Is it possible to upload a .mov (quicktime) movie in the system and use this in a page?
Thanks in advance.

Are you talking just linking to the .mov file or embeding it in the page.
But the short answer is yes and yes. Let me know what you want to do and i'll walk you through it.

i'd like to embed a mov using CMSMS
i have a insert flash and insert image button on my module FCKeditor, but the user who will be uploading content would also like to add some qt movies.
thanks Paul
PS do you know what module for inputting txt and images they are using here on the forum?

Just put this in the "html source"
Code: Select all
<EMBED src="http://www.yoursite.com/yourmovie.mov" width="320" height="250" target="QuickTimePlayer"></EMBED>
There isn't a button on fckeditor that can do that yet... i'm sure someday they will add a "insert interactive media" that will take into account all types of embed elements.
Also, the forum isn't part of CMSMadeSimple... they are just using the template... I'm sure the dev's could answer your question better.

a display module would be a really cool feature.
it would, given a filename, or an upload id, determine it's file type (via mime types, or an extension mapping or something), and then output the appropriate or tag to display the file, using a template also stored in the module, etc.
any volunteers?

Thanks for that lemkepf. i could hard code it myself, but i'm setting it up for a user who wouldn't have those skills and doesn't really want to go down that rd.
I agree with calguy1000, that a display module which could add "interactive media" that takes into account all types of embed elements would be a really cool feature. i'll keep my eyes peeled for one

Maybe contacting Fckeditor people might be a good idea... they might already have something in the works? Or at least a plugin already built for that type of thing...

I'd also love to see a plugin to list/reorder/embed video(quicktime) files.... need this for a site I'm about to use and considering using CMS simple for it for the first time...
