Hi
Is it possible to use a flash file as an billboard in eZ Publish 3.9?
When I try to use a flash file as an billboard, the name of the file is the only thing that shows up on the page. But when I try to insert a flash file in the bottom column, the file shows up normally.

Hi Lasse,

Billboard uses image datatype. But you can extend banner class with media datatype, then update banner templates.

Can anyone translate that into plain English, perhaps with a quick example?

If I install 3.9 and want to 4 sites/views (siteaccess), where one of them is the public-facing www site... and it needs to have Flash for the "billboard object" instead of an image, then how do I edit it such that the other views/sites (such as intranet, extranet, whatever) do not see/use the Flash?

In otherwords, how do I assign different billboards to different views? And how do you handle it when one is Flash and, perhaps, the others are regular images?

EDIT:

To put Flash on the homepage, it will replace the image as the "billboard" object. That "billboard" is considered to be in the "Banner" class, which allows for images by default but not Flash.

You can update that to allow Flash by going into the Administrator view, select Setup from the top tabs, then choose Classes from the lefthand links. A resulting list of classes is returned, where you can locate Banner and click the Edit button.

Now you are at the Class Edit Interface reference in the tech manual. Here you can add an attribute for Media datatype for Flash.

Also, I believe you have to uncheck the "Required" flag on Images (but I'm not sure because I've not yet figure out all the other steps in the long process required to get Flash on the homepage).

This is fixed in svn, it's fixed by adding support for selecting flash objects as banner and not just images.
Edit: Partly fixed..
