Component body

This is a light weight module that provides an Internet Sources field (i.e. emfield in its 6.x branch) formatter. It helps you turn any link or text field to a media field with rich features (thumbnail or full player in any size) and without a heavy module.

Currently supported: YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion...

Features

  • Use any text or link field as a video field, so that there is no problem switching from a module to another.
  • Field formatters: video and thumbnail in different sizes.
  • Migration from Emfield 6.x: subset of D6 Emfield is supported with Content Migrate (CCK D7) integration.

Install

  • Download the MediaWrapper library and put it in sites/all/libraries/MediaWrapper.
  • Enable this module, configure any text field or link field to be displayed as an embedded player or a thumbnail.

Compatibility

  • ISfield 1.1 requires MediaWrapper 1.1 and does not support newer version
  • ISfield 1.2+ requires MediaWrapper 1.2+ and PHP 5.3. It is the same as 1.1, but much more extensible. Read the MediaWrapper documentation to see how to add your own media wrapper and how to customize output.

Usage

The link field or text field accepts any type of code for the Internet sources: any text that contains a URL to a known Internet sources (YouTube, DailyMotion, Vimeo etc.) or an embedded code will be automatically recognized.

Possible use cases:

  • Create a separate field for Internet sources media, then display it differently in different view mode.
  • Reuse an existing text field (even the body!) that contain embedded video anywhere in the text, then use the ISfield format to display only the video (as video or thumbnail).
  • You are using Link field to link to video. Now it is easier than ever to format this Link field as video or thumbnail.
