I was working on a client project that was using the flexslider field formatter to display both images and video. They wanted the videos (using oEmbed to add videos from youtube) to render in a player, but they were rendering as broken images. This is because, while the flexslider module supports the file field type, it tries to render everything as an image.
function flexslider_fields_field_formatter_view($entity_type, $entity, $field, $instance, $langcode, $items, $display) {
$element = array();
if (count($items) > 0) {
foreach ($items as $key => $item) {
if(isset($item['item'])) continue;
$tmp = $item;
$item = array();
$item['item'] = $tmp;
// Setup the variables for calling theme_image_style
if (isset($item['item']['uri'])) {
$item['slide']['path'] = $item['item']['uri'];
}
if (isset($display['settings']['image_style'])) {
$item['slide']['style_name'] = $display['settings']['image_style'];
}
if (isset($item['item']['width'])) {
$item['slide']['width'] = $item['item']['width'];
}
if (isset($item['item']['height'])) {
$item['slide']['height'] = $item['item']['height'];
}
if (isset($item['item']['alt'])) {
$item['slide']['alt'] = $item['item']['alt'];
}
if (isset($item['item']['title'])) {
$item['slide']['title'] = $item['item']['title'];
}
// Render the slide item
// If not style set, we have to call theme_image since theme_image_style
// doesn't auto-fallback to full size image
if (!empty($item['slide']['style_name'])) {
// Generate the HTML for the slide
$item['slide'] = theme('image_style', $item['slide']);
}
else {
// Generate the HTML for the slide
$item['slide'] = theme('image', $item['slide']);
}
// Check caption settings
if ($display['settings']['caption']) {
$item['caption'] = filter_xss($item['item']['title']);
}
$items[$key] = $item;
}
$element = array(
'#theme' => 'flexslider',
'#items' => $items,
'#settings' => $display['settings'],
);
}
return $element;
}
My custom module creates a custom field formatter that re-writes this functionality to better support video. It will render images the same way as the flexslider field formatter, but will check to see if it is a video and if it is, will render the entity using a specified view mode instead of just using theme_image_style
