Christophe Saint-Pierre	Thursday 13 November 2008 7:46:09 am Hi , I search for examples of codes for create nodes of File class or Image class passing the filename in parameter. Does anyone has some working example on version 4.0.1. Thanks.

That's a must. 2) Learn a bit about how datatypes are created. 3) Each content object attribute of different datatype may have its own way of storing data, and File datatype will most likely do. List your file class attributes, and for each one, go to /kernel/classes/datatyles/* and learn how it fetches/stores data, and use that API. 4) Don't forget to publish the newly created object/node. Hope this helps (a little bit) ;) -- Company: mediaSELF Sp. z o.o., http://www.mediaself.pl eZ references: http://ez.no/partners/worldwide_partners/mediaself eZ certified developer: http://ez.no/certification/verify/272585 eZ blog: http://ez.ryba.eu
