Description

When uploading media, the licensing options don't give enough information for most people to make an informed choice.

The current list is:
All rights reserved
CC BY 3.0
CC BY-SA 3.0
CC BY-ND 3.0
CC BY-NC 3.0
CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
CC BY-NC-ND 3.0
CC0 1.0
Public Domain

Propose better options, helptexts, or perhaps a block of text that changes based on your choice.

It would be good after you select a license if there were some sort of textbox beneath it that explained what it meant, or something.

Milestone: 0.3.1

This didn't make it into 0.3.1 as far as I can tell.

If someone wants to work on this for 0.3.2, please assign yourself and set the milestone to 0.3.2.

Milestone: 0.3.20.3.3

Moving this to 0.3.3... it's not a blocker.

Taking myself off this, as I don't think I'll be able to work on it anytime soon, and other seem to be working on the related licensing issue.

Keywords: bitesized added

I'm marking this as bitesized. It shouldn't be difficult to do at all: it's really just adding a few fields to the license list and adding a bit to the templates.

There's some question of whether or not we might change the way this works with a more robust plugin per conversations in #395 but in the meanwhile, this small change would really help us out a lot (and would help figure out how to improve such a plugin also.)

pythonsnake pointed out that this is *not* bitesized as it might require hacking the wtforms select field to do some magic. removing bitesized tag.

Update: this is done, but I need to update it to work with a recent MediaGoblin version (my hacking instance is a bit out-of-date).

Hi! I'm moving this ticket from "assigned" to in_progress per our new workflow. Please update the ticket and let us know if you're still working on this. If you are, super great! If not, we'll remove the claim and move it back to "accepted" in a couple of weeks.

Thanks!

I was testing out this code, and it seems to work fine on the submit page, but on the edit_account page, I get the following error:

If you could also rebase it against master in the process, that would be great. Thanks

comment:20 by pythonsnake, 11 years ago

Fixed, thanks for pointing that out. I'm doing the tests now.

Milestone: 0.7.00.8.0

I'm bumping this to 0.8.0, but if it doesn't really make it in 0.8.0, the milestone should be removed so as to avoid milestone-bump spam.

comment:25 by Christopher Allan Webber, 10 years ago

Milestone: 0.8.0

And removed. We still want it done though.
