v0.8.0 - You Give Me.. Choosers!

This relase brings a ton of improvements.

To start with, wagtailmedia is now 100% compatible with Wagtail 2.13+ when used in StreamFields. The media chooser now uses the correct media upload forms and should pick up any customisations you make.

Settings

We moved to a single WAGTAILMEDIA setting dictionary and introduced allowed lists for the audio and video extension. Support for the old WAGTAILMEDIA_MEDIA_MODEL and WAGTAILMEDIA_MEDIA_FORM_BASE settings will be removed in the release after next (v0.10.0)

# settings.py

WAGTAILMEDIA = {
    "MEDIA_MODEL": "",  # string, dotted-notation. Defaults to "wagtailmedia.Media"
    "MEDIA_FORM_BASE": "",   # strind, dotted-notation. Defaults to an empty string
    "AUDIO_EXTENSIONS": [],  # list of extensions
    "VIDEO_EXTENSIONS": [],  # list of extensions
}

New chooser types

• MediaChooserPanel accepts the media_type keyword argument (kwarg) to limit the types of media that can be chosen or uploaded. At the moment only "audio" (MediaChooserPanel(media_type="audio")) and "video" (MediaChooserPanel(media_type="audio")) are supported, and any other type will make the chooser behave as if it did not get any kwarg.
• AudioChooserBlock and VideoChooserBlock can be used in StreamField

# ...
from wagtailmedia.blocks import AudioChooserBlock, VideoChooserBlock


class BlogPage(Page):
    # ...

    body = StreamField([
        # ... other block definitions
        ('audio', AudioChooserBlock(icon='media')),
        ('video', VideoChooserBlock(icon='media')),
    ])
