SonataMediaBundle - Media management on steroids

The SonataMediaBundle is a media library based on a dedicated provider which handles different type of media: files, videos or images.

The online documentation of the bundle is in http://sonata-project.org/bundles/media

For contribution to the documentation you cand find it on Resources/doc/

Each type is managed by a provider service which is in charge of:

• retrieving media metadata
• generating media thumbnail
• tweaking the edit form
• rendering the media

Each media can be linked to a context. A context can be news, user or any name you want. A context allows you to group a set of pictures together. As requirements can be different for each context, a context is defined by a set of formats and a set of providers.

As the infrastructure is not standard, the MediaBundle abstracts the filesystem layer and the cdn layer.

The backend is handled by the AdminBundle.
