DAMo - Distribution
===================

[](#damo---distribution)

Drupal 8 distribution to kickstart Digital Assets Management projects.

Important note
--------------

[](#important-note)

Heavily under development, not yet usable.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Using the [DAMo composer project](https://github.com/brainsum/damo-project) is recommended.

User roles
----------

[](#user-roles)

- **Media API** user is for the API users, e.g. for an interconnected Drupal system where the [https://www.drupal.org/project/filefield\_sources\_jsonapi](https://www.drupal.org/project/filefield_sources_jsonapi) module is installed.
- **Agency** is for external users like graphic designers/agencies, photographers. They can just upload media assets for approval, which means a Manager will need to approve (publish) them first before they appear in the DAM library.
- **Authenticated user** is for simple "read-only" users, they can browse, search, view, download assets.
- **Manager** is the highest level regarding the DAM functionality. They can fully manage the content of the DAM.
- **Administrator** is like a superuser who can manage users, but also the full settings of the site. Give it only to people who know Drupal.

Drupal 9 upgrade info
---------------------

[](#drupal-9-upgrade-info)

`0.27.x` versions pave the path for full Drupal 9 readiness and contain breaking changes. Sites created with `0.26.2` or prior need to do the following manual steps before upgrading to Drupal 9:

Note, although uninstalled from Drupal, the composer.json still contains them. They are deprecated, and are going to be removed in `0.28.0`.

Drupal 9 blocker issues:

- [Exif](https://www.drupal.org/project/exif) is not ready (Note: dev is ready, but there's no release that's compatible)
- [Term Merge](https://www.drupal.org/project/term_merge) is not ready (Note: dev is ready, but there's no release that's compatible)

Upgrade path from 0.26 or earlier:

- Step 1: Upgrade to `0.27.2`, do a full release.
- Step 2: Upgrade to `0.27.8`, do a full release.
- Final step: Upgrade to `0.28.0`, do a full release.

Changelog

- 0.27.0:
    - `better_formats` is a dead module with no D9 compatibility. If you need features from it:
        - Back up your config and prepare to migrate to `allowed_formats`
        - Update to `0.27.0` (this uninstalls the `better_formats` module)
        - Add `allowed_formats` and configure it
        - See: [https://www.drupal.org/project/allowed\_formats](https://www.drupal.org/project/allowed_formats)
    - `brainsum/jquery_ui_datepicker` was built on the core datepicker library but that has been removed in D9, meaning the module has been removed.
        - If it's still needed, some compatibility waw achieved in the new 3.0 version, but the CSS is broken (although the widget is still usable).
            - Users should not upgrade to this but use a different module instead. As of now no replacement module is available.
        - In line with this module getting removed the `field_expiration_date` field has been also removed from the default config.
- 0.27.1:
    - `maillog` has no Drupal 9 compatibility. Recommended alternative is to send mails to a middleman services (e.g mailhog) until `maillog` receives proper support.
    - `exception_mailer` has no Drupal 9 compatibility. There's no recommended alternative, you need to wait for proper Drupal 9 support.
- 0.27.2:
    - `media_entity_video` is no longer needed as core has a `video_file` media source. This version includes the community patch that does the migration to the core media source.
- 0.27.4:
    - `r4032login` is incompatible with Drupal 9, so it's getting uninstalled.
    - Reverted in `0.27.6` to avoid the uninstall happening before the module's update hooks are running:
        - `media_entity_video` is no longer needed, so it's getting uninstalled.
- 0.27.6:
    - Revert uninstall of `media_entity_video`
- 0.27.7:
    - Allow some major version upgrades
- 0.27.8:
    - Bugfixes
