        Pleasure, just needed something that gives me much more than a standard File-tv with a formatting-snippet especially an editable captiontext for slimbox zoomimages and such.

        I hope it is easy enough to understand how it works, if not i’m pleased to write some tutorial

          After install, I run module, fill form "new TV", submit it and after that getting error:


          « MODx Parse Error »
          MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
          « Execution of a query to the database failed - Out of range value adjusted for column ’id’ at row 1 »

            Had a chance to install it and create a TV...will test more later. A couple of observations:

            1. Since this contains both a module and a plugin, it would be good to give clear instructions about the asset files and in which folder they are to be placed, you know, to assist the not so seasoned users smiley I found out they are to be placed in assets/plugins

            choose a mediatype and a corresponding template for the mediatype and fill out all other fields,

            2. The above is not very clear for all file types. The SWF and youtube one can guess but for some it is not obvious which mediatype corresponds to what template, or am missing something? Probably needs clearer instructions.

            copy and paste the Template-Variable "{m{yourtv}m}" into your site-template

            3. I tried to copy and paste but the text was not selectable (FF3)

            I will post more observations once I proceed beyond the first step. Again, thank you very much!

            cheers/k grin

              @kongdongo:

              OMG, true, i updated the instructions with the installationfolder and the thing with the nonselectable formfield in ff makes sense to change that to a standard formfield or even plain text.

              mmhh true, choosing the proper template is a problem, i could create folders for every mediatype and only list the templates from the corresponding mediatypefolder, that would be an idea, so only one type of template is visible at a time

              @cept:

              Hey cept, thx for installing, the errormessage you get could be caused by 2 things -> your mysql is set to strict mode, or you have a mysql5 which has a bugissue with inserting empty id-fields where the database should create an autoincremented id itself

                  This looks very cool. From what I gather this is sort of an extension to template variables adding specific media types. Sounds great. I will check it out as soon as I get a chance. Thanks. grin grin
