Hi.
We are currently working on integrating ezpublish with a media asset system , called mbm for now.

I have created a new datatype called mbmphoto.
This datatype already does the following:
1:the client clicks the button called launch mbm in ezadmin interface.
2:The button opens up a search window where the user may click on images.
3: mbm returns lots of paramters to our ez publish installation at a common url called /handlembm.php
This script should be able to store images in the media section and also relate this to the article where the user clicked the integration button.
Is this possible to accomplish?
We cannot return the content/edit/x/ url as this is not open to the mbm system and also this is as I understand it locked.
I am thinking that we might have to get our handlembm.php script to manipulate this article and store these images.
The problem is how can we notify our user about this, without requring a refresh of the edit window.
Could you please help with a guide on which steps to make.
