Media module rather than Embedded media field.
Well, I've tried somethings
Well, I've tried somethings with Drupal Gardens' galleries and it's working relatively well now :)
