How use "media library" to add assets to an article.

Thursday 09 August 2007 1:15:27 pm

Well I don't know how else to put it. The title says it all. When I edit an article and try to click on the paper clip to add an object and select "existing" I am presented with only items in the site folder tree, nothing from the backside is offered. How do I access these assets when working wit an article? I have flv files that have been uploaded into the media library. I would like to use these in articles. I have searched the forum, but all answers were out of date and not helpful in this regard.

Right this second I am wondering what the point of the media library is. It seems like the functionality is missing to take advantage of it.

Thanks!

I am new to ez publish so I appreciate any insight if I am taking the workflow the wrong way :)

Hi R

You can use the view parameter when embedding other objects to choose in which view mode they will be displayed, see: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_9/reference/xml_tags#object_embedding. (please don't take into account the link that's currently under the text "view" in the description column of the "view" parameter, it is wrong in this context, I'll contact the doc team to fix this: http://issues.ez.no/11250 ).
