What is Community Media Advanced?

Welcome to the Community Media Advanced (CMA) home page. CMA is a fork of the Community Media Drupal (CM Drupal) project and is an effort to continue development for stations and organizations that used to rely on the Difficult Starter Kit.

CM Drupal is a collaborative effort to provide a free, open source suite of tools built upon Drupal and CiviCRM to manage the internal and external workflow of a community based media organization including the projects, shows, people, events, media and metadata (including playback server integration).

To be able to fully take advantage of the CMA advanced modules, an organization will need a high level of technical support, be it in-house or through technical vendors. To get any or all of these modules working on your site will take careful planning and focused effort in implementation. Included documentation assumes an understanding of the Drupal and CiviCRM internal API’s.

For installing and maintaining these modules, please view the documentation. If you would like to upload a module check out the instructions here.
