hi First off: thanks for the replies. Modifying the module so it can use dam is not interesting for us, because we don't intent on using that. What we are actually looking for is a way to work with different media from different sources. We already have an image server that contains a huge amount of data, and one of the things i would like to find out is if the meda module can be extended (by us :-) ) to integrate with this system.
But first things first. I got the selection of images to work, and now i actually want to show the image using The el functions that are part of the media tld. My assumption is that i should first use getContent([mediaSelection]) to get the content node, and then something like getUrl([contentNode]) and so on. Perhaps to my shame I find it a trifle hard to access these functions in my freemaker template. I am new to freemaker, but it seems straightforward. First declare the taglib: [#assign media=JspTaglibs["http://net.sourceforge.openutils/mgnlMedia";]] Then get the content Node: $...@media.getnode("b83d0546-759c-43a3-8ceb-d63a2eda5723")} does not work: Expression @media is undefined [...@media.getnode("b83d0546-759c-43a3-8ceb-d63a2eda5723") /] does not work: Expression media.getNode is undefined [...@media.getnode "b83d0546-759c-43a3-8ceb-d63a2eda5723" /] does not work: media.getNode not found so, I'm out of ideas. Could anyone point my nose in the right direction please? regards, Ernst 2009/11/11 Grégory Joseph <gregory.jos...@magnolia-cms.com>: > > > On Nov 11, 2009, at 3:14 PM, Will Scheidegger wrote: > >> >> Check the archives... a few days back I asked the same question.
