Drupal 6 Recipe for WYSIWYG Inline Media

Posted by Kurt Madel on Thu, 2011-03-10 23:13

First, I want to thank all those that showed up and to offer to meet up with anyone tomorrow that wanted anymore details - I will be around until around 11AM; so just email me at kmadel@captechconsulting.com. Also, I plan on capturing what I have done for Drupal 6 in an upcoming blog post at blogs.captechconsulting.com, but for now here is a list of modules that I used and a high level overview of my 'recipe'.
Modules used:

CCK
Imagefield
Display Suite, Node display, Node display contributions (see http://drupal.org/node/644662)
Node Reference Embedded Media Browser (http://drupal.org/project/nrembrowser)
Colorbox

And of course all modules required by those modules.

In addition, I made some customizations (hacks) to nrembrowser to utilize a hardcode display suite custom build mode (that can use different formatters for differing media content types) for replacing the filtered content.

More to come...
