Albe Terra	Monday 22 September 2008 5:29:27 am Hi! I have to create a custom content class that should contain: -one image with a caption -one video with a text description -one file attachment with the file name Which are the best attributes to use for this class? I know that for the image, for example, there's the image datatype, but it has no possibility to add a caption. The idea could be to add a "text line" datatype for the caption. The same can be done for the description of the video and the name of the attachment. Do you have a better idea? Thanks, Albe

Seems like exactly what should be done (other than programming your custom datatypes). -- Company: mediaSELF Sp. z o.o., http://www.mediaself.pl eZ references: http://ez.no/partners/worldwide_partners/mediaself eZ certified developer: http://ez.no/certification/verify/272585 eZ blog: http://ez.ryba.eu

Hi!
I have to create a custom content class that should contain:

-one image with a caption
-one video with a text description
-one file attachment with the file name

Which are the best attributes to use for this class?
