Sounds like it could be really useful in principle.
If sponsors wanted to sponsor only a certain section of your site, or you had different sections of your site under completely independent control. I haven't tried it yet though (got a few other things to workout first ;)) Cheers Tim

I think... This is great! I sent this to a friend of ours, who was basically doing this the hard way before now. It just made cents as a simple way to simplify his development / maintenance time.

Yes, it works with all 3.5 versions.
All x.x.* versions just contain bugfixes and no api changes. I have also made some quick tests with 3.6, so it should also work fine with that one.

You simply enter the url of your ez install and then you append for example banner/upload to it. For example:
http://localhost/ez/index.php/siteaccess/banner/upload
or if you have set up vhosts in apache:
http://example.ez.local/banner/upload Hope this helps

<i>About the update of the database : I have to use the update.sql file.</i>
Yes. And i now realized that it missed an column definition.
You can either download version 0.3.1 with the corrected file, or you apply the alter.sql file to your db. <i>There is a special template file ?</i>
Take a look at the manual. There you see an example of how to call the template function. Just place that snippet in your template of interest and then the image path and alt text get placed in an array.
I am not sure if mention that in the docs, but you can then output them like this. {$array.img} or {$array.alt}
And if this doesnt work just do {$array|attribute(show)}, then you can see how i named the elements.

Hi Bernhard, Thank for your reply. It's ok about the update of database. I read your manual .txt. I copy the line :
{set image=fetch('banner', 'image', hash('node_id', $module_result.node_id))}
And after, I write :
<img src={$array.img|ezdesing} />
Nothing happend.

Well you assign the result to the variable called image, but then you write $array ;-). That should of course also be image. Also you should use let rather than set, but i am not sure if that does matter ;-)

Hi Bernhard, Thank you very much for your help. I succeeded in posting a banner by section. Just one more question: if there are several banners by section and that one wants that they post way random. That is possible? Cheers

No that is not possible. But if it is generally wished i would implement it ;-)

Very useful addon. Thank you very much. I have one more idea about how to make this system even more flexible. Sometime, I need to asign not images, but just a HTML text (sometime with embedded images & flash). It whould be nice, if your addon will allow to assign ANY object to node. How to show assigned object - that's on webmaster choice. It's not difficult to select proper output in template, depending on object type.

Well you can theoratically also already now assign any kind of file to an node (for example flash, audio ...). I think what you suggest is that one could also assign html snippets which include other files to a node. Do i understand this right? If not perhaps you could give a more detailed example.

I mean, that anyone can create it's own class, for it own needs, when complex data required. For example, I need sometime HTML text with images. In my case, I will create "banner" class, which will contain one XML field. Such objects are very convenient to edit with OE. And the most convenient for my case whould to get in template all assigned objects of ANY type. Now you can get only images (files). If you will add ability to assign custom EZ objects too, you will take off such limitation.

Well, i could add the ability to define different object types.
If you then upload a file you would choose of what type it is. I would then also add an key 'type' to the template variable which would contain the chosen type for the object.
(this implies that you can upload any file type, not just images) The drawback still would be that you can only add one file per object. (could it be useful to add more than one?)
I cannot promise that it will work together with the online editor.
That would mean that i would need to parse the output. Havn't looked into that yet. (though i am sure i could utilize some ez publish class for this).
The way you describe it sounds almost like one would use ez to create classes and objects, and my extension to just seemply asign them. It would then only need to return the right contentobject.
The only thing i am not comfortable with is that then for example a 'banner' would be a normal content object (which could be called form the browser). Perhaps the others also have an oppinion.

My suggection is not to substitute, but to extend your greate contribution. Of cause, is't not convenient to make (and operate) separete classes for simple data (such as images). So, your contrib is very useful, of cause. I just mean, that banners can be of different types. And it would be nice to have both ways to operate. At my site, I need both "clean files" and HTML sniplets, for example.

I will release sometime around the weekend a new version.
It will contain some new features.
You will be able to upload any kinds of files, not just images. You could then also upload flash, mp3s ...
For certain types you can specify if the filepath or the contents of the file should be returned.
So you can for example assign html snippets to certain sections.
The html you upload will of course be checked by a script, so that xss and the likes should not be possible (that means in effect no script tags and no onmousover and similar attributes) Thanks for your suggestions Vitaly!
