TEMA:

Thanks Marcus, I think I have it working properly now. My apologies for the beginner questions, I am just learning. This appears to be a very flexible extension and as I learn more I am excited as to what I will be able to do with it.

Thanks Markus that worked fantastic.

Now when I'm styling the content template i'm trying to figure out the {/hide} tags. I have made several attempts to implement it and I couldn't find anything in the documentation. I have tried wrapping a div with my content between the hide tags and used the id as defined in the view. Is this correct?

**UPDATE***

Ok I figured out that the hide tags can go at the top of the template, but I was hoping that I could hide more than just the value. For example I added an icon next to the download box, but I want to hide that icon if there is no file to download. Should this be done in the php for the download plugin? Ideally I'd like a different icon for each mime type, but for now I would be satisfied with just a simple folder icon.

Hi,

you can put everything between the hide tag what should be hidden, but you cannot nest hide-tags.
If you need to nest hide tags, then you would need some php in the editable content tab of the view settings.

So my question is if you need nested hiding or not?

Regards,
Markus

I tried the tagging as you suggested and it worked perfect this time. I think it was a problem with my editor stripping the tags from the code. I think I'd like to tackle custom icons for different mime uploads. Can I call the mime variable and assign a custom icon image for each type? I attached a screen cap to demonstrate what I am talking about. I would like the folder icon to change according to the type of file in the download link. BTW, you have such an excellent product and you have been so helpful that I am working with my supervisor to purchase a support package

Ok, one last one,

Is there a parameter that can be passed to the CBVideo plugin that forces the Uniform Scaling option in JWPlayer? I have been digging and have yet to find it. Or is there some other way? I have set the height and width parameters but JWPlayer still forces the video to play at a different aspect ratio with white bars on the side.

I appreciate anyone's assistance on this one.

Thanks

I don't know if all the players follow the same rules for settings. I doubt it. For Youtube there is lots of info on the Youtube API. Try this one as a starting point
