Upload to DAM via Drupal

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 18 November 2024, 5 months ago

Problem/Motivation

I'd like authors to be able to upload assets while authoring instead of needing to upload the asset to DAM before authoring an article. This will help make the authoring experience more seamless.

Proposed resolution

  1. Add upload profile selection as a configurable setting.
  2. Add support for uploads to the DAM client
  3. Add an upload capability to the Media library
  4. Add an upload capability via the Admin UI

Remaining tasks

  • Should users be able to delete their uploaded assets from the DAM?
  • Bulk sync process to move all Drupal media on the local filesystem into the DAM?

    Disclaimer: I am not a member of the Product Team that makes decisions about the direction of forthcoming development but I can hardly imagine such a data communication would be implemented in the near future. The entire ecosystem is built upon the concept that Widen is the central SSoT and one or more client websites connect it to fetch data from. Allowing backward would require a major overhaul of the entire current architecture. Sorry, this is a strong -1 from me.

    Could you expand on what would require rearchitecture? DAM already has upload APIs. The Drupal module just needs to be configured with an upload profile, and then it could upload assets to the DAM.

    Once uploaded, the media browser would need to be refreshed to see the images now available.

    In the Drupal CMS, users are accustom to adding media via the Drupal UI. I'd strongly advocate to continue this convention, even if it means initiating the process from Drupal but carrying out steps through the DAM UI.
