Getting Started with Drupal Part 7 – Adding video to your site

Getting Started with Drupal Part 7 – Adding video to your site

Details

On Thursday November 18 we continue the media theme in our monthly 'Getting Started with Drupal Series'. This month we'll cover:

Adding video to your site.

What we'll cover in this class:

Different approaches in Drupal to adding video
Using Embedded Media module to create fields that embed video from YouTube, Vimeo, local files and other providers
Using Video Filter module to freeform embed video anywhere you can add text
Touch briefly on advanced options like creating your own video workflows, storing videos on amazon S3, etc.

This is a hands-on class, so bring your laptop and follow along! (You can still benefit even without one, though.)

Don't worry if you don't have Drupal installed, we have test installations for you to use, or you can sign up for a free account at https://www.webenabled... (https://www.webenabled.com) and quickly deploy a new Drupal site.

If you have any specific beginner questions you'd like to have addressed, please add them to the comments for this event and we'll try to work them in.

If you know anyone who'd like to get started with Drupal, please send them the link to this page! (https://groups.drupal.org/western-montana)

Recommended reading

To best prepare for the Getting Started series, we recommend the book Using Drupal published by O'Reilly. (https://www.amazon.com/Using-Drupal-Angela-Byron/dp/0596515804)If you are at all serious about learning Drupal, please just go ahead and purchase this excellent book. Monte, Art, and AJ are just three of our group members who are happy they did! Well-written and aimed at the Drupal beginner, it takes you though the sometimes-daunting Drupal jargon and concepts with ease, and gets you comfortable with managing content and building sites step-by-step. (Although highly recommended, the reading is not required to attend the session – everyone is welcome!)

About the Getting Started Series:

Each month an experienced Drupaler will present a lesson suitable for Drupal beginners. We'll structure the series so each month builds on the next – if you attend each monthly Getting Started series, your Drupal skills will grow naturally and within a few months you'll be competently managing your site and your content, and on your way to adding new site sections and features.
