Chapter 8. Enhancing Media Content
In this chapter we will be revisiting some media resources such as images and videos, and enriching the user experience when handling these types of media assets. We will familiarize ourselves better with a site builder's ability to influence the underlying configuration and fine-tune settings relating to media resources.
In this chapter, we will:
Understand the components of media assets and their configuration
Leverage the Colorbox module to enhance the user's experience with images
Use the Plupload integration module to enable multiple file uploads simultaneously
Understand the use of image styles, extending them with third-party modules for enabling more image effects, as well as with custom module code
Introduce the Fivestar module as a means of rating content and allowing users to provide feedback on content
