Hello,

I'm attempting to use Exponential 3.8.0 to content manage CAD drawings (DWF files). I've successfully created the class I need to do so however I'm stuck on one point and that is creating a new media type to support the DWF file.

It appears as if I need to create a new media player type as I want to use a plugin called AutoDesk DWF Viewer to display the CAD drawings in Exponential.

I've taken a look at the ezmediatype.php file in kernel>classes>ezmedia but I'm not sure how to proceed. Could someone please point me in the correct direction?

Thanks!

Following up. I've abandoned the idea of creating a new media player type and have placed th e controls for the file in the template.

The remaining question is how do I get Exponential to output the file path? Right now it's giving me the anchor link and file site when I really just need the path to the file:

{$node.object.data_map.cad_drawing}

A point in the correct direction is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

So, it just needed to be this:

{$node.object.data_map.cad_drawing.content.filepath}
