Re: Re: Redundant images

Dear Peter,

I suggest you put the images into the common folder and add a selectable 
  meta attribute to the folder-object. That way you can choose the image.
Another way would be using a css class. Seams like in your case the 
images are more a style element anyway.

The attribute looks something like:
altTitleImage select (image1, image2, image3)

In pageelement_Headline or where ever your Title/TitelImage is rendered 
it should look something like this:

<dtml-if "getObjProperty('altTitleImage',REQUEST)">
<img src="common/<dtml-var 
"getObjProperty('altTitleImage',REQUEST)">.png" alt="" border="" />
</dtml-if>

This is still a lot of work for the people that insert the folders. If 
the construct is always the same, try to create the whole construct 
while inserting parent folder (still a messy solution).

There used to be the ZMS-Module which one could create out of the ZMI. I 
used it a couple times in the past but this option is gone -  haven't 
seen it for a while. But right now there is the option to create a 
content-module within the Special Objects but I couldn't figure out how 
that works. That way you could make your own folder construct - save it 
as a Module and insert the folder construct all at once, including 
pre-set attributes etc..

Maybe someone else can explain how that content-module is supposed to work.

Tobias Greitzke
