Uploading media files #32

Users will be able to upload images and other media files (sound files, videos) into a dictionary and link to them from XML elements and attributes in entries. When formatting entries for display Lexonomy will make sure the media files are presented appropriately (images are displayed, sound and videos are playable).

Adam Rambousek 18 Sep, 2018 Schema: select file type (audio, video, image). Upload files to directory (separete for each dictionary). In XML link to URL.

iztok.kosem@ijs.si 26 Oct, 2018 We have already done this with audio files. Works fine but the users needs to be able to upload the files themselves (at the moment, Lexonomy administrator has to do it).

This affects a lot of places in Lexonomy (and Xonomy).

This should be split into multiple tasks because it actually is a set of independent tasks:

the first and easiest is the display of multimedia which would be just links (URL) to media files hosted elsewhere
next would be the option of saving multimedia directly in the database
finally the option of uploading/editing the multimedia by users

iztokkosem commented 5 years ago

One option that is currently supported is to create the link based on atribute value (I guess links are automatically created from that), with the file being stored on a server (in this case it was Michal's). We used this for audio files in Slovenian-Hungarian dictionary. It would be good to have the documentation how to set this up on our local server.

requires #186 first

rambousek commented 2 years ago

Currently, it is possible to use media files hosted on users own storage.

Do we want users to upload media files to Lexonomy server? @mjakubicek @iztokkosem

Hello, I learned how to add image in Lexonomy by adding URL. A picture can be simply added by inserting its URL address into one element of your dictionary entry. For example:

https://pixy.org/src/477/4775759.png

But for Audio I could not don't I don't know how to create a URL for my audio. There are websites like Forvo.com with all audios I need, but the URL does not work. Do I need to have my own cloud to connect audios.
