	176	Return behavior after adding media is non-intuitive	ui		defect	2011-08-02T02:04:00Z	"{{{
#!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.

	244	GIF images work on media pages in most (of my personally experianced) cases, but not all.	graphic design/interface		defect	2011-09-05T17:13:00Z	"{{{
#!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.

   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?

	263	A way to choose filename different from the before-upload one	programming		enhancement	2011-09-16T15:22:00Z	"{{{
#!rst
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).

	1004	Videoplayer has wrong height for videos with width>640	programming		defect	2014-10-20T16:28:12Z	"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 %}

          preload=""auto"" class=""video-js vjs-default-skin"">

 * I hardcoded 640, but it should be retrieved somehow.

	1070	Handling languages Babel currently doesn't (Na'vi, Lojban)	infrastructure		defect	2014-12-12T21:35:24Z	"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 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.

	613	Improving Media collection	programming		enhancement	2013-01-31T16:52:12Z	"Summary of changes : 

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.

I think the handling of videos on ""Media""goblin is a big problem.
You cant enjoy Videos in that damn bad quality!

So i think, okey lets transcode to webm Files on the Client PCs before uploading - no, you can forget it! 
The Player Interface is a bad Joke on untranscoded Files!

[[Image(http://barn.kerosenecow.net/mgoblin_media/media_entries/435/indexed-degradation.png)]]

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.

	126	sharing and permissions	programming		enhancement	2011-07-03T14:03:00Z	"{{{
#!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.

	162	add quoting support to tagging	programming		enhancement	2011-07-25T00:09:00Z	"{{{
#!rst
Tagging (`#360 </issues/360>`_) needs to be iterated on. This
ticket addresses support for quoting. What are the expected
behaviors? In the following examples, user input is underlined, and
resulting tags are indented.


-  In the simple case (assuming comma-delimited text), the user has
   a single pair of quotes embedded within the input, such as:
   meta,'yo dawg, I heard you like delimiters...',humor

    u'meta'


    u'yo dawg, I heard you like delimiters...'


    u'humor'



-  what about mixed quotes? (eg user wants *you're* in the tag)
   meme,""I don't even..."",humor

    u'meme'


    u'I don't even'


    u'humor'



-  then, as Will noted in IRC, some users may wish to tag using xml
   or hierarchical organization schemes. At what point does supporting
   quoting become complex enough to warrant using a plugin?

**tl;dr - introduce support for tag delimiter(s) within a tag. Efforts towards native gmg support go here. Add a new ticket for plugin work**

Feel fix this ticket if I'm missing the point or the point is not
clear.

	638	meta-decorator hooks / emacs-lisp style advice	programming		enhancement	2013-02-14T20:52:57Z	"This is an incredibly evil and flexible idea that, like decorators itself, is probably elegant, hard to understand, powerful, and yes, a little bit evil.

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."	2013-07-11T18:25:09Z	Christopher Allan Webber

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.

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

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