Sprout Video

In this series we look at how to integrate rich media into your Drupal website. In our example we build out a fully functional website for a band. In this lesson we take a look at what our client's needs are: to share their music and videos with their fans, and have a blog and news site with contact information.

We take a look at the modules and tools – Drupal core, Views, the Media package, music players and image display tools – we need to build the site. We'll wrap things up by actually taking a tour of the finished website so that you can see what it is that we're aiming for in this series.

Note: This series covers Media Module version 1.x. To learn about Media Module 2.x, check out our Using Drupal Chapter 4: Media Management series.
