Drupal Multimedia

Adding and handling multimedia in Drupal requires use of many contributed modules; deciding which to use and how to get the most from them is often not straightforward. This book provides information for administrators and professional site developers who need to embed media in a Drupal site. Readers need basic knowledge of Drupal operation, but no experience of how Drupal handles multimedia items is needed. The book will guide you through the steps to add image, video, audio, and Flash elements to Drupal sites, taking you through the contributed modules for handling media, showing you what they do, when to use them, and how to get the most from them. When contributed modules aren't enough, you will see examples of custom development to add that special touch. Each topic starts with simple techniques and moves on to more advanced techniques. After completing this book you will be ready to tackle most multimedia needs, with enough understanding to creatively solve more complex problems.
