File Management

Fast Gallery is a simple, lightweight, and fast image gallery. Making albums is as easy as putting images or videos into folders and uploading them to the gallery directory. It is fast because it is not based on nodes and doesn't implement some of the more complex features of larger gallery systems.

This module makes it possible for public and private download to co-exists on Apache web servers.

This module provides an API to consolidate images into a single sprite image.

When an image hits the sprite registry, it will be entered into a static array. At the end of a page load, all so entered images will be consolidated into a single image made up of them all, and a CSS file will be generated to properly display the image. The registry array will be saved to the cache with its md5 hash, so that future sprite images of the same composition may be retrieved without rebuilding that image.

The File (Field) Paths module extends the default functionality of Drupal's core File module, Image module and many other File upload modules, by adding the ability to use entity based tokens in destination paths and file names.

In simple terms, File (Field) Paths allows you to automatically sort and rename your uploaded files using token based replacement patterns to maintain a nice clean filesystem.

 

Features:

• Configurable file paths now use entity tokens in addition to user tokens.
• Configurable file names.
• Support for file based fields, including but not limited to:
  • Drupal core File module
  • Drupal core Image module
  • Video module.
• File path and filename cleanup options:
  • Remove slashes from tokens.
  • Filter out words and punctuation by taking advantage of the Pathauto module.
  • Convert unicode characters into US-ASCII with the Transliteration module.
• [D7] Automatically updates unprocessed file paths in any Text fields on the entity.
• Retroactive updates - rename and/or move previously uploaded files.
• Active updating - actively rename and/or move previously uploaded files.
• Automatically create an redirect when moving uploaded files using the Redirect module.

Drupal 8

Scald is a popular and flexible way to handle media in Drupal.

Scald can handle images, video, audio, tweets and even Flash files. Scald works with YouTube, Vimeo, Soundcloud and many other providers. You can see a full list on the scald provider's page, you can also read our FAQ.

This module provides a home-grown flash media player for video and audio playback. It's written in OpenLaszlo to make modifications relatively easy for developers and requires no flash IDE. It plans to provide an extensive API for custom administrative modifications as well.

Calls made as follows:

This module targets to add WebDAV access to Drupal content management. It is basically a WebDAV server pumping it's data from a specialized WebDAV API. It has been developed for three years now, used by a bunch of people, including me, on an every day basis, improved it in order to get speed, compliance and security.

The S3 Saver module works with the CDN module and its patches to provide a means to push files to Amazon S3 as they're uploaded to the site.

It incurs zero database overhead in doing so, and files are stored both locally and on the remote server.

This project is currently ALPHA. It was designed as a proof of concept only, and could use further development.

Known issues:

Allows client-side scaling and rotating of images, and fast upload directly to drupal image galleries.

This differs from other image uploading modules in the following way:
1. Scales images on the local machine, so images are scaled before they are transmitted to the server.
2. Upload images in bulk without using FTP etc.
3. Imports images directly into an image gallery.

Note that this module uses a digitally signed java applet. Java source is included but not required to use the module.

#D7CX: The managed_file element provide by core File module has the same functionality and this module will be discontinued. Migration is as easy as turning on the File module and changing your API slightly as both are based on Drupals {file(s)} table.

This module provides two new form elements to assist with files that are stored/updated in Drupal's {files} table.
