	389	Remove Markdown explanations, after figuring out how to handle links	graphic design/interface		defect		new	2012-02-09T20:55:28Z	2015-02-19T04:51:11Z	"Currently some inputs such as the comment field, the profile bio and the media description have ""You can use Markdown for formatting."" next to them, where ""Markdown"" links to http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/basics .

I'd prefer to have these removed, the reasons being:

1. Not all Markdown styles work, on purpose. Headers don't show, for instance, because this would mess up the page layout.
2. Markdown aims to be as natural as possibe. Type *this* and it will show it with emphasis. Lists are easy to create as well. Therefore, no explicit explanation is needed.
3. Having less stuff is good.

The only problem to me seems to be links, because it is unclear how to create those. Either:

1. We explain how to create links.
2. We add a small button that inserts a link template in the field.

Otherwise, it will be hard to figure out how to create links because inserting a URL will not result in one (maybe that is a bug in itself?)."	Jef van Schendel

	650	.media_data is sometimes None (and has no rows)!  Is this the right thing to do?	documentation		defect		new	2013-03-03T00:06:56Z	2013-08-15T15:57:12Z	"Elrond and I had a conversation on IRC.  Basically, I was surprised to learn that some entries do not have {{{.media_data}}} records and wrote some code that exploded on me, and that this was by design (it may be that I was involved in this design, but anyway, if so I forgot :))  The way things currently work is that media_data is optionally initialized when properties are set, like so:

{{{
    if len(exif_all):
        entry.media_data_init(exif_all=exif_all)

    if len(gps_data):
        for key in list(gps_data.keys()):
            gps_data['gps_' + key] = gps_data.pop(key)
        entry.media_data_init(**gps_data)
}}}

In the above example (which is image processing code) media data is initialized if there's exif data or if there's GPS data.  However, if there's neither, the {{{.media_data}}} row will never be written and trying to access {{{.media_data}}} will return None.

The question is: is this a good idea?  The short version is that it's a battle between two different forms of minimalism: only filling the database with rows when there's something to store results in a leaner database but messier code, always having a row results in simpler code but some rows when no rows need to exist.  (Thus a battle between Elrond's razor (database simplicity) and cwebber's razor (code simplicity)!)

A longer version of these points are:

1. This results in code that is harder to read:

{{{
if media.media_data is not None:
    # do something with media data
}}}

  ... which is fairly confusing.

2. As for writing, one could argue that it's not much trickier to do {{{media.media_data.p = q}}} or instead {{{media.media_data_init(p=q)}}}.  (Counterpoint: maybe there are some media data forms that require setting multiple fields at once in a somewhat interdependent or tricky way?)  However, initializing fields is not the only thing; one also works with things above such as the {{{if media.media_data is not None}}} which can be very tricky to get right.  Also, if Chris Webber was confused and wrote totally broken code because of this {{{.media_data}}} being None thing, probably so will others!
3. Migrations could get a lot messier.  Basically, one might write a migration that assumes a query on an images' media data, and one might forget that those rows might not always be there.  This could result in broken migrations.  On the other hand, migrations are already one of the trickest things in mediagoblin anyway. ;)
4. The big thing though is that it's less db space to do things this way.  Elrond says it's a bigger concern on MySQL/MariaDB (well, we don't support that yet anyway ;)) than it is on postgres or sqlite.
5. It wouldn't be less queries though, since we still need to check whether there's a row or not.  (However, Elrond points out that the payload is somewhat less if we don't return anything!)

What's the right thing to do?

	1004	Videoplayer has wrong height for videos with width>640	programming		defect		accepted	2014-10-20T16:28:12Z	2016-07-22T16:02:24Z	"It is possible to skip transcoding videos that are larger than 640 pixels in some dimension. For instance, this way a user can upload 1280x720 webm videos without transcoding them to smaller. However, there is a bug in the player for these videos.

If a video is wider than 640 pixels, the width of the videoplayer is scaled to 640 pixels but the height of the videoplayer is the same as of the video. Thus, for a 1280x720 video, the player has size 640x720, leaving black bars on top and bottom of the video. Fullscreen obviously works fine.

A sketch of a solution:
HTML video player is scaled appropriately if only width or height is given. Thus, give the width as min(width,640) and let the height be chosen automatically.

Modify the video tag in the template mediagoblin/templates/mediagoblin/media_displays/video.html:
{{{
<video controls
          {% if global_config['plugins']['mediagoblin.media_types.video']['auto_play'] %}autoplay{% endif %}
          {% if media.media_data.width > 640 %}width=640{% else %}width={{ media.media_data.width }}{% endif %}
          preload=""auto"" class=""video-js vjs-default-skin"">
}}}

A few things to consider:
 * I hardcoded 640, but it should be retrieved somehow.
 * I removed data-setup because it breaks this fix and I think it's not valid HTML"	Jaakko Luttinen

The reason for this is that the CSRF meddleware sets cookie path to {{{request.environ['SCRIPT_NAME']}}}, and the cookie is not sent when accessing the comment add page.

The issue can be fixed by introducing a new setting {{{csrf_cookie_path}}}, set by default to '/' and using it instead of {{{request.environ['SCRIPT_NAME']}}}. Django does [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/settings/#csrf-cookie-path something similar].

	1070	Handling languages Babel currently doesn't (Na'vi, Lojban)	infrastructure		defect		accepted	2014-12-12T21:35:24Z	2016-01-09T22:36:44Z	"Currently, Babel doesn't support languages like Na'vi, Lojban.  The unfortunate side effect of this is that when our language tooling hits these languages, it explodes.

Looking into how to fix this, it looks like Babel [https://github.com/mitsuhiko/babel/blob/master/scripts/download_import_cldr.py#L16 downloads] the [http://cldr.unicode.org/ CLDR data] on languages, and this is used to populate a big ol' dictionary which is stored in [https://github.com/mitsuhiko/babel/blob/master/babel/localedata.py#L22 babel.localedata:_cache].  Unfortunately, while we *can* monkeypatch this variable (simply [https://github.com/mitsuhiko/babel/blob/master/babel/localedata.py#L51 load('en_US')] once then append 'jbo' or etc to the dictionary), the value we would have to supply is a very, very complex data structure, and I doubt we could provide it correctly.  This value is extracted by Babel during the [https://github.com/mitsuhiko/babel/blob/master/scripts/download_import_cldr.py CLDR data downloading/importing process] and it is a non-trivial exercise.

I [https://github.com/mitsuhiko/babel/issues/30#issuecomment-66796699 filed a bug looking for a workaround for unidentified languages], but I think a workaround will be hard given the large amount Babel relies on this data.  So, probably, we will need to supply CLDR data, but that data is too complex to just write by hand.

One way or another (monkeypatching or not), in order to supply these, we need the proper CLDR data.  I spoke to someone involved in the process, and found two things:

* They are welcome to contributions of Na'vi and Lojban to their catalog, and there is a [http://cldr.unicode.org/development/new-cldr-developers new contributor page]. We should (and likely will) do this.  Probably, the process for getting things officially will take some time.
* In the meanwhile, while going through the process to generate those, we should be able to get the appropriate files to run through the necessary tooling to generate the data we need.

I asked them to test both MP3 and OGG and here is a list of replies I got:

Samsung Galaxy S2: Play does not work for both. WebM works for both.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3: Same as above.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 w/ Android 5.0.1. Using Firefox mobile. It all works. :-)

Android 5 on Motorola Moto E 4G, Firefox: Everything works. Interestingly, ogg and webm play in the browser, but the mp3 it wants to download and then I can play it offline. I wonder if that is the choice of the Goblin or the Fox.
Actually it's not Mozilla's Firefox but the F-Droid Fennec, but for these purposes it should be equivalent.

Also, the web browser app probably plays a role. (For Android there are at least three popular browsers.)

Does not work (“Play” does nothing) in zirco or AOSP stock browser in my Samsung Galaxy Ace with cyanogenmod 7.2 (Android 2.7). I suppose this is normal (too old browsers)…

	5447	Make disabling plugins less tricky	programming		defect		new	2016-03-28T19:28:17Z	2021-09-20T05:54:38Z	"Now that we're using Alembic's branching model to enable long-running plugin migration branches, disabling plugins has gotten... complicated.  From the current git master docs:

{{{
Deactivating plugins
====================

You should be aware that once you enable a plugin, deactivating it
might be a bit tricky, for migrations reasons.  In the future we may
produce better tooling to accomodate this.  In short, you will need to
do a bit of database surgery by:

- Removing all tables and indexes installed by the plugin
- Removing the plugin's migration head id from the `alembic_version`
  table.  (You might be able to determine which to remove via
  examining the output of `./bin/gmg alembic heads`)

Note that this is a VERY TRICKY process, and you should be sure to make
a backup first.  You've been warned!
}}}

Well, obviously this isn't great.  And the reason this isn't great is if you disable a plugin, the revisions for that plugin can't be found (because they aren't made available to alembic's migration path), and thus alembic is like ""wtf is going on?""

So anyway, the docs suggest a method of ""database surgery"" to be able to install things, but of course manual surgery is unreliable.  We should provide a parameter so that plugins can define their own ""uninstall"" rule that does this kind of manual surgery *for* the user (deleting tables, etc), and then delete the latest revision for that branch path."

I am blind, so use a screen reader to access the web. However, your audio player (not sure about video) is inaccessible with them. For example, the play button shows to my screen reader as a clickable of 'black up pointing small triangle"" which is not very descriptive. However, when I do click on the triangle, the pause button is a symbol that my screen reader cannot recognize, which simply speaks as clickable. This is on windows, using jaws for windows. I haven't tested with NVDA (an open source screen reader), but with orca on linux, the clickable isn't even seen at all, and there is no way to play the audio.
For audio (and video, possibly) I can recommend able player (https://ableplayer.github.io/ableplayer/) as an alternative that is guaranteed to be accessible if done right. IT could also introduce new features, such as closed captions and transcripts on videos.
Thanks,
-Michael.

Basically, to idea is to replace the tedious process to add medias to collection. It's done, by putting the form where media are.
- When you submit a media
- When you are on a media's page.

The ""add to collection"" page no longer exists (yet I haven't removed anything that whould allow it to work... up to you).

TEMPLATES 

- The media_collect.html has been splitted to be used as a stand alone or as par of another form (start.html). The media's information has been removed, it's now contextual. 

- The ""embeddable form"" is in utils/collection_form.html

- submit/start.html embeds the form above

VIEWS

The ""add to collection"" method has been put in tools/collection.py so it can be called from the ""submit a media form"" and from within the media page.

- in user_pages/views.py
  - media_home : adding the collection form
  - media_collect : it calls the collection_tools method instead 

- in submit/views.py : calls the collection_tools method, passing the new media's data

I've slightly changed the behavior when you type an existing collection : it add the media to the existing collection instead of showing an error. It was mainly because I couldn't find a way to reload the media entry page without losing the filled form. Moreover, it's a smoother way to handle the error.

For files with an EXIF date_taken field, the equivalent mediagoblin database field should get auto-filled when an image is added.  Not all media have such a field, so it should be user editable.  The EXIF date_taken could also be wrong, so user editable also means the user should be able to clear/delete the date if it was auto-filled.

I discussed this with Elrond (and odinho) on #mediagoblin, 2013-02-18 19:45 UTC."	warp
	659	mark_entry_failed should possibly rollback session	programming		enhancement		new	2013-03-11T21:16:55Z	2014-09-18T21:38:25Z	"{{{mark_entry_failed}}} is often called after an exception.
This exception might be an sql exception (it shouldn't, but well, it happens). After an sql exception the session is in a broken state and mark_entry_failed can't do its job and mark the entry failed: If a session is broken, one can't use it for anything, until one cleans it up using {{{.rollback()}}}.

So the suggestion is to call {{{Session.rollback()}}} in {{{mark_entry_failed}}}.

Rationale:

1. If the session is clean: fine.
2. If the session is broken: better clean it up instead of having a exception on an exception (harder to read).
3. If someone missed to {{{.save()}}} something, oh well, their fault.

This is not only illogical, but the licenses' text url is the thing that is most likely to change overtime (maybe not for CC's but for small licenses it can happend).

I think it's a better idea to use the full name of the license in the drop down menu, keep in mind most people don't understand much about this. CC-BY-SA is too elitist. ""Creative Commons"" will be more likely to ring a bell.

Here's few changes I suggest : 
in submit/forms.py#69
[-]return [(lic.uri, lic.abbreviation) for lic in SORTED_LICENSES]
[+] return [(lic.abbreviation, lic.name) for lic in SORTED_LICENSES

 You'll notice this poses some visual issues : why not radio, then ? Drop down lists are usually a bad option when there's too many entry anyway.

[-] <a href=""{{ media.license }}"">{{ media.get_license_data().abbreviation }}</a>

Activities however should have 4 extra fields which they currently do not have. These should specify who the activity goes to.

The fields are to/cc/bto/bcc. In these fields they can take Lists which need to be created. Lists can be user defined or a special type which are:

- Public (everyone including those not logged in)
- Following (those who are following the user posting)
- Followers (those who the user posting is following)

The concept of following a user currently doesn't exist in MediaGoblin however for this issue such a spcialised list should exist so that we can record who the user wants to show the media to but currently just be an empty list of users.

Discussions with Chris and Elrond about implementing this as it's a many to many for two types would be to have a Reciever model which User and List inherit from. The id would be on reciever and then you would have a foreignkey to the reciever

e.g.

{{{#!python
class Reciever(Base):
    """""" Model which represents person(s) who might recieve something """"""
    __tablename__ = ""core__recievers""

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)

class User(Reciever, UserMixin):
    # This would be the existing user model without the id as that's been moved to reciever.
    pass

class List(Reciever):
    # This would the representation of a List
    pass

I'm unsure how the special cases should be represented.

	1087	Smart captcha system	programming		enhancement		new	2015-01-14T22:50:48Z	2016-01-12T17:50:54Z	"Obviously related to and dependent on #1086

This maybe could wait a bit to be implemented, but I've been thinking about a captcha system that provides the following features:

 - Serves image-based (and maybe audio-based) captchas, but *doesn't* require saving any image files on-server (which you later have to garbage collect...)
 - Doesn't require any rows in the database
 - Doesn't require any nonfree software
 - Integrates with the forms system
 - Makes use of our existing crypto/session stuff.

Here's how I think it would work.

 - hooks are run to initialize the captcha for whatever form / view.  Attach validation requirement to wtforms and generate the image.
 - When generating the image (I'm not sure what kind of algorithm we should use for this), *don't* write to a file on disc static-served via apache.  Instead, we can base64 encode the image after rendering, pack it into the response, and serve it directly.  See mediagoblin/plugins/persona/static/js/persona.js for an example of this in action.
 - Provide a question and *hashed* version of the expected answer from the captcha which the user needs to answer.  We sign the question and hashed answer with itsdangerous (and set a time limit to solve it) so that the user can't make up their own question and answer.

I think doing the above could be a pretty smart and elegant solution... it means being able to do a captcha that doesn't require storing any extra junk server-side, but still provides a way to pass a captcha along.

The trickiest part of this might be writing some code to make some visual captchas in the first place.

Note: I'm not sure if it's possible to base64 encode audio in the same way?  But if so, we could provide both audio and visual captchas.

https://github.com/orblivion/mediagoblin/commits/collection-ui-improvements

These are some improvements that I thought would be good, though it could be controversial. The sorting/filtering part is spawned from what I thought was somewhat of a requirement created by #5360, though independent enough that I split it out.

1) Media items in the collection view don't show the title of the media entry, we just show the collection item note. I think it makes sense to default to the media entry title if there is no note:

https://github.com/orblivion/mediagoblin/commit/25e424023226a4823b0f50258fe54a28964a202e

The potential issue I see with this is that collections can hold things other than media entries, and those might not have titles. I'm not sure what else you had in mind to hold, so I'll put this out there for now to see what you think. I could work around it but I want to make sure it's necessary.

2) Collections are currently sorted by descending `position`. I actually don't see anywhere in the codebase that `position` is ever set, so I presume this is a ""TODO"". The problem is that the way collections work now, it *sort of* sorts by ascending `id`. I guess the database does this naturally. The reason I say *sort of* is that I think some things start to get funny if you delete items. So, I thought I'd formalize it by sorting collections by ascending (`position`, `id`). If you start setting `position` and leave it as sorting descending, you'll end up reversing the way it's been working so far. (Unless you intended the sense of `position` and `id` to be opposite of each other?)

Also in this commit, I filter by whether the media item is processed.

https://github.com/orblivion/mediagoblin/commit/ad9a9d8a756a55e36e83696639d6dd558eb497e3

3) Collections currently show up as a text list. This seems rather unpolished. Here, I make it a gallery view, using the first item in the gallery if available:

	5487	Feature: allow to rotate media after upload	programming		enhancement		new	2016-10-22T10:09:39Z	2016-10-22T10:09:39Z	"Partially linked to #454, but more generic, it would be good to have the option to manually rotate uploaded media when then are not rendered properly for any reason (missing/incorrect EXIF tags, weird video format, ...).

This can be as simple as an inconditional “Rotate 90°”, where other rotation can be obtained by clicking the button multiple times. Ideally, only the thumbnail would be rotated in real time, and the full file itself as an async media processing.

Dimensions in the database should also be uploaded accordingly."	Olivier Mehani

It would be great to be able to also follow to a user, a collection, a tag, or just everything, receive a notification for each media added therein, and (maybe optionally) automatically subscribe to their comments.

Notifications could be sent immediately or batched with a configurable time-period, and should ideally contain thumbnails.

 state='unprocessed' where id='ID'` `gmg reprocess run ID initial`]
 * Allow to reprocess `processed` entries [aka `gmg reprocess run ID

 * Allow to regenerate the thumbnail for one entry [close to, but not
 exactly, `gmg reprocess thumbnails`]
 * Allow to rotate media, see #5487

## Important

* Sometimes slow/unresponsive
* high celery CPU usage when idle
* ... + hard to debug/trace
* DB deadlock with SQLite

## Normal

* Rotate media without reencoding
* Navigate through the current tag or collection rather than user-post history, depending on how the media was reached (maybe using proxy URLs e.g. /t/TAG/m/MEDIA or /u/USER/t/TAG/m/MEDIA instead of /u/USER/m/media when accessed through the tag page, or /u/USER/collection/COLLECTION/m/MEDIA, when accessed through the collection page)
* private mode
* ... + share single media/collection with private, revocable, token
* bulk actions: upload/delete/tag,... from a single page

## Minor

* Play animated gif
* audio/audiolab
* Category sorting
* tag rename
* tag suggestion
* audiolab no longer available on recent Pythons
* keyboard navigation in galleries: left/right for prev/next page
* navigation pager at top of page

## Wishlist

* Crop
* show Geotag + other metadata from video
* More attractive/immersive layout with less whitespace between thumbnails and screen walls
* comment edition/deletion
* multi site install, split binary from config
* standard python build + venv
* search by keywords and/or multiple tags

	5617	Private mode	programming		enhancement		new	2020-05-16T15:45:33Z	2021-09-19T13:00:18Z	"Here is a first cut at requiring login before seeing content.

It adds a configuration option, `require_login`, which, if set, prevents media and listings from being displayed to anonymous visitors.

It also doesn't output any entry in the RSS feed, which could otherwise be used to discover paths to the media.

I realised fairly late that this sort of behaviour could be implemented through decorators (probably as a light superset to `@require_active_login`, checking the config). At the moment, this is mostly implemented within the Jinja templates, rendering login pages where listings should be, rather than blocking the entire page.

Let's discuss what the best approach is!"	Olivier Mehani

#!rst
After I add a new piece of media, the site takes me to my profile
page, of all places. Even if I didn't start out on my profile page
when I clicked the 'Submit media' button. How silly.

Two solutions:

1.) After adding new media, always take the user back to their
gallery page. Makes more sense than their profile page--what does
that have to do with their pictures?

2.) After adding new media, take the user back to whatever page
they started out on when they started the media-adding interaction.
This is probably more complicated to code, but it does make adding
media slightly more smooth for the user.

#!rst
When the user uploads an image we convert it to one or two
additional JPEG sizes.


1. We will always create thumbnail.jpg.
2. If the image dimensions exceed one of 640x640px, we will create
   medium.jpg
3. If there exists a medium.jpg file for a media entry, we will
   show it on the media page,
   **else we will display the original file**

This means that GIF images work if the fit within 640x640px

Proposal¶
---------


1. Create GIF thumbnails and medium.jpg if the original is a gif
   image

Possible setbacks with this is that some thumbnails may present a
large download despite it's small size.

Possible solutions to possible setbacks¶
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It might be possible to resize a preset duration for the thumbnail
animation and create the medium.jpg (if needed) with the full
animation.

    ## Notifications stuff is not yet a plugin (and we're not sure it will be),
    ## but it needs to add stuff to the context.  This is THE WRONG WAY TO DO IT
    from mediagoblin import notifications

This isn't nice... as far as I can tell, there's no reson for notifications to not be a plugin though?  That would fix the issue of hardcoding these utilities into the template context.

Alternately maybe if there are some plugins that are so core they should always be on and might as well be core, but it's cleaner to use the template machinery, maybe we could provide a way to have a ""always loaded"" set of ""plugins""... even though they're soldered into the outlet ;)"	Christopher Allan Webber

This degradation is inherent to scaling indexed images and though the result may vary depending on the scaling algorithm used (NEAREST, BILINEAR, BICUBIC, or ANTIALIAS), scaling will always result in degradation. 

Of the file types that Mediagoblin supports, PNG and TIFF files may or may not use indexed color mapping, while GIF files always use indexed colors.

One way to improve the quality of such scaled previews is to convert the image to the RGB color space before scaling.

	826	Mediatype of image should provide a Download link.	graphic design/interface		defect		new	2013-12-28T17:01:11Z	2018-05-07T09:52:35Z	"Currently, the webpages for images (PNG, GIF, JPEG, and TIFF) provide no link for downloading the original file. If the preview is a scaled version of the original file, it is left to the user to right-click on the preview image and choose ""Save link as..."" or ""Save target as..."" or somesuch (depending on the webbrowser used). 

It would more convenient and less confusing if there was an explicit Download link as is provided for on the webpages of other mediatypes. For example, if I am hosting a PNG file that has a scaled down preview, I could instruct someone to visit the page and click on the ""Download"" link -- there would be no concern about what browser they are using and no chance that they might mistakenly choose the ""Save image as..."" command.

	856	Time interval localization fails	graphic design/interface		defect		new	2014-03-04T15:01:05Z	2014-03-04T15:01:05Z	"Time intervals, such as “1 hour, 20 minutes ago” are never translated, even though the i18n is implemented correctly.

Cause: timesince.py uses lazy_pass_to_ungettext for the translation. The function, ungettext, requires a singular-plural pair. But this pair was not recognized when generating the .pot file. To be usable with ungettext, the record must contain both “msgid” and “msgid_plural”. Consequently, ungettext sees neither singular nor plural translation, even when it is present in the language file, and always defaults to the English string.

Solution: when generating the .pot file (template for translators), be sure not to miss the ungettext aliased as “_” in timesince.py.

Easier solution: just patch the .pot file with “fix-plurals-in-pot.patch” that I included in the attachment. This will fix the 6 special cases (year, month, …) and you can continue generating the template the same way you do now.

Note: If you are wondering why “minutes” is mentioned twice, it is because timesince.py uses it via both ungettext and ugettext (in the case of “0 minutes”), and it wouldn't otherwise see it. You can either change it to ungettext with n=1, or have the word “minutes” twice in the .pot, I chose the latter because it didn't require changing the code.

So, I believe it will work like this: if you patch the current mediagoblin_mediagoblin.pot and upload it to transifex, it will add these new words. Once people translate them, the .po files you'll export from transifex will already be in the correct format, and time intervals will appear in those languages, without changing any of the code. I tested it on my machine and it seems to work."	digital-dreamer

{{{
dn: cn=USERNAME,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
}}}

Sadly the email retrieval fails to work since it relies on the fact that there is an attribute {{{uid=USERNAME}}}.

This assumption is not always valid (see above: {{{cn=USERNAME}}}).

Thus it would be reasonable to use the first part of the {{{LDAP_USER_DN_TEMPLATE}}} for the filter condition within the email handling code (instead of {{{uid=USERNAME}}}). See the attached patch for an implementation of this approach."	sumpfralle
	926	LDAP authentication: use RFC 2255 LDAP URLs for more flexibility	programming		defect		new	2014-07-26T15:59:33Z	2014-08-27T00:31:29Z	"Hi,

the current LDAP authentication plugin can only handle LDAP schemas where a usable login string is part of the entry's DN:
{{{dn: uid=john,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org}}}

Another LDAP schema looks like this:
{{{dn: cn=John Doe,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org}}}

Here the login token is usally available only as an attribute (e.g. {{{uid}}}). Thus the current {{{LDAP_USER_DN_TEMPLATE}}} cannot work with the above schema.

Other projects (e.g. LDAP authentication within the apache webserver) use the LDAP URL (see [[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2255.txt|RFC 2255]]. Such an URL allows to specify a base DN, a search scope and the attribute to be used for login matching.

Attached you find a patch that I am using for such a setup.

Maybe the old config style (based on {{{LDAP_USER_DN_TEMPLATE}}}) can be replaced with the LDAP URL, since I am not aware a use case that could not be covered with the latter one."	sumpfralle
	931	deployment documentation - switch to mediagoblin user with sudo	documentation		defect		new	2014-08-01T12:19:23Z	2014-08-01T17:23:18Z	"Switching to the mediagoblin user with sudo as mentioned in the document: http://mediagoblin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/siteadmin/deploying.html cause problems, at least with ubuntu 14.04:

===================================
No password will be assigned to this account, and you will not be able to log in as this user. To switch to this account, enter either:

'''sudo -u mediagoblin /bin/bash'''  # (if you have sudo permissions)
or:

su mediagoblin -s /bin/bash  # (if you have to use root permissions)
===============================

After using ""sudo -u mediagoblin /bin/bash"" to switch to the mediagoblin user, and executing ./bin/gmg dbupdate for example, there is an error regarding the path of the directory .python-egg which points to homedir of the user that executed the ""sudo -u mediagoblin /bin/bash"" command. If you use ""sudo su -"" first to swicht to root and then enter the second command mentioned in the doc  ""su mediagoblin -s /bin/bash"", it works perfectly. The .python-egg directory used in this case is the one in the mediagoblin user homedir. 

In my opinion, this:

===================================
No password will be assigned to this account, and you will not be able to log in as this user. To switch to this account, enter either:

'''sudo -u mediagoblin /bin/bash'''  # (if you have sudo permissions)
or:

su mediagoblin -s /bin/bash  # (if you have to use root permissions)
===============================

should be replaced for something like this:

===================================
No password will be assigned to this account, and you will not be able to log in as this user. To switch to this account, enter the following if you are logged as root:

su mediagoblin -s /bin/bash  

In case you are not logged as root, excute first ""sudo su -"" to switch to the root user and then enter the command mentioned above.

	5352	Automatically create local users on successful LDAP authentication	programming		defect		new	2015-10-11T05:11:12Z	2018-04-25T15:29:53Z	"With the auth_ldap plugin, users can be authenticated against an LDAP directory. However, upon first logging in, the MG database does not contain information about them, and asks for their email address.

#!rst
There is a mapping between the items in your collection and the
individuals allowed to view them. Those are permissions.

We'll begin implementing these by assigning each media entry an
array of authorized viewers, listed by username. Eventually, these
could be openids for federation, but that's beyond the scope of
this ticket.

Because writing a list each time you submit an item would give us
the blues, we'll have a default list editable by the user. That
list of users will be used to populate the permissions array on the
item.

Now, you may not always want the default list, so it's important to
make it easy to specify which of your 10 million fans get to see
your cat with whip cream on its head. For that, each user will be
able to maintain groups of individuals. These groups can be given
any name. Suggestions would be friends, family, etc. Those will be
enabled by default but can be removed in favor of other group
names.

So, when creating an item, you see an array of labels representing
your default sharing profile. It could be as simple as 'everyone',
or as complex as you like. Modify the sharing labels by adding or
removing individual names, or group names. Individuals and groups
can also be added to specifically exclude, but let's save that for
a future ticket.

When you submit the item the labels are interpreted and converted
to individuals for the item's permissions array.

When called upon for viewing, the item looks up the viewer in its
permissions array and allows viewing or coyly stays hidden,
depending on whether the viewer gets to see the item. This should
apply for every view - galleries, thumbnails, etc.

The fun part is that the groups the user maintains may be flagged
as private. This means you don't have to pull your hair out trying
to be political about who gets to be in which group. Chris's
example is great -

::

    SmoothBro might not show off his ""saturday night swingers"" group publicly because maybe he doesn't even want people to know about that, esp his parents.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Explore the space!

This ticket does not cover notifications, only viewing
permissions.

Currently the left part of the user's profile only contains... the
profile.

It'd be great if below that, we could have a list of tags they've
used.


-  Maybe with a number behind it telling you how many times they've
   been used.
-  If there are a lot of tags, say, more than 20 or 30, the list
   should be cut off.
-  Of course each of these tags should link to the /u/tag/X page
   and list all of the media with that tag.
-  Maybe we can add a ""show all"" link that links to a full page for
   the user's tags. Maybe a tag cloud there?

An uploaded file currently uses the name it had on the uploader's
computer, with no other way to change that than changing the local
name before uploading.

That's a privacy issue, since the uploader may not expect for the
local name to become public, and will not necessarily notice it
soon.

MediaWiki uses a good solution usable with what GMG does:
after the local file is chosen but before it is uploaded, if JS is
enabled, it shows the original file name, lets the uploader edit
it, and uses the result (replacing spaces with underscores).

That makes sense for security and possibly privacy, but sometimes it’s more of a waste of resources.

Proposal: an option to let files be used without transcoding.
* Use that way only video files up to certain dimensions (compared to the target dimensions), maybe also considering the file size (files with big video dimensions may still be OK if the file size is small).
* Transcode only the data that is not in the target format.  Thus an Ogg/Vorbis file becomes WebM/Vorbis without transcoding.
* For security reasons, the option should probably be disabled server-side by default.  Maybe (in the future) enable it for particular users or user groups.

	522	Allow to create a filesystem-like album hierachy	programming		enhancement		new	2012-10-19T13:03:12Z	2014-11-25T03:36:30Z	"When storing photographs on their computer, some people, if not all, use a filesystem hierarchy, for with paths like pictures/photographs/2012/10/mountain_hiking.

When publishing photographs on the Web, some people (well at lease me!) need to be able to define a similar hierarchy, that has to be available from the website home page to allow people to browse it easily. Here are several use cases.

I took pictures from a mountain hike, with a bunch of people. Later, I took pictures from a free software meeting, with very different people. I want to be able to publish both series of photographs and give them the address, but my hiker friends have no interest in the other photographs, and neither do my developer friends. Also, some of them want to download the full-quality pictures (as a single archive file because HTTP offers no practical way for mass-downloading) of the single event that interests him.

I participated in a pilgrimage, where several people took photographs. I want to be able to give them an access to a dedicated album, so that each photographer can upload his pictures to a dedicated sub-album.

Some of my friends are interested in my photographs, but most of them are more interested in what I do, in the activities I participate in rather than in the individual pictures. As they go to my website from time to time. To be able to determine what event I shot, they must see an appropriate, chronologically-oriented hierarchy so they are not overwhelmed by bunches of hundreds of new photographs.

I hope that was descriptive enough; if you want an example of such a hierarchy you can visit my website <http://photos.ortolo.eu/>. The most complete application of that hierarchy is <http://photos.ortolo.eu/tanguy/2012-07-22-lourdes-gavarnie/>, where the path is composed of: a user name (me, because that website also hosts pictures from another member of my family), a date and event name, and under that one sub-album per photographer."

I've noticed few stuff in the error messages that can be easily changes for a better usability.

""'''Sorry, I don't support that file type :('''""

I'll take this example only, but the tips apply to other :

- Avoid the anthropomorphism (""I don't""). It weakens the feeling of control (i.e. : I can solve this error, cause it's only a machine). 
- The error message is not the place to be verbose, the user want to understand what's wrong right away. e.g. : The ""''sorry''"" and the ""'':(''"" are unnecessary
- It lacks of information : what did I send, what's supported ?
- It comes to late (you have to fill the form all aver again... and ajax check would be in order)

Therefore the message should come right after selecting the file and should look kike this :

""oga"" support is not enabled

filetypes enabled :  jpg, png, gif, mp3, wmv

So this is an idea inspired from emacs lisp, which allows you to pass in functions to wrap a function that already exists (this is called ""advising functions"").  Actually, hooks in emacs look a heck of a lot like decorators, so actually...

Say you have this function:

{{{
  @meta_decorator_hook('some_function_hook')
  def some_function(foo):
     bla bla
}}}

Now, you want to wrap this function!  But how do you wrap it?  It's already defined, you can't just wrap arbitrary things around it! ... or can you?

In this meta_decorator_hook, the meta_decorator_hook returns a lazy-loaded method set to actually construct a chain of wrapped methods.  So if we did something like:

{{{
  pluginapi.wrap_function('some_function_hook', our_function)
}}}

.. it would return, basically a WrappedFunction() that, the first time it is executed, walks through all the decorator like methods that have been pushed onto that hook and wraps them in each other. That meta-decorated method is cached, and eventually, executed.

Sounds evil, right?  :)

This could be super powerful though.  You could do crazy things like double-check the results of a view before returning it, or totally override the view and decide not to call it at all for your plugin, call it both before and after, or set up special-case exception handling for hooks that are called within the function itself.

I'm sure I didn't make that sound any less evil, but I think it'd be really great."	Christopher Allan Webber

Without having researched it, I'd imagine what would probably be done for video is some sort of iframe? Or alternatively, a javascript snippet with parameters that add the video.js player to the existing page and then includes the video element in its place. I could look at how other video players handle this too.

For images, it's pretty trivial once the infrastructure for configuring and displaying the embed code is in place."	Nick

This would allow everyone to share ""bits"" of the file via torrent and have it play right on the page. For more information see their website: http://swarmplayer.p2p-next.org/dev.html
Their code is LGPL. It would be of huge benefit for small servers without much bandwith and should provide faster playback.

It actually wouldn't take too much work to implement into this project since most of the grunt work is done by P2P-Next. 

If we wanted to implement I would imagine it would work as follows:

1) User uploads video
1b) User is given option to enable support for SwarmPlayer, on by default?

2) MediaGoblin automagically creates tribe:// link for video and works out of the box in the media gallery. Tribe link itself can be self-hosted or via URL2Torrent website (their code is AGPL)

3) Optional support for importing of existing tribe:// videos into MediaGoblin.

Currently if an entry is reprocessed, a new filename for the preview is generated by prepending a string representation of a 16-digit hexadecimal number to the previous preview filename.

A 401 error may be appropriate, but according to [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7235#section-3.1 RFC 7235], the server must send a WWW-Authenticate Header if it responds with a 401 error, which does not make sense since MediaGoblin uses a login page.

A possible solution for this would be to make the image take the whole width in the first block (16 columns). Then the current sidebar would just be pushed down to start at the same height as the title and description."	jan

	5014	Add collection-based landing page that shows all users' collections (paginated)	programming		enhancement		review	2015-02-21T23:42:31Z	2018-10-30T19:18:40Z	"This feature would add a mediagoblin.ini configuration variable named 'most_recent_media_view' that, by default, shows the main landing page the way it is always shown now: with a paginated and reverse chronological list of media entries. It could be changed to 'Collection' to instead show a reverse chronological list of non-empty collections.

For now, a random media entry from the collection will be shown to represent the collection. In the future, this could be improved to allow the collection's creator to select a key entry to always show.

Some benefits of this change:
-Default behavior remains as-is
-Discoverability of collections is enhanced
-Allows increased customizability"	srudolph

	5212	Custom thumbnail/media sizes for video	programming		enhancement		review	2015-04-02T11:42:46Z	2018-10-30T19:14:37Z	"It would be very useful to be able to generate any number of thumbnails of different sizes from media uploaded, especially videos. This is partially related to #1042, as sharing a link to a video on MediaGoblin to another site would be helped by being able to convey appropriately sized media previews. The current thumbnails are useful for the MediaGoblin gallery, but it would be beneficial to be able to generate additional thumbnails with higher resolutions.

With the attached patch, I've taken some steps towards that, but I know far too little about MediaGoblin to make much progress beyond this. It tries to implement some sort of generic approach to generate images from videos, and supports the old thumb functionality as well a new ""share"" image, which is a higher resolution image. But both ""share"" and ""thumb"" are rather hardcoded, and it would be useful to be able to configure these sizes without modifying the code. I also don't know what else in mg is affected by this."

	5350	More notifications options	programming		enhancement		new	2015-10-10T23:46:08Z	2020-05-16T15:58:56Z	"Notifications only seem to be sent to a user when new comments are added to a media they have peviously commented on.

It would be good if email notifications could be sent when, e.g., media is added to a specific collection, or a user posts new media.

Looking at the code quickly, it seems to embed a lot of assumptions about new comments only."	Olivier Mehani
	5351	Add “private” setting to limit media view/access to logged-in users	graphic design/interface		enhancement		new	2015-10-10T23:50:48Z	2020-05-16T15:54:30Z	"MediaGoblin currently exposes all the available media to the world (e.g., on the front page or a user's page), logged in or not. In some cases, it would be good to be able to restrict access to a select few.

One way to do this would be to condition the display of media and galleries on whether a user is logged in or not.

There is also the issue of access to the file itself, which should be similarly prevented from an unlogged user.

Of course, this behaviour should be configurable through a setting option."	Olivier Mehani
	5360	Adding Collections to addmedia and batchaddmedia, and tags to batchaddmedia.	programming		enhancement		review	2015-11-21T23:32:39Z	2016-01-19T03:18:41Z	"The addmedia command allows you to specify tags to add to your submitted item, but batchaddmedia does not. Further, neither of these commands allow you to specify a collection to add your items to. I'd like these features to be added (and in fact I'm working on a patch to do just that).

For reference, here is a mailing list conversation that I started on the topic. (I'm moving the discussion here to reduce noise on the list): http://lists.mediagoblin.org/pipermail/devel/2015-November/001305.html

Current status is that I have the feature working, and I even added some tests for these two commands (which afaik were missing). However there are some error cases that I am trying to avoid introducing. I'll put details in the comments, since it's still getting hashed out. You can probably follow my progress here: https://github.com/orblivion/mediagoblin/compare/batchaddmedia-collection-tag-on-master?expand=1"	Daniel Krol

I was hoping to add some features for this workflow. So here's the changes I would make:

0) Make sure `batchaddmedia` submits the files in the csv in order (right now it loops over a dict!)
1) Add a `--start` option to specify which entry to start on
2) Add a `--stop-on-failure` option. 
3) In case of exception, output a helpful bit of text that says to add `--start 20` (for instance) to continue where you left off."	Daniel Krol

	5392	Add ability to disable uploads of media type while retaining existing media of that type	programming		enhancement		new	2016-01-15T15:51:50Z	2016-01-22T21:58:31Z	"Per a discussion in #382, I think it would be nice to be able to disable further uploads of a particular media type without having to delete all the existing media of that type. For example, let's suppose I run an instance with multiple users and people have been posting awesome cat videos. Eventually I get a notice that my VPS is running low on disk space, and I want to disable further video uploads. But I don't want to delete the existing videos!

If I were to disable the video plugin entirely, then existing videos would fail to load or lead to crashes, based on the traceback reported in #382. So instead, I'd like to have some kind of per-plugin directive that lets me keep the media type enabled while disabling future uploads.

I'm thinking something like below.

{{{
 [plugin_spec]
+# Prevent users from uploading new media of this type?
+disable_upload = boolean(default=False)
+
 # Should we keep the original file?
 keep_original = boolean(default=False)

This will add an additional layer of security should a user be able to bypass comment sanitisation (or the blogging plugin) and add some hostile JS to their content.

At the very least, we should use this to limit JS to the host static assets are on.

	5477	Browse all media	programming		enhancement		new	2016-09-21T10:37:07Z	2016-09-21T10:44:23Z	"Currently, when clicking on any media from the front page, say at `URL/`, one is redirected to the user's media page, at `URL/u/USER/m/SLUG/`. Using the arrows now only browses media for this user, rather than media as displayed on the front page.

This ticket suggests the creation of an `URL/m/SLUG` route, which essentially displays the media as the `/u/USER` one, but allows to browse media across users. Link on the front page would lead to those pages, while links from `URL/u/USER` would lead to the currently existing page.

Actually, the same should also apply for collection: links in `URL/u/USER/collections/COLLECTION` should lead to, say, `URL/u/USER/c/COLLECTION/m/SLUG`, and navigation on those page should only be within media in the named collection."	Olivier Mehani
	5480	WebTorrent	programming		enhancement		new	2016-10-06T09:32:18Z	2016-10-08T10:50:14Z	"There is already a proposal in issue #779 to support a p2p content distribution technology. Sadly SwarmPlayer doesn't seem well at the moment - even the hosting organisation p2p-next seems down.

Luckily there is a new candidate out now to help people distribute content to a large audience. A streaming BitTorrent Client written in JavaScript and running in the browser.

Providing this would also mean, that we get a torrent for every video for free. So users may also download the content with their BitTorrent Client and seed (distribute) it."	hex
	5489	user_ldap: Log something on failure due to SSL problems	programming		enhancement		new	2016-11-03T11:06:18Z	2017-10-09T03:13:30Z	"The SSL certificate of my LDAP server lapsed yesterday. I renwed it but forgot to restart the server.

My MediaGoblin instance authenticates users against this LDAP server, and started refusing logins, showing just “Login failed” in the UI.

Nothing appeared in the log suggesting that, rather than an invalid user or password, the reason of the failure was an SSL error when connecting to the server.

It would be good to log this explicitely, to help debugging those weird issues."	Olivier Mehani
	5566	Display uploaded file size sum vs upload limit	programming		enhancement		new	2018-04-10T17:23:36Z	2018-04-10T17:23:53Z	"There's a configuration option to set an upload limit, but there's no mechanism to display to a user how much of that limit is being used. I would like to add a display of the user's consumed upload limit viewable only by the user. Since it's possible to modify the upload limit on a per-user basis in the database, we should read the upload limit on a per-user basis instead of reading the global upload limit set in mediagoblin.ini.

For sites that haven't implemented an upload limit, I think it's still nice to show a user how much data they've uploaded. In this case, perhaps we could show something like ""450 MB / Unlimited"" or something similar."	ayleph
	5568	LDAP Plguin doesn't work well with Active Directory	programming		enhancement		review	2018-04-11T13:52:45Z	2021-09-20T17:39:17Z	"All,
  In implementing GMG in our Active Directory Environment, I discovered that it doesn't work particularly well with AD. I've generated a patch for some changes that I've made. Some of the changes are specific to AD, but some of them should be more generic for any LDAP implementation. I've also attempted to clarify the documentation, since I had to do to quite a bit of code reading to even find what all of the LDAP config options were.

  The changes in this patch are tested against my AD environment, and are known to be working -- I'll probably be rolling this out to production this week. I do hope to get an OpenLDAP implementation set up so that I can also test against it, but in reality I am probably quite a ways from it.

  I wasn't able to find a style guide, so I hope that my code is up to snuff. It is my first ever patch of this sort, so please be gentle. I'm happy to answer any questions."	Meaulnes
	5600	Mention a mail server in deployment docs	documentation		enhancement		new	2020-04-28T15:45:08Z	2021-09-19T13:28:47Z	"This could be as simple as ``apt install postfix``, which will pretty well work out of the box.

There is more too it that we could mention in ""considerations for production deployments"". The system would require a reverse DNS entry though and some hosts like AWS automatically blacklist mail from EC2 servers, and require you to use a third-party SMTP service, which you can configure in Postfix.

Personally, I really do like having something like Postfix in the mix rather than hooking MediaGoblin directly to third-party SMTP."	Ben Sturmfels

	5064	Add option to override ./configure'd virtualenv	programming		defect		new	2015-03-13T20:34:53Z	2016-02-22T22:58:53Z	"`./configure` searches for `virtualenv` in the following order:

- `virtualenv`
- `virtualenv3`
- `virtualenv2`

Once a match is found, the search terminates. If a user has both python2 and python3 installed, then the python3 `virtualenv` may be configured for use, even when `--with-python3` is not specified. This results in an error for users who intend to use (or need to use) python2.

In the case of Arch Linux, `virtualenv` is the python3 package, and `virtualenv2` is the python2 package. When I run `./configure` without specifying `--with-python3`, the python3 `virtualenv` is configured even though I didn't intend to use python3. To fix this, I must manually edit Makefile as follows before running `make`.

{{{
-VIRTUALENV = virtualenv
+VIRTUALENV = virtualenv2
}}}

Some options for how to deal with this come to mind.

Does `./configure` support interactive configuration? If so, we could consider searching for all `virtualenv`s and then asking the user which one they want to use.

The undocumented `--with-virtualenv` switch [1] could be extended to accept a path to the desired executable.

If distributions consistently use `virtualenv2` for python2 and use `virtualenv` (or `virtualenv3`) exclusively for python3, perhaps we could tie the selection of `virtualenv` to the python version specified in configuration.

[1] `--with-virtualenv` is a programmed option in `./configure`, but it isn't shown in `./configure --help`. See issue #5022."	ayleph

#!rst
Currently, computed (processed) data is stored alongside ""original""
data in the database. Most notable example are comments and the
rendered html for them.

There are various reasons for not storing them at the same place:


-  If the options for processing (the created html) changes, a
   migration must be added to convert all existent entries. Or if the
   user changes the options, they have to let every entry be updated.
   Think of large installations! With a cache style setup, one simply
   drops the cache and it will be recreated as needed.
-  It's cleaner layout of the db.
-  Also maybe an option for backup: Many people only want the
   ""original"" stuff in the backup, as everything else can be
   regenerated as needed.

An alternative is to drop the pre-rendered stuff from the db and
create it ""on the fly"" as needed.

	260	A way for a reader to see thumbnails/resized versions in other sizes	programming		enhancement		accepted	2011-09-16T13:54:00Z	2012-08-13T17:32:26Z	"{{{
#!rst
The reader should be able to view galleries and image pages with
the images resized to other sizes than a single default one: it is
not possible for the browser to scale thumbnails up infinitely
without losing their quality.

Examples:


-  Flickr has at least ""small"" and ""medium"" gallery views, and
   several sizes for viewing and downloading of individual images.
-  MediaWiki allows registered users to choose from several
   thumbnail sizes for viewing of pages, and to generate a thumbnail
   of any size.

#!rst
reason:
the more the media is used/(reused as mix) the higher the
importance probably
for me as creator as well as observer this would be a nice to have

implementaion:
- trackback (as with blog posts)? perhaps over an additional
service where people can send a ping to when they use the media?
- a bot which scans for media + indexes them somehow?

#!rst
It would be great to have the interface accessible via keyboard
shortcuts.

Examples
- Links such as
- Logged in user
- Log out
- Login
- Forms
- Picture navigation
- Pagination

I like the way FogBugz has done it, you click Ctrl+, and it shows
the shortcut character for each of the links/subsections/inputs.
You then click the shortcut character to activate the control. Of
course, that does not fit for all things, such as media
navigation.

Input is welcome. (ahah, pun intended)

#!rst
I think that at some time we will need to include ads support, and
that for this it could be ideal the open-source advertising server
OpenX.

I've written more details in my wiki user page, since I think this
will need a lot of literature:

	351	Markdown editor	programming		enhancement		accepted	2011-12-08T18:08:00Z	2013-03-25T06:45:07Z	"{{{
#!rst
Add a markdown editor for textareas which use markdown (to improve
user experience). Solutions exist under *possibly* free licenses.
Most are based off StackOverflow's reversed engineered WMD editor
(which might or might not be under a free license). Original
reverse engineering project:
`https://github.com/cky/wmd/tree <https://github.com/cky/wmd/tree>`_
(with 112 forks)

So implementation is in three steps:


-  Check with lawyers about possible implications of using a
   reverse engineered WMD editor version
-  If OK, find a good fork which suits MediaGoblin's needs
-  Find all markdown input fields in code and add the editor (along
   with tweaking and making it pretty)

	541	Use versioned API URLs	programming		enhancement	joar	new	2012-11-16T11:33:09Z	2013-03-20T14:48:14Z	"The API development is phantastic, but it is bound to evolve and change heavily over time. To make things easier (ie more stable) for client developers, we should provide a versioned API. ie

use /api/1/entries/ /api/1/submit for now. This way we can deprecate existing API and replace it with newer one without constantly breaking clients.

Perhaps a /api/version call could return a list of supported API versions.

I think this should be done before MG becomes too widespread as breaking compatability is going to become harder then.

Does this sound sensible? I could help working on that if needed."	spaetz
	572	Move Columns from MediaEntry to ProcessingMetaData	programming		enhancement		new	2012-12-17T11:53:24Z	2015-06-22T21:37:56Z	"There is a new table for data used while (or at the end of) processing. It's currently only used for the callback url. We should use it for more things. So I propose to move various columns from `MediaEntry` into `ProcessingMetaData`.

Possible columns:
* transcoding_progress
* queued_task_id
* queued_media_file (*)
* fail_error (*)
* fail_metadata (*)

After a successful processing, none of these are needed.
After a failed processing, those with (*) might be needed for various reasons. We should rethink that part maybe anyway."	Elrond
	590	Provide Markdown formatting options rather than linking to Markdown website	graphic design/interface		enhancement		new	2013-01-09T03:32:06Z	2013-01-09T03:32:06Z	"When a new user is setting up their profile, the website text tells them that they can use Markdown, and links them to the Markdown website.

A better approach might be to do what Reddit does when allowing users to add basic text formatting to their comments. Reddit just has a link that says ""Formatting Help,"" which displays text formatting options when someone clicks on it. It displays things as, ""You Type"" and ""You See"", which I think makes sense for less technical users who might not know or care much about Markdown. Just showing the formatting options would help them do what they need to do without having to review the Markdown website."	Jim Campbell

I plan to introduce a ""liberate my data"" button which exports a users media metadata, URLS, tags, comments etc.... into a json file. 

This service should also include the URL to the original media file (rather than the media file itself), so that an import slurper can upload the media directly from the old instance.
We should probably also provide a sample script which would download the media files of a user to their hard drive again.

What do people think of this?"	spaetz

It would be simple to set up, and would provide a common platform for theme hosting and user theme discovery. The core themes could be
maintained directly in the repository, and any user-contributed themes could be listed / provided as git submodules.

To be included, each theme should ideally include at least one screenshot of the theme as deployed and state which MG versions it is valid against.

I know this might sound very picky and even stupid, but stating ""MB"", in caps, would be wrong, because the real unit used for files is, universally, but commonly misnamed, the mebibyte, MiB.

It's commonly misnamed as ""MB"" for historical reasons, and even if incorrect, I can understand the resistance to change.

But stating ""mb"" is wrong in all levels. Mega is ""M"", not ""m"" (which could be 'meters'), and ""b"" means bits, not bytes.

I'm providing a patch to be less annoying in case you feel this is an acceptable change. I hope it's well done, it comes from a ""git diff""

This could be of interest to people downloading files (especially potentially large video files). It would also be useful for sites that have implemented the user upload limit as it gives the user a way to see how much space each file takes up.	ayleph

I currently do this by manually editing the values in the database, but perhaps we could add this functionality to an administrator page on the web interface or to a gmg subcommand.	ayleph
