Revision ui in media and Drupal >= 10.2

Created on 26 March 2024, 9 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Lightnings issue #3067814 Hide the revision UI on media forms by default and Drupal 10.2.0 new feature Media now provides a UI for viewing, reverting and deleting revisions are not properly compatible. It feels like the core feature is a successor these days and we can end up showing the field revision_log_message in form display despite having disabled the ui in lightning_media.settings.revision_ui.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install recommended project >= 10.2
2. Install lightning_media (no submodules needed) and its needed dependencies
3. Disable lightning_media.settings.revision_ui
4. Activate revision_log_message in form display of document
5. Edit a media document element with Claro admin ui (see screenshot)

Proposed resolution

Since lightning_media is not maintained for real new released anymore and this would need a kind of rewrite of config for lightning_media in Drupal >= 10.2 the situation is kind of messy now.I dont feel like putting work in a merge-request would end in a new release since the last updates to the dev-branch is from january 2023 and lightnings end of life partially is some time ago.

I wrote my own update-hook to smoothen the config in our own projects, maybe the code helps some of you:

function mymodule_update_10001(&$sandbox) {

  if (\Drupal::moduleHandler()->moduleExists('lightning_media')) {

    $configFactory = \Drupal::configFactory();

    // set global lightning setting for media
    $configFactory
      ->getEditable('lightning_media.settings')
      ->set('revision_ui', TRUE)
      ->save();

    // get all media form displays
    $config_names = $configFactory->listAll('core.entity_form_display.media');
    foreach ($config_names as $config_name) {

      // only change default form display
      if (str_contains($config_name, '.default')) {
        $config = $configFactory->getEditable($config_name);

        $hidden = $config->get('hidden');

        // is it hidden?
        if ($hidden['revision_log_message']) {

          $content = $config->get('content');

          // add to content
          $content += [
            'revision_log_message' => [
              'type' => 'string_textarea',
              'region' => 'content',
              'settings' => [
                'rows' => 4,
                'placeholder' => '',
              ],
              'third_party_settings' => [],
            ]
          ];
          $config->set('content', $content);

          // remove from hidden
          unset($hidden['revision_log_message']);
          $config->set('hidden', $hidden);

          $config->save(TRUE);
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
