About
Use the Theme & layout tab to control how the media page is displayed to viewers, including which player is used and which elements appear on the page.
This feature requires the following to be enabled:
- ThemingMedia module
- Theming module with the 'mediapage' and 'editmedia' features set to 'Yes'
Who can use this
- Media owners
- Co-editors
Access the Theme & layout tab
- From the user menu, select My Media.
- Click the three dots to the right of the desired media and select Edit.
- In the left navigation, select Theme & layout.
The 'My Media' page displays.
Alternatively, you can access the edit page from the media page by clicking the three dots below the player and selecting Edit.
The edit page opens on the Details tab by default, with a left-hand navigation.
The Theme & layout page displays. After making changes, click Save in the top-right corner to apply them.
Choose which player is used
In the Media player section, select a player from the dropdown.
- Only players configured and made available by your administrator appear in the list.
- If only one player is available, the player selector is hidden and the default player is used.
- If a selected player is no longer available, the system automatically switches back to the default player.
You can select Set as embed player. When selected, this player is used when this media is embedded elsewhere. This option appears only when a custom player is selected.
Preview the media in the player
Use this section to preview how the media appears in the player.
- The preview reflects the current player configuration.
- Playback behavior follows the player’s settings.
- The preview updates automatically.
If no player is available for the media type, the preview section isn’t shown.
Show or hide page elements
In the Show elements section, you can select or clear the checkboxes to control which elements appear on the media page. All elements are selected by default - select or clear the checkboxes as needed.
- Header
- Header logo
- Sidebar (for example, related media)
- Title & Actions bar*
- Creation date & owner
- Description
- Tags
- 'Appears in' indication
- Current channel
- Custom data
- Speakers
- Footer
- The available elements depend on your site configuration and enabled modules.
- When elements are removed, remaining components automatically maintain spacing between sections.
- Changes apply only to the media page and don't affect the edit page.
*If you hide the Title & Actions bar, users will no longer see media title or actions (for example, Share or the three-dot menu).
To edit the media, go to My Media and select Edit from the three-dot menu, or use the direct link to the media using the base url “/edit/EntryID”, for example, https://mysiteurl.com/edit/1_9uu685yf.
